Carpentry, Tradework, Rain barrels & Fences


Rainwater catchment from a Weaverville home to its Garden. I love building garden fences. This one has locust posts split from a log right there on the homeowner's property. The gates are custom built for the slant of the earth and fit snug with springs and hasps to catch and stay. I have installed rain barrels more than 10 times and built stands for them 50, 100, 250 and one 500 gallon (full of water that is 41,000 lbs, so it must be sturdy)


This is 32'x16' timber frame in Marshall that I was pivotal  in helping to erect and stabilize. See homemadeinmarshall.com for finished building

 Below is a two story addition to a house. the siding is corrugated metal. Fun to frame.











This is a house -->    in west Asheville that I floored with a flourish. The owner was a bee farmer and built himself, so the subfloor was a little wonky but with some handiwork the new oaken floor does not creak or squeak.


This was a fun project in Kenilworth for three kilns of a ceramic artist. Because they overheat a closed space we built this addition (on left) It is basically a glorified fence: it has slatted walls for maximum cross breeze, the posts are joined to the roof with custom smithed steel plates, making the notch for them -->



Below is a Quonset hut. its like an airport hanger and takes a few days to assemble with 4 men. I was second in command for this job and put up the walls and 'wane-edge' siding and windows, too.
