Thank you to Zack and Rayan for moving my big pieces in from garage. I had to trim it a bit and they tipped it on it's end and dropped it in to fit by a hairs breath. Loading it up w/ dishware and canned goods below.

With an old house comes various unique repair projects such as this outlet box that sets to deep in the wall. Not flush with drywall. I finally made my own extension boxes cutting the back out of plastic or fiber boxes. Then i needed extra long screws, worked.
Picture
Almost all switches, outlets and lights are installed. A few more to do. I can now turn on over head lights on in most rooms without dragging extension cords. Thank you Kerry, electrical guru.

Oh my golly, regular light switches working. Also 2 reclaimed ceiling fans installed.

Vintage lights i found. I liked the green but decided to paint black. I added a long cord and hung in studio. With 9 ' ceilings they look great.

Ta da, i expect improvement as the room fills with studio equipment. Right now it's a staging room for 610 projects.

I found this door on the street in Holland Mi. It fit in my HHR and i am reconditioning it for 610 bedroom window wall. The windows are from a client's farm house saved for me after they replaced with energy efficient ones.
Picture
View from in side the bedroom. Jean introduced me to framing the door and windows. My air nailer came in handy and i used a lot of salvaged boards from tear down.
Picture
Almost there. I hope Jean approves of how i handled her design. I have sanding, priming, caulking and painting to do. Not as clean as she would have done but great learning experience and many more to practice on. Thank you Jean. This house will surely be unique.

This is my wood working room off the classroom / studio. It will host my tools. Yes, inside the house. Easily i can move out onto the covered porch when needed.
Picture
I've put shelving inside the closet to keep tools and hardware. Even my compressor fits. It will simply have a curtain to access tools and increase room length. This feature i am using as i chop saw trim boards. Onto details. I will hang a piece of plywood on visible closet wall to hang tools. I am blessed.

A beginning, i love this steep angled dangerous stair case. I've only painted one color so far outside of whites. I may add stars on the walls, scattered here and there.
