This is my kitchen at the UWO where I go to school. After purchasing this house renovation was number one on my mind. This brief project shows the new kitchen. Essentially all that was done was a few touch ups with paint and changing the color of the cabinet handles.

This bathroom is in my sister's new house. She is currently in the process of renovating the entire place. One of the main focuses was a bathroom on the 2nd floor. The vanity you see here was changed entirely and the new one has a granite top. The new vanity is still at the place where it got done. It will be moved into the house tomorrow. I wil...

This is a bar my dad and I built back in the summer of 2005. We used old cabinet modules and restained the fronts. All the plumbing and electrical was also done by us. The mirror was an old one that used to be in the master bedroom. The counter tops were done by someone else. They are granite tiles bought for about $7 a square foot.

Here is just the set up of my hot tub. This hot tub was purchase at arctic spas and the slabs used around the tub were bought from Van Beeks if I recall correctly for about $10 a slab. Overall installation of the tub was easy. The only prep required was that the floor was level. This was accomplished by ripping up the grass and putting gravel on...

This was a two stage project. About 6 years ago the walkway was done in flagstone - replacing the builder's original patio slabs. =We added two large slabs of stone for the steps and surrounded the walkway with some larger rocks.

I had trouble fitting all my guitars in my room so I decided to build a guitar rack to hold 6 guitars against a wall. Its a really simple design with a few 2x2's, 2x4's, 7/8'' wooden dowel, and a cork sheet all bought from Rona.

I saw these reindeer at Sheridan Nursery for $100 and thought I could make something similar at a cost much less. I took these pictures and we got some wood from our garage to reproduce the reindeer.

Here is our chimney we redid last summer. The top of it started to crack due to a moisture problem. We selected these light colored stones to replace the old ones and had a contractor come and do the job.

This is a deck we built a couple years after moving in. The deck the house came with was way to small so this extension was much needed. It wasn't too difficult.
