Tuckerman's main house:

I built this loft for my now teenage daughter last fall (gave her room for a study nook):

Then, still in need of a closet, I built her this for X-mas:

I stole the space from above our stairs...

She wanted a mirror to put on makeup... oh, oh!:

Drawers:

And lots of storage (three feet deep, five feet high and six feet long):

She loves it (and picked the colors), so I'm happy!
You're a pretty cool dad
Would really like to see more of this. It's very intriguing.Quote:

I'm going back to the drawing board..
If someone wants to give me 10 grand I'll build a house (a small house) and post very tedious TR's along the way. Takers? You know you want to. Consider it grant, for a starving architect.
Heh, more like unbuilt....

Looks good. Can't wait to have my own place with total control in the backyard.
The wind and weather epically failed to cause the original construction decks to fall off my house, so I (finally, my wife says) took matters into my own hands.
I removed the original 3 (12'x10') redwood decks and replaced them with 3 Brazilian Tigerwood decks.
Here's what I started with:
http://chuckhartshorn.zenfolio.com/i...p160899664.jpg
The three original decks were replaced with: 10.6' x 9.6' daylight basement walkout deck, a 36' x 12' main deck and a 12'x12' foot upper deck with full gutter system and an Idaho blue stone patio.

A picture story of the construction process may be found here.
^^^ nice My fatherinlaw and I put those metal verticAl railings on the inlaws deck. I reALLY LIKE HOW THEY LOOK AND STOKED TO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM WARPIN, CUPPIN AND FUCKIN
UP
Thanks! I hear you, the original fir balusters were rotted and a PITA to maintain. And the big plus is that the shape doesn't cause a blind spot when viewed at an angle.Quote:

I really like this direction, I am trying just use the bike thing as a small part, not the overwhelming part, visually.

Here is some perspective on my pricing (sorry to thread-hog).
I am going to guess that what I am doing takes way more time than these. (They go for $300-$400). I think I can do better.

The vision of where I want to go with this is coming into clearer focus...
^ummmm, that's like comparing a Porche to a VW. You are the 911.
Thanks. I am being blown away by the stuff I am seeing these days, now that my eyes are open to the exceptional stuff (not the above). I am feeling the need to step it up, and make some serious pieces...
Built a Jockey Box. About $600 bucks in parts, utilizing two 75' stainless steel coils, new co2 tank, faucets, taps, regulator, bulkhead fittings, hoses and 48qt. cooler, one crudely drawn schematic, etc. So far one keg of Stone IPA and one keg of Sublimely Self Righteous Ale has traveled through the left side tap and some girly yellow fizzy shit through the other. Fill with six bags of ice and pour!!
