Home machine works – computer nook work surface

My computer work area is off the main hallway to the back of the house and I am planning on it having a wall to wall birch plywood surface. To make it sufficiently stiff, I am going to reinforce it with an aluminum spine. Echoing the kitchen island, I hand milled this weekend a T-bar […]

House numbers – Mid Century style!

More mid century stuff – I needed a number for my house, so I ordered from a company I found as an advertiser in Atomic Ranch magazine that specializes in Mid Century modern styling. I ordered my number (337) in cut stainless steel like the photo below but with the background plate in Capri Blue […]

May 2016 – a busy month

May has been a really busy month for me with a lot of travel for both work and personal. I went to California twice, visited the BNY Mellon Innovation Center in Palo Alto which was super interesting and did general work stuff in the office. Then a few days later my parents and I traveled […]

Building a house is like building a sand dribble castle at the beach

About 10 years ago, I was heavily involved in building out our office space in San Francisco (about 96,000 square feet). This is in a large downtown office tower and it was bare concrete floors and completely empty floor to ceiling on 4.5 floors – so about 22K square feet per floor. Our architects were […]

Big house update

It has been a few weeks since I last posted. I have been travelling a fair bit and lots has gotten done

First off and exciting – the Geothermal system is installed and running. With that up and going, Paul was able to bring the house up to full temperature and get the floor and […]

Cold, cold, cold Washington’s Birthday holiday in Carlisle

This morning (Sunday), at sunrise, it was a chilly -21 degrees Fahrenheit on our front porch (indicated at -16 but we normally find a 5 degree difference due to heat from the house impacting the thermometer). The temperature at the town center is showing at -11. I think the difference is that we are downhill […]

Happy MLK Day! A three day weekend leads to: Workshop design thoughts

Woke up this morning (Monday, Martin Luther King day – which is a stock exchange holiday, so one of my few official 3 day weekends) and we had a surprise overnight snow storm. The forecasts didn’t seem to predict this and when I went to bed last night at 10pm, there was no precipitation. Not […]
