Here are some interesting exterior projects. This is a good example of personal taste, as much as it is about the mechanics of getting a job done. The location of a property often sways the home owners choice of  color and aesthetics. For example in the first photo there is a house in Normandy Isles [...]

I got a call from Canada last night. A gentleman wanted to know if, I am capable of installing crown molding for his Florida home,that he is remodeling. The short answer is, “Yes”. I started to send him to this site to see for himself and then realized, I don’t have any pictures of crown [...]

A couple of weeks ago someone hacked my blog and deleted all my photo images. Since none of it was backed up(my bad) it took some doing to re build the posts. In this case I am not going to write a descriptive post. I will say that this years ArtiGras was amazing and worthy [...]

Just when you thought it was safe to go inside China puts the drywall screws to the consumer yet,again. Thousands of people along the Gulf coast states and Maryland and Virginia are complaining about drywall that smells of sulfur, which smells like rotten eggs. If that’s not enough to make you hurl your won-tons, many [...]

This artist’s work really grabbed me. I’m not an art critic but, as Bob says,”I aint no monkey but, I know what I like.” Loretta is too modest a woman to have her photo taken despite my coaxing. The following five photos are the work of Loretta Petraitis. Visit Loretta’s gallery by clicking the link below. http://artid.com/members/petraitis/studio/1

This place was horrid.All the wall paper and pop corn ceilings had to be removed.The paper would not come off after 25 years and had to be sanded off, only to reveal a moldy mess of drywall which needed to be replaced. Finally every inch of dry wall including ceilings had to be re-shmootzed. (shmootz is [...]

This past year has been the year of the bathroom for me. I had so much work lined up at years end, that I still haven’t gotten to all of them yet. But I will. Here are some pics of a few of them that are completed. This one (above) was a total tear out and [...]

Carl Monte Sculptures

Carl Monte was kind enough to allow me to photograph and post a sampling of his outstanding works. His sculptures range in materials from clay to steel and stone. Nothing parallels seeing his art in person. I hope my photo’s do his work some justice. Nonetheless, I’m sure you’ll agree that Carl’s work is an [...]

Actually, it was one of several that I had stored in my warehouse.I used to salvage and rebuild Triumph Motorcycle basket cases. All [...]
