Well over Labor Day weekend I did what any person who was finishing a home would do, I ignored the beautiful weather and worked my tail off. Well 3 days later the bathroom is tiled, I still have morter on my hands and my dad is calling me pigpen (the character from Charlie Brown) from my amazing ability to get whatever I'm doing all over myself and everything else. I got some help from Tony on Saturday but by the time we figured out all of the various locations to start the tile we only got two walls done. That left me to finish the floor and other walls, along with the various shelves and such I'm including, because I've been informed that I can't do anything the easy way. I had help from my dad, mom, my brother, Doug, and Chris. Well the tile's all laid I was hoping to get it grouted this past weekend but that wasn't in the cards. The tiles don't photograph well, the best color shot is the last one that gives the most accurate depiction. The holes in the wall will be fitted with birch boxes to be used as shelves.
This blog was started to document our remodel of a Mid Century Modern home in Kansas City built by Don Drummond. You will also find information on my furniture design/build and other side projects.
I am a third generation home builder in the Kansas City area. I grew up working for my Fathers construction company and I graduated w/ an Architecture degree from Kansas State University in 2005. I hope to eventually combine my two passions into a Design Build Company. I am currently working for myself at Studio Build doing projects in the Kansas City area. I'm currently looking for design/build work in the area and am tackling several local projects. Please contact me if you would like to discuss a project.

The following links are ones that I found throughout my remodel process. I purchased things from many of the sites, I'm not affiliated with any of them though I could be if for some reason they want to send me some free stuff. Hopefully these help some of you in your own adventures.
