These are photos of my finished kitchen. The kitchen was built where a washer dryer previously existed. I was working on it for several months while still working full time building on Oak street before leaving on my Trans Canada bike ride. Absolutley everything was done completly by me. Custom built cabinets out of Birch and Fir plywood, custom built door fronts salvaged from very old growth douglas fir stair treds. All finishing I did with semi gloss lacquer using brush or roller. Custom built counter top of Birch plywood with a formica top with exposed plys as the edge. All tiling (floor and backsplash) was my work including drywall. All plumbing and electrical was done by me with the help of my boss Ciril. All in all Im very happy with the way it turned out. A well functioning kitchen built in a tiny space and still left room for a stacking washer dryer unit to the left of the stove.




This is the last house that I've worked on on Oak Street. I spent 13 months full time working on it doing a massive portion of all finishing carpentry(interior/exterior)stairs, windows, baseboard, kitchens, bathrooms, outside trim and railings, rain screen, bathroom and kitchen tiling, landscaping, fences and with other help stucco wire, soffets, painting, ducting, insulation, retaining walls and so much else that I cant bother to think of right now.
