Best Interior Project you have done to date

[Eieio]

What is that one interior project or house renovation that you completed to date that you consider your best project? Why?

I completed a 2400 sf renovation about 3 years ago that the homeowner spec'd out some of the coolest materials to be installed.

Even to this day when I go by and do work for him and I look around and think yeah I really pulled a master piece of on this one.

Please post pics if you have them

The home owner is going to give me a thumb drive with all the pictures I should have it next week.

I never really got into the picture taking until 2 years ago. I suck

[SLS-Construction]

The 1879 remodel - I also suck at getting pics, but it started off with removing the wallpapered paneling, drywall, followed by horsehair plaster & cleaning out rooms packed with trash.

Amazingly the only water damage was caused where they had tried earlier to turn a porch into a sunroom & did a crappy job with the vinyl siding.

Looks like a challenge. How many layers of flooring were there?

What in the world is that router doing on the kitchen counter?

Believe it or not - only 1, the hardwood - except in the kitchens & baths where they slapped the vinyl over underlayment once...

It was there temporary setup when they started moving in. It's real fun doing punch list stuff around all the boxes

Sean- How do you watermark your pictures? Sounds like a new thread idea.

[Century Man]

We reduced an entry closet in height. I think the guys did a great job matching the popcorn ceiling.

Sean- How do you watermark your pictures? Sounds like a new thread idea.

(free) www.picture-shark.com (http://www.picture-shark.com/) + logo + set location + set opacity at 20 to 30%

Chad gets the credit for reminding me about opacity after I saw the watermark he used on his pics

With the program you can do batches at a time or just selected ones - always make sure you put it in a diffrent folder, in case you don't like the looks

[loneframer]

I consider this to be my personal best because I did many phases of this job. Framing, roofing, siding, interior trim, replacement windows/doors and wood ceilings.

This entry hall was part of a whole house renovation, but it's one of my favorites:

The floor is slate, marble and granite. The entry doors were custom made, mahogany.

This gave me a headache. I did it with a helper. I am no finish carpenter or any type of carpenter for that matter

Reference a comment by Ed in another thread, I'm having door envy. Nice job.

Some days I feel like coming home and burning my house down.

[Msargent]

Ok so I will give you some quick background. I started this project last summer. I was called by a contractor who I now do alot of work for, to see if i could power wash mold and mildew off from linseed oil beams.Lesson number 1, NO ... hard lesson ...Do Homework before giving price. Chemically strip is best method period.So it was a barn that was disassembled in Mass and brought to Vermont and finnished. The carpenters got booted for taking the money and not doing the work that was billed. We were then asked to finish it off this is what I did. power washed all woodwork, sealer,then poly, hung sheetrock and painted.

[Msargent]

So this is the basement of the barn and this winter I did the up stairs and just finished the job last week. Up stairs came out way better.This is by far my favorite job

[orson]

This was a small job but probably my favorite to date: putting custom screen doors on a historic home.

Here's a kitchen I did. All solid pine, built on site. Mortice and tenon construction. All grain matched floor to ceiling. Custom cassings, rosett profile matches cassing profile. Corian fabricated on site.

[mikeswoods]

Pictures are great--Big too. How do you get BIG pictures to post?

Sorry didn't mean to hijack the post.I'll look for an answer in site help--MIKE

[OGStilts]

Well, this isn't the fanciest or most expensive one you will ever see but it was important to me because it was the first project I did after going out on my own. To top things off, these clients were about as great to work with as you could possibly ask for and to this day I'm still close friends with them.

It started off as a 1950's ranch, we gutted everything down to the studs, added a second floor and pushed a kitchen addition off the back.

Here's the before picture:

I know the pictures kind of suck but I only had a point and shoot at the time. Now I got my SLR and I'm starting to learn how to use it. Need Leo to come down and give me a few pointers.

Yup, it's a wine rack. The room will hold 493 bottles.

The question that comes to mind: did they fill it with expensive stuff, or 'Two Buck Chuck'?

:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

[Leo G]

He's got a few $2000 bottles of wine in there, and he drinks them http://fototime.com/960DB418ABE96DF/orig.gif

[naptownCr]

after looking at the last few pages this is my only response.

I jizzed in my pants

Great looking projects

Leo that wine cellar needs a few thousand bottles more capacity. Is it set up properly with climate control?

[Leo G]

Yep, set up with the proper climate control. The unit is outside the room. I had nothing to do with anything but building and installing the racks/cabinets. It was part of an $80K cellar remodel.

It took me almost three days to put the small bevels on all the parts. I made a jig for my edge sander and stood in front of it and put a bevel on 10 edges of each of the cross members that hold the bottle up. There were close to 1000 of these. It was mind numbing.

[ChrWright]

Bumpity Bump.

All right newbies... Let's see some of your best interiors.

We did the cabinet work in this house.
http://trendsideas.com/ViewArticle.aspx?article=12151&region=4
No credit from the mag, would have had to pay $10,000 to be included in the credits.
By contract we were not allowed to take pictures or say who the owners are.
Click around and look at all the pages it was quite a cool job.

The curved log stair case is sweet!!!

The curved log stair case is sweet!!!

The balusters and railing were made from sticks picked up on the site and were used as molds for the bronze castings.
The cabinet hardware was done the same way.

[bconley]

That job was for my previous employer before going out on my own.
I was PM, designer, sales and installer for them.
We now subcontract all the install for this company.
Here are more projects I was involved with for that company. http://www.otww.com/testimonials/
