I'll end up catching everyone up on the projects that I worked on for 2009, but right now is an exciting time for my company.
I was invited to help a friend of mine do a "Featured Home" for the 2010 "Great Big Home and Garden Expo" in Cleveland, Ohio. http://www.cmjdevelopment.com/
It's been a lot of work, but when the show starts this Saturday, February 6th, it will give me a chance to meet a lot of people face to face when they come to walk through the home. http://www.greatbighomeandgarden.com/ME2/Sites/Default.asp?SiteID=A775C55B18124691916DD3798B129DEF
The biggest portions that I worked on with this house was a covered fountain which then tied in architecturally with the driveway eave at the front of the house. I will post pictures soon.
If you are in the area, come out and visit me the next two weeks! You can find me at the "Pinnacle" house. Scroll down... http://www.greatbighomeandgarden.com/ME2/Sites/dirmod.asp?sid=&type=gen&mod=Core+Pages&gid=2BC0A354A46D4577897B0FA6373D875B

First blog
After months of hard work, www.blackbrookbuilders.com is up and running. It is my hope that the future will bring many more interesting and unique woodworking projects to share.
The whole idea of a webpage to showcase a carpentry/home improvement company still gives me a smile. When I started my career as a carpenter a short ad in the newpaper or a chance meeting is what led to many of our jobs. Now we punch our desires into a search engine and, presto, everything you ever wanted.
It is also interesting how computers have become commonplace on the jobsite. Years ago an idea or concept of a home remodeling/improvement project was a drawn out by hand on a pad of paper. Now we delivery a 3-dimensional rendering, complete with walk through technology, to the homeowner before any contract is signed or blueprint is made.
Times change. However, under all this technology it still takes a tape measure, pencil, saw, and a pair of skilled hands to bring these ideas and concepts to life. Technology will always change, but I am still using the same hammer and wooden rule that I used some 20 or so years ago.
Thanks for visiting.
