July 29, 2011

Another site visit to take a look at some roof framing and to see what's been going on since we were there last. Roof framing and sheathing is cruising right along as you can see from the pictures. Below is the view you'll see coming in the new drive. The temporary gravel drive has been built up quite a bit above where the new drive will be. The garage doors below are actually framed up higher as they will have...

Mike has been in Haiti doing some good work for the last week or so. We've missed him here at the office and thought we'd show him how happy we were to have him back. Below is the awesome (at least we think so) sign that greeted him this morning when he got here. He's got some great stories and pictures and he's going to put together a post here in the next week or so, so stay tuned! ...

The glass has arrived and the stair is bolted in place. Ian and his guys had to make some on-site modifications to make it fit but its in for good now. Below, Ian, Rick and Greg make the first ascent. There is a bit of fill and sanding left to do and the stringers will be painted to match the wall color and the treads and railing will be stained a mid to dark brown. We'll stop by and take...

Custom Stair Install

June 17, 2011

We've been working on this project for some time, and the stair is just one part of a whole series of projects in the same residence but for us this is certainly the most exciting at the moment. Designed in the late 70's by Alan Feingold Architects the living room, and really the entire house is full of 45 degree angles which come together in a large 2 story. At each end of the room glass doors and large windows...

June 2, 2011

A new project we're working on just cleared the Mission Hills, Kansas ARB (architectural review board). Many people think that what they want to do to their house is their own business.

Below you can see the block shelf built up from the footing,...
