A small house, 2000 sq ft, that I designed in Fairhope, Alabama, on Mobile Bay is in it's final stages of finish. Had a great client, an attorney, fine contractor and exceptionally talented finish carpenter/cabinetmaker who can make about anything and do it beautifully.

I went out to his shop recently to discuss some stained glass windows he is making ans discovered he bought and rebuilt motorcycles as a hobby....

And what he does for a living, I designed the kitchen, Dan did all the wooden cabinets, trimmed the room , made the room doors....the stainless steel cabinets were made by a restaurant supply firm:

The walls in the entire house are 1X clear T&G cypress and the stairs are heart pine:

Twin newel post at the top of the stairs:

Stainless hangers to hold the rail:

Needless to say the recession has ended most of this level work, my work down about 60-70% . Thank goodness I am retired!
