Cheap appliances and a microwave/vent over the stove is a total show stopper for me. It’s just as hideous as a TV over a fireplace.

Now, if anyone here has a TV over their fireplace please don’t be offended. Rest assured Mother Nature will reprocess your home into the Earth in a hundred years and all your sins will be swept away.

Thanks Spence......I hope someday I can show a kitchen that you like. I gather you know your way around a kitchen. Besides being a carpenter I cook very often and im good at it.



Ive been working outside for a change....they didnt want the regular outside trim guys doing this and two other windows on the front elevation.

Nice detail but I’m sure it costs. The floating panel look under the windows adds a lot of visual interest. How is the foundation going to be finished or will the grade come up?

Its all PVC ... i didnt see the invoices or know how many hours....but yeah...just for curb appeal... looks nice and they thought it was worth it so...i enjoyed doing them and was so cold doing it it brought back memories of flipping staging planks with frozen snow on them. Did staging planks get hevier or is it me?

The building lot was quite a bit lower than street level and the entire front yard will be a good sized septic system area for the four and a half baths that will be filled in entirely..... they didnt pay much for the land and the back is walkout with covered decks. it will be good. Pretty big kitchen and cabinets everywhere.

I never thought I’d let PVC anywhere near my house but last summer did my deck, wrap around porch and stairs in all in Azek Vintage Collection with Azek Pinnacle railing on the stairs. Material cost sucked but damn it looks great. Cortex system with plugs are nearly invisible.
