we are extending a 100yr old farm house 15 mins away in the hills....the old shack will
soon have 1 bedroom, a large studio, bathroom, laundry and a big deck overlooking the valley...
ALL materials are recycled/reclaimed and its good to be doing things the old way, using
hardwood throughout, hand cutting frames, building custom windows, re glazing
old doors etc..it has brought things back to a craft, and going to work is inspiring..
the finished product will look great, and i appreciate the owners vision and commitment
to do the old structure justice.
posts have been a little thin lately...the reason is my brother and i have gone into
business for ourselves...the scope is general building, particularly decks, pergolas and
extensions- we are focusing on environmentally responsible materials.
i am just about to build a large shed in the backyard at North Haven...we will also
be building custom/one off pieces of recycled furniture and in the nearish future once
the business settles and my wife gives birth...ill hopefully get time to shape a couple of
tube shooters....actually, to let you in on it all,.. i am going to learn to weld once i have
the shed. the dream is to build furniture, surfboards, and garden art at home under the
label peaceloveanarchy designs and build part time/ surf part time..haha sounds
good hey? future works will definitely be posted here on the blog so stay tuned..
in the meantime...i started a blog for our building company...we got super creative
with the business name haha...check it out if you got the time?..
