Hello everyone,
Just joined up as part of looking for info about soom needed repairs to my home in Grafton, WI (north of Milw). Have been looking around for about an hour at all the info available and forgot why I was here. That's a good sign.
I do custom woodsmithing in and around the area ranging from finish work to cabinetry to "tailored" work stations to personalized commercial and residential environments.
I am interested in the re-use/re-purposing of materials whenever possible and in environmentally appropriate design and construction.
I learned what I know from my father and grandfather and from fixing my own and other's mistakes. Lots of my own, but less as I get older. I never had formal education in this, so questions I will have, or answers I might offer, will sometimes sound like those of a tourist. I'll try to learn the "language" as I go along.
My experience as a "builder" comes mostly from smacking my fingers doing plenty of rehabbing for rental and flip properties. I am weak in the theory of building construction and will be asking for help in that area.
I am often available to trade labor for labor, and labor for learning.
3 Dogs is the business name, and a tribute my 3 best friends, dogs all.
I look forward to getting to know y'all, and learning a lot, as well.
Jonathan
