Projects

It seems we're always working on a project around the house.  For some of the bigger one's, we've created some "photo timelines" or mini-blogs of the project as it progresses.  It's fun for us to look back after the project is complete and see how it came together. 

Browse through the albums below to check out some of these projects or click here for a large list of projects we've done, and some we still have planned.

This is my door!

CleanupThe intensity of the rain increased quickly, so I snapped one final picture of Cathy bringing in the last of the tools and supplies. Now that framing is essentially complete (other than the gable framing mentioned above) the next task is to hang the plywood siding and roof sheathing.

Door mechanismAnother picture, showing the door track and mechanism. The effect is sort of a cross between a 'real' garage door and a roll-top desk. The tracks are kept parallel by a thin board running between them at the top rear, and the little stop blocks keep the door from being raised too high (as shown here and in the previous picture).

Checking for level stairwayTim checks to make sure the stringers are in their desired final position.
