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.
