   Thought I would post some of my work on the forum so you all get an idea of the work I do. These are a few inlayed floors I've restored in Cincinnati. Some are new floors that I built using traditional materials and methods.

    Wish you could have met Sonny Hil. He knew all the tricks of the trade and was one of the finest plaster men in the area.  I really enjoyed working with him over the years.  |

 Vivian, I'm sure I would have loved to meet him! I've meet many old timers who have taught me well. I personally have about 25 years of experience in Historic Preservation. I've worked on many National Historic buildings and homes over the years. I'm a consultant for the Army Corps of Engineers when they need some advice on historic buildings along with several Architects and Developers whom I've also done Consulting work for. I've been around....

   By the way, I absolutely love what I do! If someone tells you, "no one does that anymore" then just call me...

Considering the best and fixing homes with correct fixtures for windows and doors which can protect from hazardous view point like survey says many websites provides with highly acceptable and home improvement techniques and ideas.
