bac to back

Hi, I am feeling good right now. Another productive day on the job, and another photo of the awesome closet i just finished. Keep the faith, and keep it real. - zenbuilder out.

Custom closet in the craftsman style.

I love to build beautiful intelligent closets! Look at this one cedar lined from floor to ceiling, perfect utilization of space. This is stain grade, no to be confused with paint grade, which is o.k., but not what the discerning person wants, if quality is their goal. I will publish more photos of this closet as the days progresses

Vacation

Hello, it's been a while, and it's high time for a new post. Where do I start? How about discussing my new projects? Naa too boring, let's talk about my recent family trip. We just returned from a college scouting trip with our daughter Ashley and son Trenton. While on this journey kept a diary/journal of our experiences. Nothing incredible happened good or bad, so that's a positive though some interesting and amusing things did occur that were worth writing about. I am currently editing my journal some 60 some odd small pages all printed in a masculine scribble that only I can decipher.

creating Art

Recently i traveled to San Luis Obispo to visit my son who attends college there. My son took myself, my wife, and our guests to an organic farm where he is interning. the manager of the farm was a cool, energetic, man with a degree in horticulture, and boy did he know his stuff! I will try to load a video of our experience. ( If not you will see a picture.) If you are reading this please add your comment.... any comment. thanks- Zenbuilder

Threshold masterpiece.

Hey people out there, how are you today? I just worked on a tricky little job. I removed a rotten Oak threshold and replaced some dry-rot framing underneath. How exciting! Actually how i replaced was interesting. I purchased a new oak threshold, then Covered it completely with an extruded aluminum sill cover and caulked it with silicone. It was a weird scenario with living space directly underneath the sill so that's why I made it completely water impervious.

Tax season

Wee! it's tax season again. I built this custom sign for a tax business in Redondo Beach about 6 years ago now it needs to be refurbished. I actually painted over the lettering as one can see from the photo. Zenbuilder loves to do small jobs... cause he meets people and makes connections for bigger jobs.

custom door. installation

Well here's the finished installation! What a lovely little playhouse, now it's a doghouse for Zena the warrior puppy. Oh yeah did i mention that I built the playhouse to match the custom house. This was built about 5 years ago.
