Bathroom that I remodeled. The client did all the design on how it would look. I came up with the layout and mechanicals.

This is what it looked like before I started. There had been a previous remodel that had allot of problems. There was water damage, magor wood rot and very little room. During demolition, I also took out a closet from the nieghboring bedroom.

You can see some of the wood rot in this picture. You can also see that the floor joists are on 2ft centers. Some were cut short and others were not attached to anything. It looked like a bad repair job during the previous remodel.

I replaced all the damaged wood, more then doubled the number of floor joists along with blocking. I also used metal brackets to attach the floor joists to the sill plate. Everything is attached with 3 inch, exterior, deck screws. I never use nails on repair jobs!!!

I use a 40ml liner to make the shower floor water tight. There is no way that this floor will ever leak, and the only place for the water to go is down the drain!! It's very simple, but extremly effective.

The walk in shower does not have a door. At the back of the shower is a seat and soap dish.

The client came up with all of the layout for the tile except for the soap dish. I came up with this design. It's 32 inches wide and 16 inches tall.

There are allot of transistions for the different types and sizes of tile.

The finishing touch!!!!

2009-08-26T20:01:00.000-07:00

Client had another contractor install her fireplace and start on the mantel. He got so far and then quit. They then hired another contractor to finish it off, but he also quit without finishing.

This is what it looked like when I was hired.

I tore apart the mantel and redid it so they could install a flatscreeen TV and surround sound. There are (2) two inch pipes to run cables and wires out either side so they are hidden.

The client chose Alder for the wood. The opening above the TV is for the center channel of the surround sound.

They wanted lights under the mantel to shine on the glass tile. I didn't install any of the tile on this job. Unfortunately, the contractor who did this refused to even look at it when it slipped and it took four months for him to fix it.

The first contractor installed the doors and did a good job of it. The electrician didn't run the wiring for the lights as the client wanted them, so I changed it so there are nine light switches. After that, I finished the walls in the same Alder wood as the mantle.

I installed the crown moulding in the room.

After I started to install the wood flooring, we realized that there was a low spot right past the doorway. Worse place to be, and also very noticable when walking into the room. I removed the wood and leveled the concrete slab underneith, then re-installed the floor.

Still a bit dusty, but the floor is done.

This is where we stopped on this room for now. There is a list of things still do to, but for now, the room is livable.

2009-08-26T18:19:00.001-07:00

Fence that I built.

First I marked it all out and go over the layout with the clients.

Electrical lines are in conduit and the trenches are under the fence. I poured concrete footings for the colums with rebar for additional strength.

I used cinder blocks for the colums with the rebar and conduit run through the middle of the blocks. I then filled the colums that have the rebar in them with concrete.

The lights have a three way light switch. One exterier switch at the front gate, and another light switch inside the house.

The fence seen from the front porch.

Finished fence with the lights turned on.

2009-07-27T04:47:00.001-07:00

This is a 12ft x 30ft covered deck that I bult for a client with a matching, metal roof.

I used PT 6x6 posts for their strength and apperance. Smaller posts just don't have the same look to them that these do.

One of the important details to this project was the building of a bar between two of the posts. My orignial plan was to use lumber bought from the store, but I noticed that the client had a stack of lumber along his driveway. In that stack was three very large pieces of preasure treated that was 3 inches thick and 13 inches wide. I chose the best piece and cut it to fit. This is one of those times when we just got lucky!!!!

I like to cut and notch my lumber to get the strongest fit possible. I also like the way it looks when it's finished.

There are a total of five lights, which are on a dimmer switch.

Three ceilng fans!!!!

Walnut cabinet that I made to hold this computer.

2009-04-21T05:48:00.000-07:00

Landscaping that I did for a playground. They didn't have any mulch on the ground and every time it rained, what they did have, would wash away.

2008-12-30T20:55:00.000-08:00

This is a bathroom that I remodeled with the design by Lorrie Gazette of Creative Order & Design. 903-520-4625 www.creativeorderdesign.com

She came up with the color, tile and fixtures, while I added a few touches of my own like the frame around the mirror.

She drew up the pattern for the tile, and I made it a reality.

This is the "before" picture of the bathroom.

I like to take the time to line up the tiles in the corners so they look like they all belong together.

The wall for the bathtub was five feet, two inches. To make up the extra two inches past the length of the new bathtub, I created an extended shelf on the custom, built in soap dish.

I installed a brand new bathtub after removing the original, pink tub.

James Hardi backer boards were used with special tape to seal the seams.

I installed a brand new valve assembly for the tub and shower.

This bathroom didn't have any outlets. I installed a GFCI outlet next to the sink and another near the toilet.

2008-12-30T20:25:00.000-08:00

This roof has allot of problems. It all started when the air ducts were installed. Instead of routing them around the lumber that makes up the rafters, they cut the rafters.

Without all the wood required to support the roof, other pieces of lumber snapped.

And still, others cracked.

Another.

I had to rebuild the roof from the inside, while leaving the ductwork in place. Every piece that broke was replaced with larger or more lumber then used in the orginal build.

Every piece was custom cut and fitted. Then I screwd them together for additional strength. The roof is now stronger then it was when originally built.

2008-12-30T19:58:00.000-08:00

This laundry room had a leak for quite awhile.

After cleaning up the mess, it was obvious that the problem was in the drain line and old fashioned, metal mount that held everything together. The metal was not water proof, and water leaked through it into the wall.

I replaced the drain in the wall, and all components with brand new.

This is the "before" picture. The bathroom had carpet on the floors.

This is the "after"picture with new tile that I installed.

2008-12-30T09:34:00.000-08:00

This is a fake barn that I built.

I used insulation foam. I cut it out to fit the space available.

I made it in five peices so that I could transport it and assemble it by myself. Each peice was painted in my shop, then assembled on the stage.

2008-09-22T17:32:00.000-07:00

This is an 18ft X 28ft deck that I built. It is custom fitted to the Fifth Wheel RV and has a built in Hot Tub. The client decided on the size and layout that they wanted, along with the finished features.

This is the RV sitting on site just before I started setting posts. Previously, I installed Sewar, Water and Electricity for the RV. The cement pad was already present and a big part of deciding the location to park the RV.

The basic framework for the deck.

For maximum strenght, all posts are notched. This makes for the strongest possible attachement.

Decking is down, as are the stairs. The hot tub is in place and the framing is almost done for that too.

The hot tub was just the fiberglass tub. I built all the wood that holds in in place, custom fitted for the hot tub. The gate on the railing is child proof with a lockable latch. The handle is attached to a 4x6 post, instead of a standard 4x4 post.

When I ran water for the RV, I also caped off a line for this spicket to supply water for the hot tub. Then while framing it up, it was a simple task to install the water spicket.

The second post to the left of the stairs has one of the two outdoor electrical outlets. All wires are in approved conduit and the outlets are on the outside of the posts, to make them safe for kids.

RE: Recommendation for Eddie Walker

It is my privilege to recommend Eddie Walker as a highly qualified builder and contractor. As a retired building inspector from Florida, my standards are quite high when it comes to building, construction, and codes.
Eddie has completed a bathroom remodel for my daughter that goes beyond magnificent in quality and appearance. He has also completed a 16' x 28' deck with railings and installed a hot tub for me, which exceeded my expectations. Due to his estimating accuracy, the project came in on time and within my budget. I feel that his method of construction would meet or surpass most national building codes. Eddie’s ideas and implementation abilities are gifts that compliment the quality of his work. Fair prices, honesty, and reliability are qualities that Eddie also possesses.
These completed projects are available for your review upon request and by appointment only. I can be contacted at 352-212-9471.
Sincerely,

Home had some dirt on the floor, so I did a little poking and discovered that termites had destroyed part of the framing of the home.

The damage went all the way up to the top plates of the wall, but most of it was concetrated on the corner studs of the wall.

I cut out all the damaged wood, then rebuilt the wall with new lumber. I used Presure Treated wood for the sill plate and bolted it into the concrete foundation. Where there was minimal damage, I attached additional lumber to the existing wall studs to give them added strength.

The old insulation was thrown away and new insulation was installed.

The new sheetrock was feathered and textured to match the existing walls.

2008-07-30T19:42:00.000-07:00

Fireplace Mantle that I created to accomodate the flat screen TV and also blend in with the existing mouldings in the house.

This is the original fireplace.

I mounted the Flatscreen TV to the wood that I attached to the brick. I then covered up the remaining brick with sheetrock so that it can be painted to match the existing walls. Then I created a framework for the mantel.

I covered the Hearth and Surround in Black Granite.

Then I cut and installed the mouldings and trim work.

It takes allot of sanding to make it look really nice when painted!!!!

For me, this is always the fun part. It's almost done and the change is very dramatic.

2008-07-20T13:44:00.000-07:00

This is the original stage for the Childrens Church. The childrens pastor for the main church hired me to rebuild his stage. He wanted to maximize the floor space to accomodate the increasing number of children that are attending his service. He also wanted to center his projection screen and make it as big as possible.

The original stage was built into a corner of the room. It was very deep, but not very wide. There was a wall halfway across it for storage that was very awkward. It also took up allot of space and looked like it was falling apart.

I built the stage out across the full width of the room and put a step in front of the full width. I then built two angled walls in either corner for storage and to make the entire stage look nice. In front of the side rooms, I built shelves for the speakers.

We had a crew of volunteers that helped out when they could. Everyone of them were able to lend a hand at doing something, so we took advantage of their skills. This was a huge savings in both time and money!!!!

After the stage was built, we took out the false ceiling and cleaned up the wiring and ductwork. This really made the room allot bigger. This is the Pastor spraying painting the ceiling flat black.

Here is the finished Childrens Church. Before, they were able to put 40 chairs out in a tight space. Now they have 50 chairs in place with room for another 50. The stage has more square footage, but takes up less room than before. It has more storage too!!!

2008-07-20T12:41:00.000-07:00

Very small master bathroom remodel that I did. The bottom half of the walls were paneling and the top half was heavy textured sheetrock. The home owner removed the sheetrock, paneling and wood vanity to save money.

I installed a new window, new sheetrock and tile as part of the remodel. The homowner did all the painting to save even more money. I then finished it off by installing everything.

The shower is very small and has a low ceiling. This is very typical for homes built during this time frame, and I installed insulation above that low ceilng.

The tile is from Home Depot, and a style they keep in stock. Working with in stock materials saves allot of money by speeding up the remodel and buying exactly the amount that you need. If we need more, it's a very simple task of just going to the store to pick it up.

I worked with the clients on colors and a pattern that they liked. The picture shows the pattern, and how it gives the apperance of greater height to the small space.

2008-07-04T07:41:00.000-07:00

This is the house before construction started.

A pier and beam foundation was used due to the limited access to the yard. The addition is 16ft x 16ft.

Standard framing with a hip roof that matched the clients home.

Framing and sheething is done.

Shingles are a perfect match to the house.

Windows and door are installed.

James Hardi siding and trim were used.

Exterior is complete.

Close up detail of soffits and moulding.

The client wanted a large window sill. It is 8 inches wide.

The outside of the house is now an inside wall of brick!!

"We started out with a piece of graph paper and a pencil. We sketched out a screened in porch. Then it became a porch with windows. Then it became a sunroom. We found Eddie and he helped us fill in the blank spots. He helped us decide on sliding windows which were 3 feet wide by 5 feet tall. We decided on a door with glass in it. We wanted to be able to see out as much as we could but keep the bugs out. He helped us decide on the material to use on the outside (Hardie board), what material to use on the inside and what to use on the floor. I got to choose the color. It’s Summer Sorbet.
We are very pleased with Eddie. He showed up when he said he would. He cleaned up the area as he went. He put up every thing when he left at the end of the day and was ready to start again the next morning. He did everything from the concrete foundation footing to the shingles and all of the finish work inside. We are very happy with our "sunroom." The cats especially like their new feline cattery. We are now just waiting for some cooler weather. The Hunter fan is great even in this weather. He put up with our questions. He never lost his cool when something didn’t work out. He just found a solution. His motto should be, "No Problem!"

Original fireplace. It had wood trim around the bricks, but no mantel. The home owner and I came up with a design that would incorporate shelves on either side of a traditional style mantel.

This is detail work with exact cuts for each individual piece of wood.

Part of the design was based on this mirror that the home owner
wanted to use above the mantel.

The finished fireplace mantel.

This is the finished bench that I built. Water was getting under the foundation and into the crawlspace, creating an area of standing water.

The stains show the path the water took to get under the house.

This very odd planter was along the home owner's patio. During heavy rains, water would get into the planter and work it's way through the bricks and down into the crawlspace.

Over the years of being wet, the morter failed, and allowed water to get through.

After digging out the dirt in the planter, I sealed off the mortor with silicone based sealer.

Then I covered the bricks and mortor with Drylock. It is a waterproof membrane designed for masonary applications. I covered the silicone seal and brought it down over the cement footings.

Then I filled in the hole with cement.

The house had another planter that wasn't causing any problems. It had raised brick around it that kept the water out. I did the same thing to finish off this repair by using bricks that are taller than the patio deck.

The home owner wanted a place to put potted plants that she could enjoy from her windows. I designed it to match the garden fence and arbor that I had already made for her.

2008-05-01T18:50:00.001-07:00

The original backyard had a fence that the homeowner wasn't happy with. She asked me to come up with something attractive
that would keep the dogs out of the flowers.

I suggested this to compliment her homes brickwork and style. She liked the fence and said that she wanted an arbor with a gate to keep the dogs out in the yard that fit in with the fence.

The completed Arbor with gate.

After the fence and arbor where done, she said she wanted a fence along the back of the house.

Completed fence along the back of the house.

2008-01-14T19:28:00.000-08:00

Bathroom Remodel that I did.

It has a brand new Whirlpool bathtub.

I removed the old bathtub.

I built the small wall to hide the toilet.

The wood in front of the tub matches the cabinets.

The panel on the right is removable.

Bathtub/shower walls were covered in broken tile.

The built in shelf is a custom design tha I created.

I tiled the counter top and backsplash.

I built the frame for the mirror to match the cabinets.

The mirror is a basic 3ft x 4ft one from Lowes.

I raised the outlets, rewired the lighting and moved the plumbing.

I installed new sheetrock on the walls, scraped the "popcorn" off

the ceiling, and finshed it all to match.

The client hired the cabinet maker to build the custom cabinets.

I matched the woodwork to tie it all together.

I replaced the door with one 4 inches wider.

Clients did all the painting and will do the touch up paint.

2007-11-12T08:43:00.000-08:00

Gazebo I built for a hot tub. Its 12ft by 12ft with cedar posts and James Hardi siding.

Drain lines are very important for a hot tub gazebo. Both to drain water splashed out of the hot tub, but also to drain the hot tub when cleaning it. I also ran the electrcal lines to where the front of the hot tub will be so there are no exposed wires. All the electrical is off it's own subpanel with GFCI circut breakers for added safety.

The posts support the headers that will support the roof. I used preasure treated lumber in all areas that will be exposed to the weather and that contact the concrete. The back wall is solid and will be home to the electrical sub panel, electrical outlets and a water spicket to fill the hot tub.

The roof and half walls are in place.

This is me while working on the roof. It's all custom work, so every piece needs to be measured and cut to fit.

For lighting and to control the ceiling fan, I ran the wires through the post and then created an opening to house the electrical box. This will give a very clean look to the switches and hide all the wiring.

The cedar posts are stained and the roof is shingled with raised shingles. Both the soffits and facia boards are James Hardi, which I painted dark brown. The header that supports the roof, and is made from Preasure Treated wood is painted green to match the cupola.

The cupola is unique in that I used glass block on the sides of it. Inside of it, I put in an outlet and plugged in a 30watt florecent night light. It uses the same amount of energy as a 4watt conventional night light, but is bright enough to light up the cupola in the evening!!!

The siding is a cement fiber board by James Hardi. It's used as lab siding on homes, then painted to finish it off. I found a stain that makes it look like real wood, then seal it with a sealer to protect it from fading. Even up close, it looks and feels like real wood, but sicne it is cement, it will never rot or be eaten by bugs.

This is a shelf that I made from a piece of cedar. I sanded it, shaped it and finised it to make it look like a piece of furniture. It's totally custom and no other will ever look exactly like it.

The step into the hot tub is framed in Preasure Treated wood on the bottom where it comes into contact with the concrete and will be wet from people getting out of the hot tub. The sides are finished in the same James Hardi siding that is stained to look like wood, but this time it's painted to match the hot tub. The top is made up of tile that I broke into small pieces.

2007-11-12T07:38:00.001-08:00

This is the original home with the pad poured for the addition and wrap around porch. The home will just about double in size from a small 3 bedroom, one bath, to a spacious 3 bedroom, two bathromm that will have a luxury master bath and a huge family room that's open to the kitchen.

This is the finished home with 1,920 sq ft of inside living area. The wrap around porch adds approximately another 4oo sq ft of area to enjoy the outdoors. Notice the porch swing at the corner. This was very important to the home owners, and a real nice way for them to relax. Above them is a small ceiling fan.

The roof has both a 3:12 and a 7:12 pitch with tons of storage in the attic.

The front porch has a nice entry, along with plenty of space to get out of the weather. Eventually the home owners plan to replace the ceiling lights with outdoor ceiling fans.

The framing had to take into consideration the original home and tying them together into one new home that will be impossible to tell the old from the new. This is what makes what I do so much fun!!!!

The windows and doors really made the home look amazing. From the octagon window in the attic, to the 6ft tall windows in the family room, it all ties together to create a very nice home.

I like to use headers above doors, windows and entryways bigger then code calls for. The added expense in material is minimal, but the long term advantages are priceless. This header is made from a pair of 2x12's with plywood sandwiched between them, with liquid nails and screws holding it together. It's strong enough for a garage door 16 foot opening, but here it's only a six foot span. I also bolt all the exterior walls to the foundation and in locations like this header, I bolt the walls to the foundation on either side. This garantees the strenght and integrity of the framing!!!!!

This is the family room. To span the 40ft length, I installed three glulam beams, and tied the roof trusses to those beams to create an open area with minimal expense that is extremly strong!!!!! Notice those headers over the windows.

I installed recessed lights in the kitchen. These create excellent lighting with a very clean, open look to the ceiling.

2007-11-12T07:01:00.001-08:00

All the original drain lines were in the wrong location for the new floorplan. Instead of trying to tie into the existing lines, it was faster, cheaper and better to run brand new lines. As the lines came outside of the house, they tied into a new main line that went to the existing septic tank. To make it easier to unplug future drain issues, I put in multiple cleanouts to allow access in both directions of the lines.

The new locations for the utilities were measured and marked on the slab foundation. I then cut through the slab and dug down for the drain lines. Then I tunneled under the slab to those locations and installed the brand new drain pipes. This picture shows the drain line for the new whirlpool tub in the Master Bath. Notice the S trap and how it ties into the drain line!!!

This is the Laundry Room drain and water supply box with vent line. Fitting all these pipes between the framing studs is just one of those things that I personally find interesting, and why I posted this picture. It's just cool!!!!

The new drain lines for the Master Bath's whirlpool tub, outside cleanout and toilet are in place and cement has been poured to seal off the openings in the slab.

The whirlpool tub is in place with a removable front panel to allow access to the components of the tub in case of repairs in the future. There is also a large display shelf built into the wall above the tub that will have glass shelves after it's painted. This was something that I suggested to the homeowners as a nice way to display towels and items she enjoys seeing while relaxing in the tub. She liked the idea, but had no idea how much she loved it until it all came together.

Octagon recess I built into the Master Bedroom. The trim was just painted when I took this picture, and they were still deciding on what fan to put there.

Master Bath Shower. Instead of a traditional tile for the floor, I suggested breaking up the same tile that they have for the bathroom floor and using the small pieces to create a mosiac type floor that will allow for the drain contours of the shower floor. This worked out really well and is a favorite feature of the homeowners. I also built in two recesses shelves to store soap and shampoo on either side of the shower valve handle.

2007-11-12T06:22:00.000-08:00

Kitchen and Dining room viewed from the very large family room. This room is 40ft long and 20 ft wide. The breakfast bar is almost 12ft long.

The walk in pantry is just off the back door. It's 4ft by ten feet with custom shelves that I created on three sides. There is a space on the back wall for a freezer. The shelves are at differnt heights to allow for various sized items to be stored on them.

This breakfast bar has some really nice brackets from a supplier in Dallas. They are not intended for this, but work really well to give create a very solid, heavy duty counter that looks extremly nice.

The kitchen is wide open to the family room with the breakfast bar being a key feature. The counters are 12inch by 12inch granite that I trimmed in oak to match the cabinets. This is a very good way to get a granite counter at a fraction of the cost.

The backsplash behind the stove should always have more detail and be something special. I worked with the client on tiles they liked, then created them a custom design. Notice how the center tiles seem to stand out in front of the other tiles.

The kitchen is almost finished in this picture. It shows the backsplash, cabinets and granit countertops off nicely. If you look above the cabinet over the stove, you can see how I wraped the exhaust vent with matching oak to make it blend in with the cabinets.
