Attention to Detail

We have the most amazing carpenter working for us. John is a gem. Today he was replacing the inappropriate ranch moulding around the kitchen windows.

Old ranch moulding

He replaced it with the same moulding that is original to the house. It is a 4" flat board with a narrow band added on top at the outside edges. He also duplicated the wide board that is between the windows in the rest of the house.

Now these windows look as if they belong to the house.


Where the back door casing and the window casing butted into each other, he put the band on the joint and then mitered it into the horizontal one at the top. It took extra time but it looks great.

It's the little things that count.
