What's new at Concord Carpenter?

 
Hi Guys,
 
There are a couple of great reviews on my site AConcordCarpenter.  check them out if you get the chance!
 
Just finished a complete reorganization of my tool trailer using the Bosch Click and Go L-Boxx storage boxes. 
 
 
 
 
Call it my "Tool Trailer Make Over"  or "Pimping My Trailer."  Either way it's a dramatic improvement.  I used a variety of Bosch tool boxes and special foam inserts to customize and protect my tools and accessories.
 
 
The click and Go System is a durable, stackable tool storage solution that is designed to increase storage efficiency and transportation to and from the jobsite. 
 
According to Bosch research, contractors spend up to 33% of their time doing non-productive activities such as; driving, picking up materials, unplanned demands, interruptions and wait for it...... Looking For Tools!

Let's face it - organization is the key to being productive and having a customizable storage system can icrease your organization and lesson that time spent looking for tools.
 
Closet to Desk Conversion
 
Today I finished, well almost finished, converting two closets into desk - computer stations for a cleint.

Old Yankees and the Shakers had something in common.  They always made the most  available space of alcoves and niches.
 
 
 
 
Another way to deal with unusal space in an interesting way is to install window seats.  a window seat is an attractive way to decorate  alcoves or add useful and attractive detail to a deep dog house dormer. 
 
 
 
 

What's Important when Installing Deck Footings

installing deck footings

A "footing" helps support the deck by spreading out the loads created by each post over a wider area. A wider base also helps prevent frost heave from lifting the deck.

Footings for porches are important in supporting and maintaining the integrity of the structure above. If the footings settle or heave then the building or deck does the same.
