{1} I did escape for a week to my favorite beach, but my summer wasn't all sand and surf. It started with a big crack in my kitchen ceiling, which was failing sheetrock holding up crumbling lathe and plaster and ancient insulation, not to mention more than a century of attic dirt. Hmmm...to fix or demo? Demo it was!
{2} Although I loved the look of the original rough sawn timbers, they all had to be covered with insulation. So, I saw this photo of these exposed collar ties ... ooooooo!
I already had school house lamps (don't all teachers?) in the dining area, and my contractor, Juan Franco Construction, was game, so off I went to a fabulous reclaimed lumber retailer...

ReplyDeleteThank you! The cabinets are super old. Countertops, frig and sink are new. I knew there would be a big mess, so I figured it would be a good time to change a few of my decades old (and style-lacking) features.

ReplyDeleteMost of the people prefer stationary power tools over portable tools as they are faster and more accurate. For example, a job done by a table saw is smoother, cleaner and straighter, when compared to the same task done by a hand saw.

Strong lighting too is vital to any power tool operation as the lighting is what keeps your fingers away from the blade and shows you exactly where blades are at all times. Get as many watts as possible on your next job and you'll keep yourself out of the emergency room.cordless screwdriver
