The Mermaid House really came together in March. It’s safe to say that 34th Place is rapidly transforming from “job-site” to “home”! Outside, we trenched the front yard for irrigation and planted two Brazilian Pepper Trees – which will provide great shade as they grow in.  Pavers went down for both the front and back […]

February started out a bit messy, but sometimes you’ve got to get a little dirty to get the job done right! Outside, trenching for irrigation was no easy task, but it was an essential step toward the installation of the new block wall that will line our backyard. Once complete, the wall will be painted Greek […]

The New Year is looking good for our project on 34th Place, with some great work outside really bringing this property to life. The exterior is freshly painted and looks quite striking if we do say so ourselves. Just look at the FRESH face on this gorgeous house!  Our crew worked hard this month on […]

We finished out our year at the “Mermaid House” with some amazing updates! Our cabinets have arrived, and now we feel like kids waiting to open Christmas gifts! We cannot wait to see them installed – they are going to look gorgeous! The interior of the home is shaping up to be a real knock-out. […]

Here at Craft, we have so many things to be thankful for, and we’d like to take some time this month to recognize not just our amazing projects, but the people who truly make it all possible…OUR CREW! We feel enormous gratitude for our amazing and hard-working team, without whom none of this would be […]

October was certainly an action-packed month, with milestones occurring every week!  We started October by installing white insulation and wire to the exterior of the house in preparation for the stucco.  The following week, our AMAZING team of professionals was able to install interior spray insulation, do electrical work AND begin the pool excavation all […]

Our secret to building high-quality homes rests in our attention to all the “little” details… Our hardworking crews completed the plumbing rough in, electrical, HVAC, and windows.  We especially love the HUGE slider!  The fireplace was also installed, along with framing for the adjacent bench and shelving. A “sizzle feature” we are adding to this […]

August was such an important month for this project. After patiently waiting out July for our framers to be available, we were ecstatic when our lumber delivery arrived! There really is nothing like a stack of lumber and a fresh concrete pour…It may seem funny how something so simple can be so very exciting, but […]

July didn’t exactly go as planned for 34th Place, but we didn’t let that stop us from making progress! A delay in availability for our framing crew threw us a curve ball, but we pivoted, turning our focus to another important piece of this project – POOL PLANNING! We worked with our pool designer to […]

June hosted one of our favorite days for every new build…CONCRETE DAY! It’s always exciting to see the footprint of the house laid out, and to begin imagining the final product. Our concrete crew worked hard and, as always, did an amazing job!  Check out our crew hard at work… In the background, we’ve finalized our appliance […]
