What this is
Hands-on work across woodworking, renovation, and restoration on residential, lakefront, and beach properties. Diagnosing existing conditions, planning the repair or upgrade, and executing inside the constraints of a real environment. The work has included electrical tasks, structural improvements, and custom fabrication. The biggest single job was a beach house we redid from end to end.
What is pictured here is a small sample. The running list is in the hundreds of projects, most of them never photographed.
