you can detect any difference. |

He heard a cracking sound, a swoosh of water! I got
a call to make a Birch covering to make it look
just right. |
| A Cabinet for All of Us |
Fay's E-bay |
 |
This was a cabinet for both humans and pets, and
for its size, does all they wanted. |
 |
Her business was growing, her home was not.
The garage was all she had left, so look at what
we designed and I did. |
| Pella in Lakewood |
Cozy Cottage Shingles |
 |
Pella, beautiful Pella, what more needs to be said about these beauties? |

After 50 years even the best cedar shingles have
got to be replaced. |
| Copy Cat |
The Sun Blocker |
 |
A dentist wanted his bathroom cabinet doors to
match his new base cabinet and so we
did. |
 |
This cabinet fills a window casement and blocks
out the sun, great idea! A true two-for-one
solution. |

This was a gift I made for my favorite birthday girl! |

the dogs where they belong . |
| Jets and Decks |
Turtle Creek Oasis |
 |
My client once was a fighter pilot and now
he needed a new deck plus a Pella French door unit
complete with 'side lights'. |
 |
Situated near the Mansion, it was the best restoration
and client job I
have ever had. |

We installed a Parquet floor throughout, Oak
stairs, custom marble hearth, new tile for
closet and new paint throughout. |

windows across the front of the home. |

chose Pella. He is happy now! |
| Bay View Winders SF 1987 |

San Francisco, California. This is one of the
many staircases I took pictures of from 'way back'
then. |
 |
A Sacramento Street home got a new Douglas Fir
staircase and deck. |
| Sacto Shelving |
Pole Bed SF |
 |
An interior designer wanted to make the best use
of the bar in his small apartment. |
 |
I made a bed frame of 8" and 4" thick fence posts.
I
sanded everything smooth, drilled the 'through holes'
and then assembled them. |
| Glass Bricks Wall |
Athereton, California |
 |
A couple of bathrooms needed some light and some
privacy. |
 |
My first California remodel back in 1989, ask me
about it. I have a great story to go with it! |
| Airoldi Deck |
Angie and the Fence |
 |
This resurfacing of an old crosstie deck, made
it possible for my client to walk on it. A
couple of floods made the surface really uneven. |
 |
My friend Angie wanted a Redwood fence for her
new home and I got busy! |
| Floor Sand a Deck |
SF Arbor |
 |
I had a bright idea, 'why not put a floor
sander on this new deck." It turned out so
beautiful, they loved it. |
 |
I built a lovely arbor for a sportscaster in San
Francisco in 1985. As the years went by, the
foliage really filled in and made it look great. |
| Mother of All Fences |
|
 |
Although this fence was only 40' long the
concrete foundation I had to dig and then pour
was a big project for such an inaccessible job
site. |
