Company Overview

I started in the trades as a way to make money after school in Northern Va. My buddy would pick me up and taught me the basics of reading a ruler and hitting a nail. We worked as siding installers and as time went on, in an effort to expand my knowledge base, I was hired as a general laborer at a local construction site. The Superintendent took a liking to me and shared many of the basics of residential framing and building. Soon, I was learning trim carpentry as well and became well versed in building homes from ... See More the ground up. Not long after, I found I knew enough to do the timely finishing detail work needed prior to the homeowner's move-in date...I was a "Punch-Out" man and did that for many years. I worked as assistant building superintendent for a couple of years and after being offered a chance to run my own jobsite, I declined and began my own Home Improvement company. As time went by I became proficient in many different trades and expanded my company to include home repairs of all kinds and then to building homes myself. My Family and I reside in The State Capital, Richmond, Va. and the company focus is on exterior renovations including replacement windows, siding and overhang trim coverages. We now offer seamless aluminum rain-gutters roll formed on-site. "Let us make Your Silk Purse from the Ol' Sow's Ear!"

  • Gelatinous mass left on my friend's deck.  Animal or vegetable?

Outdoor Living: Unknown gelatinous mass left on a friend's deck….what could it be?

A friend sent me the following picture and wondered if I knew what it was, but I'm stumped. All I can think of is it might be an egg case of some sort or the previous year's skin shed from some creature. I have also seen some gelatinous fungi, but I really don't have a clue. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Sadly I did not take photos showing where I leveled the ground- placed gravel then concrete blocks to set my floor joists on.  It is 4'x10' has a slanted roof of tin and a ceiling height of 7'.
  • When building something like this just think of a big box.  Framework was 2x4 PT lumber siding T-111.  I used PT 3/4" plywood for the flooring which is okay for the interior, not the porch.  That should have been PT decking.
  • The bar which is a 2 seater has a swing up door with slide bolts inside for security.  I made the doorframe from 2x4s and covered it in the same siding.  It has a slide bolt and padlock hasp.  We added more decking to gain space.

I bought an unidentified "melon" plant last year from a garden center and it was in a potted raised garden I was

experimenting with and simply TOOK OFF! It was crawling out of the pot and moving across the yard like squash! It was putting out the most beautiful huge yellow blooms and I had 3 melons ...»

    silk purse from that ol' sow's ear!

    Raining intermittantly here today after a no-winded wet wollop last night! Overnight the lawn's from tan to green...I started to comment that it was like living in the Kalahari but from what I've heard, they are in a dangerous drought now with record low water levels! Same as Amazon...I may not blame the Hummer drivers but I truly see signs of global warming, especially in the reefs...Add the world to your prayers folks, and May God Continue To Bless The USA!

  • This is the after picture with a semi-custom version of the "Late Harvest" mural.
  • This is the before picture of my client's kitchen remodel

I wanted to share a mural installation for one of my clients.

The space was limited, so we had to do some changes to the original mural reproduction to make it fit the space. We were excited to see it come out successfully!
