Holidays Hoopla

Finally, the Holiday season is almost over.In this line of work, the Holidays always get in the way... weather you are a home owner or a builder. Oh well, in any line of work, the Holidays always get in the way, financially speaking, hehehehe. And just thinking of the presents to give your loved ones gives everyone on the face of the planet a point of consideration, especially if your budget is so tight.

And with the winter season just starting... it is also unbeatable for the industry to slowdown aside from the fact that the economy is already messed up.

Well, the year will soon be over and another year is looming ahead. This is the time to be thankful for all the blessings we have received for this year. This is also the time to pray and hope for the best in the coming year. And most importantly, this is indeed the time to give way for "room improvement", quite literally and figuratively.

Happy Holidays Everyone.

Between Carpentry and Hunting

Hunting season here in Maine is almost over. And since our project is already finished and we are still waiting for the next one, I guess this is my chance to do what I love doing aside from building houses... hunting.





The start of the hunting season was pretty good to me. And I am proud to say that I got a "monster" last week. Yup, it was a 203 pound, 10-pointer buck that I shot around Sabago lake area. The funny thing is, me and my friend had to travel 4 hours north on the first day of the hunting season and didn't see anything but tracks. And this buck that I shot was just about 3 miles from my place.





Oh well, it may not be as big as the one I got in 2007 [250-pounder/14-pointer] where I got the 6th place in the entire state of Maine for the biggest buck and which earned me The Bigest Buck Club patch and certificate from the Maine Sportsman, but still I am happy that I got one this season.

The Carpenter's Work

The work of a carpenter is not done when the last nail was pound. It is not over until the last wood is laid. And it is not finished until the last drop of paint is applied.

The work of a carpenter continues maybe not in the same house he built but in the same trust that he built with the home owner. His work is carried on perhaps not in the same place he erected his masterpiece but in the same confidence he set up with his co-worker. And his work remains his legacy as he build new abode to master his craft.

Whether the Weather is... good or bad

Weather is one of the factors that could slow down construction.

With our line of work, no matter how badly we want to finish the job it is always a drawback if weather is not on your side. And here in Maine where weather changes every 5 minutes, the unpredictability of the season dictates the outcome of our job. But it doesn't necessarily mean that when the weather is not good... our job is too.

The quality of job remains the same whether the weather is good or bad. The quality of our work remains high, efficient and reliable. And the quality of our experience still drives us to build even in this tough economy.

Bathrooms

The bathroom is one of the important rooms in the house next to the kitchen.

Gone are the days where our forefathers used the woods to do their private business. Nowadays, bathrooms are as functional as the owner's lifestyle.

So even in this tough economy, we still make sure that the bathrooms provide a comfortable place for someone to be at ease with nature's call. LOL.

Building in this tough economy

Construction of new houses in this tough economy is what it is… tough. And despite the fact that there are lost of foreclosed houses all over the state, building new houses will always be a way of life for people.

Though construction of new houses is tough, there will always people who will need to build houses after all shelter is one of the basic human needs.

In this tough economy, people can still build their dream houses.

They only have to find the right builder who can provide them with quality yet inexpensive building materials that they can afford. It only takes honesty and trust on both parties.

Of decks and porches

Deck or porch is one part of the house which is very easy to build. It takes 3 to 1 week depending on the size of it and the materials being used.

Decks add beauty to the house. However, the functionality and purpose of the decks or porches can go beyond the authentic aspect of it.

Decks and porches can serve as additional room [with or without a roof] where you can entertain friends.

Decks and porches are good for hanging out during hot summer days to watch the sunrise or sunset.

Decks and porches are the best place and the first part of the house that one uses to enter the home sweet home. Want one of these? No problem just...

From useless Porch to Hot Spot

Having a hot tub right next to your bedroom or the kitchen is a welcome retreat from a hard day's work.

This is one of the addition we made this month for a farmer who works so hard in his farm the whole day braving a hat day under the fiery sun and dusty ground.

The new addition was a former screened porch that was used only for keeping their stuff what they no longer use or need. In other words... it was a useless room. And since it is useless we remodelled the old porch and turned it into something usefull.

The new addition is now a new room where they entertain friends and guests.

Windows to the world

Only dog houses have no windows.

Windows are not just an essential component of a house but a functional part of it. If it has no function, we will not build any windows at all. What’s the point? It is easier to build walls without thinking about a hole that should have a perfect measurement. Making the perfect hole make the job harder if not slower.

Windows give the house an aesthetic appeal on the building. That is why, there are different designs, shapes, colors and sizes that you can choose from.

Windows provide a very important function for the house – ventilation. Nobody wants to get suffocated and die breathless… quite literally.

And windows offers a natural light to the house that is not just relevant but practical. And just like the roof, the house will not be a house without this essential part of it.
