With Christmas coming up fast, it's time to get your orders in with her. She does crochet, artwork, jewelry and much more. Amazing, high quality work. I can't say enough good things about her.

Maurice and Karen have a really cool home and I have had the pleasure to work on parts of it many times now. For a long while there was an actual tree growing in a cutout of the concrete slab floor in the living room. This time around I rebuilt their hall bathroom which eventually included the entryway floor. I broke so much concrete with a sledge hammer to remove the floor of both rooms because they were not sound support for a tile floor. It wasn't all back-breaking. I was able to build an awesome custom linen cabinet. Overall this was a great project and I am really looking forward to the next one with them.

I recently finished a master bathroom for Kelly and Suzanne. They have been planning this one for quite a while. I know because I have looked at this bathroom a couple of times in the last few years. There is always going to be a hiccup in the course of a project this size. Minor things along the way, nothing that was the end of the world. All worth it for the result. This bathroom turned out really nice. I don't normally sub out much of any project. Kelly's brother is a plumber and he handled everything plumbing related. It was a relief to hand some of the responsibility off to someone else, but my natural tendency to pick apart other people's work, kept me on alert. I have to say, I did not find much to nitpick. Randy, you did awesome. Kelly and Suzanne, you guys made excellent choices on your bathroom. I hope you love it as much as I enjoyed building it.

This is why I hired Damien. You all know my attention to detail and my very high standards. Finding someone who thinks like me was a challenge. When I build something that will be covered by sheetrock or other finishes, I still put my all into it. I want anyone in the future who tears it out, to feel bad for doing it. Any project that is done by Butterfly Remodeling, either Damien or myself will be above and beyond industry standards. This is the current project that Damien is working on. This is some exceptionally clean work. It may seem to be just framing, electrical, and plumbing. Tons of work went into this space. It's a shame to cover it with drywall. This is the level you guys will get from us. If we put this much effort into things that won't be seen, think about all the things that we will be judged for because it is in the open.

Today was a great example of two heads are better than one. I knew there would be some water damage repair needed for the current project. After Damien pulled the sub floor, some serious structural issues became very apparent. We put our years of experience together to come up with a plan to fix this complicated issue. I think the problem solving requirements for remodeling is something we both enjoy about this kind of work. The person who made the previous repairs had good intentions and over did the misguided fix. There is at least a one inch dip in the floor over 5 feet. The joists were cut and new ones scabbed in with plywood gussets without any structural support. We now have to add a pier, post, and beam to carry the old floor and hang the new floor from it. Three extra days of very specialized work is going to be needed. On one hand, I'm jealous that Damien gets to do this one. On the other hand, there will be blood, sweat, and tears to get this where it should be. This is a ton of work and when the bathroom is complete, no one will know how much work went into making the floor flat.

I recently worked on a bathroom project with Larry and Jan. I did their master bathroom a few years ago and it was a pleasure to work with them again. The other bathroom project gave Larry the inspiration to do some of the projects in their home himself. He does really good work, but the bathroom was a little much. The goal of this project was not to build a magazine picture, spa getaway bathroom. We kept it pretty simple and very funtional. It turned out really nice. There are more projects in the works and I look forward to helping them out in the future, if Larry doesn't take care of them all himself!
