This is the step-by-step detailed photojournal of the project I shared last week. To start with the beginning, click here. The short version is I wanted to build some beautiful concrete countertops. I knew I wanted to use Sakrete 5000 Plus for my project. Sakrete 5000 Plus is high strength and rapid setting. I needed […]

Have you seen the new layout of Google Image Search? This is where I find most of my pictures and what was a very time consuming process just got much faster. Take a look at the new look of search results for the first remodeling words that come to my mind: yellow walls. (I’m sitting […]

I’ve designed dozens of second floor additions. One of the hardest parts is finding a place for the staircase. I always thought I was pretty innovative.
