Built in the late 80s, Monroe Washington.

This sunburst is quite detailed. Sorry, no upclose photos. There are two dentils, one on the belly board. The ends are corbelled. The sun is made of bandsaw art cedar and features the sun rising over the mountains.

This home is at the long end of a series of dead end roads. At the time, there were less than six houses past this one. No car travel. The sunburst took two days to install and by the time I was finished, there was non-stop car travel through the cul-de-sac, getting a glimpse of the latest art.

Built in Bothell, Washington, in the 90s. If it has a gable - it gets a sunburst!

Another Bothell home in the 90s.

Early 80s, Everett Washington. Built next door to President Nixon's brother.

This was our office in the late 80s. Snohomish, Washington. A software company bought it from our partnership in the 90s.

A porch for the Johnsons in Moses Lake. Approx 1998. Gable includes belly with dentil below and sunburst above. All cedar.

Early 80s five-plex in Marysville, Washington. We demo'd a house that was on the property. I still have the main stair newell post sitting in my garage.

A friend of mine purchased it when it was about ten years old. After he poured through the attic and crawl space, he told me it was the most well-built apartment building he had ever seen or purchased. We always build quality - even if the building will be for rent.

A six unit apartment in Monroe, Washington.

This is a set of two duplexes built in the late 90s, Monroe, Washington. The local head of the graphics artists union bought them because they had such unique sunbursts in the gables.

This was a custom home for the Peppins in Kirkland, Washington, circa mid 90s. The entry jut-out had a cedar wall with sunburst gable.

The interested part of this property is that it was the land my banker grew up on. Her grandfather owned the surrounding property. When we built this house, we tore down the tiny (300 sf) home her grandfather grew up in.

In the late 90s, it took 2 years to get a demolition permit but only three months to get a remodel permit.

So we raised the home two feet, moved it back eight feet, using our own equipment. Then we stuffed a basement under it and added on to the rear.

It cost a little more than starting from scratch but it beat a two-year wait.

Here is what it looked like before paint. The owner was very pleased.

Here is a fancy garage addition for my friend, Oddmund Langsholt, in Monroe, Washington. Circa late 90s.

Built on the Skykomish River, east of Goldbar, Washington. Late 90s.

Built in Lynnwood, Washington, late 80s. This home is interesting, in that, it was built in a ravine. Because of this revine, it took two years to get the building permit. We were not allowed to fill the ravine, so we brought the yard up to it with rockeries.

What made this pointless was that the entire area on all sides had been improved with modern developments. These improvements redirected all the surface drainwater and this ravine lay useless. Could the bureaucrats understand this? Don't bet on it.

A garage with log siding to match the log house. Carlin Bay, east side of Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Approx 2004.
