This is exactly what I have been trying to do with my Practical Restoration
Report series, workshops and training services over the past 15 years --
bring my hands-on

report helps with maintenance theory and practical organization; and the
other titles provide specific details on methods, materials, techniques,
etc., for windows, exterior woodwork, columns, gutters, etc. Learn more at

by hammer and hand great works do stand
by pen and thought best words are wrought
