Barn Door in the Bathroom

Sliding Barn Door

Wanted to add a little country charm to this Jack 'n Jill Bathroom. Also, there was not room to swing a door in the tight space. So we solved the problem with this.

Rough sawn wood door with steel barn door track. It even latches for privacy.

Leaning Deck

Ran into an interesting challenge the other day.

The second story of this deck is leaning a bit to the right. Everybody (even me) is a little worried it might tumble to the ground. 

Luckily at Hampton Brother Builders, we can fix anything.... as long as it's made of mostly wood..... and is attached to your house.

We got some straps and some boards and some bolts and we put everything right. 

A quick shout out to my Scout Master. When we put a lot of pressure on a strap or rope, it is important to use real knots. Real knots hold under great pressure and undo easily when you are done. A tangled mess of a knot will usually hold, but you have to cut it after you're done.

And when we're done... everything is plumb, straight, and square again. We even hid the braces in the handrail, so they didn't obstruct the view. 

Built-Ins

Built-Ins are great.

Built in bookshelves for your library.... 

Or a built in bench for your mudroom. Add some lockers or whatever you need to keep your kids stuff contained. 

Heber Cabin After Photos

I posted about a cabin in Heber about a year ago. Well I just stopped by to look and it looks great!

Decks Decks Decks!

It's almost Spring. It's time to bust out the old BBQ. Let's get outside. Here's some ideas for your back yard.

I understand that this is a front porch. But the handrail style would look great on the right deck.
Built from redwood or composite, it would be great for your deck.

Why not add some built-in benches on your deck. This one is redwood, and it's super nice.

Custom built back door. It works to spruce up any back porch. We can build anything.

Metal balusters with redwood rails. It's a great option and it's the most cost effective of all the handrails.

 If you already have a deck or patio, how about a pergola? They make a great shady spot in the summer.

Or go all out. This is a deck that covers the deck below. The upper deck is rubber membrane so the lower deck is sheltered from rain and snow. Very nice.

Maybe you want a tub on your deck or patio... Spring fever can do crazy things.

Cabin in Heber

Here are the before pictures on a cabin project we're doing in Heber. It's a fun challenge.

Her's how one side looks after we re-did the siding. It's going to turn out nice.
Watch out for more pics to come.

Staircase in Draper

Here are some pics from a custom handrail project we did in Draper.

Handrail is one of my favorite things to do. We built the newel posts from scratch; that gives me an opportunity to put them in exactly how I want them, and it saves everyone a bunch of money.
