Avita Stroudwater

In June through September, 2013, we performed a major installation at Avita Stroudwater Memory Center, an assisted living facility in Westbrook, Maine. As part of the job, we installed seven beadboard ceilings, three kitchens, dozens of bathroom vanities and solid-surface sink/tops, work stations and various other cabinetry; beadboard wainscoting, chair rail, lean rail, door and window trim, columns, half-wall caps, and crown mouldings.

Wheelchair Ramp

This ramp was added at Calvary Hill Baptist Church in Wilton, Maine, and enclosed with clear polycarbonate panels to help keep snow and ice off of it.

custom cabinets

These tall cabinets were custom-built for a customer, as part of an entire kitchen. They are solid oak, with panels made from the same boards from top to bottom so that the grain follows through from one panel to the next. The door frames are constructed with mortise-and tenon joints, pegged with pins hand-shaved from the same oak as the doors. Unfortunately all photos of the rest of the kitchen were destroyed in a fire.

This photo also shows thi post-and-beam work I did, removing a wall and replacing it wth open timbers. I did the same on another wall, opening the kitchen up into the living room.

Two-Drawer Side Tables

These tables were custom-built to the customers specifications from bird's-eye maple, stained to match their bed. The dovetailed drawer sides are all hand-cut.

Cherry Dresser

This cherry dresser has a hand-rubbed linseed oil and wax finish, and solid aromatic cedar drawer bottoms. The drawers are all hand-dovetailed, and I spent one entire day hand picking the boards for color match and consistency. The drawer fronts are made so that one board was cut in half to make the left and right drawers at each level. They are graduated in depth to give a sense of stability.

Corner Hutch

I built this corner hutch for a couple in Rumford. At their request, it is made of 100% solid ash, no plywood, even for the back or drawer bottom.

In a corner of the basement of a camp on Clearwater Lake, we added this bathroom?laundry. The concrete floor was uneven and out of level, so we framed in shallow joists to bring it flat and level. We insulated the walls and ceiling, partitioned from the rest of the basement, and covered the walls with pine tongue-and-groove boards. We also built the vanity, and contracted the plumbing and electrical for the project.

Cabinet and tile installation

Unity, Sept, 2012

On this job, we opened the soffit above the front door to expose pipes that had been freezing, then custom built a louvered panel to cover the hole but allow heat into the space. We also used expanding foam to close the cracks which were allowing cold air to reach the pipes. In addition, we installed new Azek water boards and cedar siding to a gazebo on the property.

Fayette, August 2012

This project was an addition which doubled the size of the existing bathroom. On the exterior we installed cedar shingle siding, architectural roofing, and a skylight. Inside we added a shower and tub, with tile surrounding the tub and also the floor.

Hartford, Maine, Oct. 2010-May, 2013

This house was built Winter 2010. We were called to build the lean-to first, to the left of the garage. This Fall we built the garage to fill the space between the lean-to and the house. It is 26' by 30', and required the construction of a plywood box beam to span front-to-back and carry the joists. We also built a small goat shed and a larger outbuilding, part of which serves as a chicken coop.
