One of our projects was selected to be in a Newburyport Kitchen Tour. The project involved a restoration of a 1930s bungalow damaged from a fire plus an addition that included the kitchen, family room and master suite. The kitchen/family room carries out the arts and craft detailing of the original house.

Michael has been volunteering some construction time for a Montessori Charter School in Newburyport. The school is building a traditional timber frame pavilion that will be used and enjoyed by the teachers and students. Joinery on timbers used were cut by the middle school students.
