I had been given the name of a carpenter when I was trying to find someone who could frame the garage. I was told he was young, hungry and very good. When I found his business card pinned to the bulletin board at the pizza joint we frequent, I felt it was meant to be, so called him up to see about building us some stairs up to the door of the house. The deal was, he could build whatever struck his fancy, so long as it was in keeping with the house. He came back to us with a couple of sketches of his ideas and once we selected one, he set to work. We decided to use pressure treated wood, which is kind of a compromise, as I have been trying to keep it eco-friendly, but we don't have an unlimited budget so will paint or stain it come the spring when the rest of the exterior painting gets done.
Here is what he came up with and we love it. The attention to detail in outstanding. The skilled young mans name is Ben Elliott.
