Thanks, the hos daughter was the designer. She was doing her apprenticeship with an architect at the time. That was a double edged sword to say the least.

Re: Soup To Nuts


Right on, man! Perfect before and afters...

Can you tell me more about the lack of rafter tails on the right side of the gabled roof (first pic of the 'during' shots)? haven't seen that done before and wondered what the finished look was... gutter on house wall?

ETA: Arrgh, nevermind. Realized the overframing on the porch roof covers that area...

Workmanship looks great. That rotunda (for lack of a better word) looks out of place on that house to me. I know you didn't design it. everything you did looks very nice.

Re: Soup To Nuts


Looks good man...I noticed your sheathing joints in the first "during" picture are all "stacked", or not staggered. Do you always do that? Everything looks good to me tho!

Two men, about 18 weeks. Then I spent about ten days on weekends doing extras in old section of house, for example luann underlayment for kitchen floor, same in second floor bathroom, wood paneling in old family room, tile ceiling in old dining room, repairing floor where the old coal cellar access was.........You get the point.

That's an illusion, all joints are broken at least two studs.
