Our House in Idaho
I occasionally do handyman work along with other physical products. If you'd like to commission a custom build, I can help you with that.

We got tired of the recirculating microwave stove hood, so we added a vent to the outdoors.
The exterior vent hood. Exiting under the eaves means you don't have to worry about it getting blocked with snow.
Laundry chute under the kitchen sink. The lining is made from a simple sheet of 16" wide galvanized steel designed for ducting.
Livingroom Shelves made from closet doors. The Laser Engraving page has two more shelf projects, if you're interested in that.
I made this forward-descent offset-step ladder for accessing the loft and mezanine inside the detatched office. Here it is mounted for mezanine access, against the exterior wall.
Closeup of the ladder in the mezanine access position. The tube keeps the ladder from twisting as you climb.
Here are the Ladder Supports on the Exterior Wall. The upper blocks are for mezanine access (above) and the lower blocks are for storage (below).
The forward-descent offset-step ladder stowed out of the way. Space is very limited in the office, so it was important that the design could be easily stowed off the ground.
Closeup of the bottom of the stowed ladder. The "foot" of the ladder which helps prevent it twisting in use also rests on the supports while stowed.
Ladder to the Loft. Same mounting style as above, but facing the other way.

Cube Lamp Overview. Made from solid steel and off-the-shelf square recessed residential LED lights, this stylish lamp really does light up the room. Currently hung from a scavanged tire snow chain.
Cube Lamp Innerview. The current setup is with three LED panels hardwired in paralel, but there is no reason you couldn't put in more, or add an Arduino controller to do interesting stuff with the intensity, or whatever.
Cube Lamp Underview. This is what the cube lamp looks like from directly underneath. It's quite bright!
Projector Mount. I actually made this for the Keyser house, but here it is installed at Meadow. Plywood, nylon straps, and drywall screws.
Projector Screen Mount. I actually made this for the Keyser house, but here it is installed at Meadow. Plywood, nylon straps, and drywall screws. These are painted white, but maybe I should use white screws as well?
A small white side gate. You can see the roof over it on the Laser Engraving page.
There wasn't any place to stack firewood, so I put this up with some left-over roof shingles.
The Underside of the Patio Wood Shed, or roof? The beam was on discount at the local lumber yard because of the wild twist, but it didn't do any harm in this case.
We needed more room for storing firewood, so I added this small shed roof to the detached office.
We needed even more room to store lumber, so I welded these racks to the side car cover.
