Eevy ivy over

With the design of the outside of the house largely in the bag it is time to nail down the direction of the interior. The living room/dining room will have high walls and a higher vaulted ceiling. It will be bisected by a bridge over the center linking the bonus rooms upstairs. We are talking of an upper, routed molding separating the ceing from the walls. This fancy molding will house LED lights that will wash the ceiling with a warm glow. It will tie into the trees and vines we will sculpt as visual support for the bridge. 

Over the next days I'll be routing some samples and we'll paint them up to see if they work in the way we envision. It is going to be fun. Stay tuned...

Dig this!

It is always an exciting day when the big machines start to roll onto the property and the digging starts. Today was that day at last. The first order of business was to pull the stumps and load the debris into the dump truck to haul away.

Then it was time to relocate the beautiful split leaf maple that was in the way of the new driveway. This tree will now be the landscape centerpiece of our new entry to the house.

Now the fun starts.

Making flat into 3D

Today, we carved the sign for the LOGIX block supplier. Typically we design almost everything we make with the dimensional aspects of the sign designed in from the start. The trick on this little project was to interpret a previously designed corporate logo into a three dimensional sign. It came out pretty cool and will look even better painted.

I can hardly wait to show it to Patrick!
