Wiring in a ceiling is always an adventure.

Needed to replace a broken combination fan/light/heater in clients bathroom. What the instructions *don't* tell you, is that if they're already wired separately on the switch, you need to rewire the unit to match.

Fun times!

Client had a pile of unused 2x4's and no place to store their kayaks.

I repurposed the wood, sealed with an exterior paint. Padded the ends and covered with an exterior rug, placed on deck block to prevent ground contact.

I like the colors!

I like to up-cycle whenever possible. It just feels wrong to throw something in the dump when it still has life in it.

Here I was acting as a sort of Furniture-broker; my client had a specific need. When I found this i knew it could be perfect.

So I cleaned it up, fixed a couple dings, fabricated display trays and added LED lighting. It came out superbly.
