04 / Half finished on purpose

House Projects

Drywall dust, borrowed tools, and learning a trade one mistake at a time.

A room mid renovation with exposed framing and tools on the floor

There is always a room torn open. I do the work myself, badly at first, then less badly. Framing, tile, trim, a subfloor I will not discuss.

Renovation teaches the same lesson as shipping software: the demo is easy, the finish work is where the time goes, and hiding a bad measurement never works for long.

Photos here are documentation, not before and after marketing. Some of these are still open.
