Here's some random recent.
Small house kitchen- before, during, after
(Not quite after- glass tile backsplash not installed yet)
Recent new house
This was a tear-down and build new. After the tear-down, no dumpster for entire project. Sheetrockers hauled their own scrap, free bin for wood scrap- firewood and reuse, recycle, and a few van loads to dump.
Just finishing this one- after pic later
My fixer-upper
Fence boards reused from a garage that I took down.
Fish pond from cut-down water tank.

The following is a compilation of 30 years of work on our place in Santa Cruz. We sold the property 4 years ago when we moved to New Zealand, but the memories are still vivid and wonderful. Many many friends worked with us over the years: Hennek, Haan, Bard brothers, Harper, Tom Carter, Rick Barker, Russ the McClinsky McLean, Joe Faint, Bobbo Locke..........................
Have had a difficult time loading these photos so I added the old promo brochure that we put together-LOL with the copy!
All the structures are built in the traditional pole and beam style of construction.

It has been awhile since we built "shelter" except in volunteer housing projects. Even now in a down economy, we build tend to build house size art projects. Times have changed from living NPS housing and a VW van.
Yikes - this attempt is my first time trying to do photos on Super Topo - hope it works.

This is what I'm rebuilding
This motor grenaded on me Saturday at about 90 mph in turn two at Willow Springs. I thought I threw a chain but when I pulled off course I realized it was a bit more.

Not what, but the house I just started will be the first SCIP system home built in Denver. Structural Concrete Insulated Panel,
250 mile wind load, 8.3 earthquake and R40.
The cost came in less than stick framing, 5/8 drywall and stucco exterior.
Also installing the first Amasond geo exchange system in the US,,, Fun times

There was a 6.6 quake reported near Denver in 1882 so you should be good...

Earthquake for me is not such a big deal; unless we have a good shake then most of Denver will drop. R value is the big deal the rest is a bonus including the cost savings paid for the Geo exchange system.
Figure 50 to 70% reduction in heating cost. Electricity and oil are so cheap right?
