Here is Jordan building the tile countertop.

Here is one of our finished rooms.

“Love truth, and pardon error.” –Voltaire

After (but not quite finished)

(August 9, 2007)
The Filmore Street House
This is the same house below after ALOT of Jordan and Ben’s hard work. Currently we are working on the inside. More to come on that later.

“We die daily. Happy those who daily come to life as well.” –George MacDonald

Before

(August 6th, 2007) This is the house Jordan, Ben and I are working on. There is a joke here when someone sees a pile of wood or rubbish, they say “We should call Ben; I bet you he would buy that house.”

“All human wisdom is summed up in two words – wait and hope” –Alexandre Dumas Père

My House

This is my house. We have been working on it. I thought I would put these up so that you could appreciate the after pictures. (June 10, 2007)

“In the ancient recipe, the three antidotes for dullness or boredom are sleep, drink, and travel. It is rather feeble. From sleep you wake up, from drink you become sober, and from travel you come home again. And then where are you?” — D.H. Lawrence

The Three Stooges

These are pictures of us working on the Filmore Street house. (June 8, 2007)

Stairway to Heaven

(May 14, 2007)
This is the spiral staircase my brother built. It is on the back of the Thor building (which is the big building they are renovating here in Virginia). I think he did a great job and I like the angles in the picture.

Welcome Home

This is a picture of the bedroom my brother prepared for me. It is in a huge 300,000 square foot factory. (April 24, 2007)
