HOME BUILDING
Posts about posts! And holes and studs and timbers and all of the various pieces that make a house a place to live as opposed to an ominous pile of materials a truck drops off beside a big hole.
nik Notes from the hood
Making the range hood in the basement workshop. Finally those tall ceilings downstairs are showing their usefulness!
nik Pretty in Pink
Can you guess which room belongs to the only daughter of the house?
nik Mr. Speaker
Adding the in-ceiling speakers. One in the kitchen, one in dining room, two in the wood soffit on the back deck, and two in the cathedral part of the living room.
nik Above the fog
Finn looks down off the finished back deck on a foggy morning. Copper post caps by sheetmetalcaps.com (highly recommended!)
nik Staying on track
The boys and I took a break from homebuilding (and before we sold our trusty backhoe) and built a pump track to race their bikes around on.
nik Vanity vanity
Another look at the bathroom vanity we built using leftover timber pieces and iron pipe. Ikea Braviken sink and faucet.
nik Grime-time
Chip helps put together a vanity for the basement bathroom. We used some leftover timbers for the vanity top and iron pipe for the base.
