This fence showcases both my carpentry skills and metalworking abilities. I was responsible for cutting and attaching the finish wood to the treated posts. Additionally, I was tasked with welding brackets to square steel tubing spanning between posts to which the wire mesh was then tack-welded. Finally, I was asked to fabricate the fence gates, which involved welding hinges & angle steel brackets to a square tube frame and then affixing the wood & hardware.

I built this dry sauna bench using cedar framing and cedar tongue & groove to finish it. The bottom plate of the framing had to be floated so as to not penetrate through and damage the tile floor.

For this project, I was tasked with welding knife plates to the helical piers protruding from the ground. It was from these welded bases that another subcontractor and I framed this big timber pergola.

For the project involving the first four images (1-4), I was initially hired to repair all the drywall issues in the kitchen/living room after insulating and painting. Though, due to the timeline, I was also asked to finish the flooring in the bedrooms. So, while I did not install the flooring in the kitchen, I did install the flooring in the three bedrooms as the original flooring subcontractor’s schedule would not later allow him to finish the work. I included the first image so as to give a better idea of what the floor looks like considering the homeowners had covered the bedrooms with area rugs before I could take photos with completed trim.

I included a repeat image (5) of the bathroom remodel from a previous page. Just a reminder that I stitched in new flooring underneath the vanity where there was only subfloor before and then refinished it to create a seamless look.

Finally, I helped with finishing the hardwood floors of the townhomes displayed in the final image (6), but I don’t seem to have taken photos of the interior. I still wanted to show the homes, though, as they’re beautiful and give a view of the second story balcony decks I built with the Brome crew on this one.

I’ve done plenty of sheetrock and mudding, but most of the time it doesn’t make for good photos. You know, drywall is often lackluster, but very necessary (a lot of the time at least).

In the first image (1), there was a giant hole in the ceiling of the bump-out from where I removed soggy sheetrock after an improperly built second-story deck caused water damage. The previous builder did not float the framing and used screws that were too long to attach the decking. As a result, water slowly damaged the affected area through perforations in the underlayment. (The homeowner wanted to save money, so that’s why you see some of my mudding job as they hadn’t yet painted the lid.)

The next four images (2-5) showcase a cabin where another subcontractor and I hung, mudded seams, and texturized all the drywall. The place was still a mess when I took photos, so these are the only images I’ve included that cropped the clutter out. The fifth image (5) simply shows what the outside of the augmented A-frame cabin looks like. I happened to do a small amount of the siding and landscaping (unfortunately the fire pit is out of the picture), but I still wanted to display the sharp work the local Missoula-based Brome crew did as a whole on that one.

Finally, a repeat picture in the final image (6) is displayed where I did damage control on the drywall.
