I made a cart for my wet saw so it will be portable and keep the surroundings dry and clean. The design based on the Dry Guy saw stand. I wanted to have bigger wheels on the cart so I used and old hand cart I have. I used Schluter materials for waterproofing the pan and the side curtains. I had everything on hand only had to buy some 2 x 3 boards.

In Spring 2016 I began work on installing a custom fireplace surround. The decorative tile is by Motawi Tileworks in Michigan. The Halsted Arch design was customized by the home owner. A wrought iron arch trim was fabricated "the hard way" by Joe Miller of Brasstown, NC.

Completed in early 2016 a custom steam shower. Original mosaics by Lisa TeviaClark of Bella Vista Tile. 3 types of stone used on the floor, glass tiles on the ceiling and 12 x 24 porcelain on the walls. Schluter System products were used to create a steam-proof environment.
