Built a waist high raised bed for my Mom for Mother's Day. I was having trouble finding 1" hemlock nearby so I went with locally milled 1x12 rough sawn pine and built it so the box can be easily replaced when it inevitably breaks down in a few years. All connections on the frame were made by pocket screws and I added stainless steel eyelets around the trellis for connecting twine as needed while still leaving the option to keep the space accessible. Mom is very pleased.

Filled with compost from Lucky Paws Farm in Harrison and nutrients from North Country Organics which can be found at Paris Farmers Union.

Shower enclosure swap and trim.
I was recently contacted by a new client that had their contractor bail on them at the end of the job, leaving them short of an occupancy permit and with a number of things either incorrectly installed or left unfinished. This shower door was 2" too big for the shower base but was installed anyway so I swapped it out for the correct size. The flooring was also not installed tight to the shower base so I added some quarter-round to cover the gap. One step closer to having this new construction ready for habitation!

Some firewood loads from the last couple of months.

This tree work was completed by an arborist but we do offer tree removal when there is no risk of structural damage as well as brush removal and property clearing.

Weather-tight with caulking on exposed areas.
Installed with minimal fasteners to avoid putting holes in the siding or trim. Wire tucked neatly behind the channel and trim.
