Garden Shed Project

Just a few pictures showing a small garden shed construction project we completed this last summer, for a homeowner in Fairfax Virginia. We also built a small platform deck as part of the deal.

This shed featured typical 2x4 framing for the walls and roof system, 2x8 pressure treated framing for the floor system, PVC board for all the cornice/trim, vinyl siding and windows... all matching the existing home.

Custom made PVC door with metal edgings

We also built a small ramp from PT materials

Built-In with TV space and wine storage

This posts features a project we finished in the summer of 2010. It consists of a wall to wall built-in that has space for just about everything.

It has closed storage base cabinetry, space for a wine cooler refrigerator and a removable diamond bin for wine bottle storage. The uppers have narrow depth end sections with adjustable shelves, stepped out center cabinetry with a wide center unit that accomodates a large flat screen television.

This built-in project is what we would call a combination bookcase, entertainment center, wine cellar.

The built-in cabinetry is constructed of a 3/4" thick birch vernier plywood for the casework, poplar wood for all the faceframes, valences and stiles. Square raised panel inset doors with concealed euro style hinges on the base units. The cabinetry was topped off with a medium sized crown molding that we also ran through-out the entire family room.

Ceiling Beams

Here we feature some ceiling beams for a family room with a cathedral ceiling. We had previously fabricated and installed some built-in cabinetry for this homeowner, and he took our advice and added these beams that were designed to match the built-in bookcases.

The ceiling beams are constructed from 1x6 pine material, with beaded moulding accents along the edges. Then each beam is trimed with a medium sized crown moulding.
