Before and After images, after is on the bottom

Sliding doors

Door tracks, rollers, and hardware were salvaged from an old railway car that is falling down

Here are a couple of the workspaces, they are all different, some bigger, some smaller, some with more desk space, etc.

Sliding barn/ industrial door. Track reclaimed from a barn in kansas while door was made from reclaimed oak flooring, industrial type handle, and a garage door spring

Mens bathroom vanity made from barnwood cabinet with a concrete top that was I made then acid stained and finished with concrete sealer.

womens bathroom vanity made from antique wash stand with a granite top. I made mirror from reclaimed oak flooring and an amazing piece of wood trim with a flower and a great patina salvaged from a house that was torn down in Kansas.

Kitchen cabinets reclaimed from a kitchen being remodeled. My mother and I worked doing a faux wood grain painting technique and sanded the edges before applying black glaze in the recesses and finished with satin lacquer. The appliances are not reclaimed.... But they are ADA.

made from two old metal pallets and reclaimed oak tongue and groove flooring.

this was the real find, antique Nutting factory cart.

Acid stained concrete floors

Once the floors were stained and sealed, the great organization took place, I hung some peg boards to help with the clutter

hung upper cabinets. All cabinets will be dark like the uppers. There will be black appliances.

Built trim work on upper cabinets to tie the uppers together.

finished laying all the gym floor.

gym floor in front

here is what bryce and I finished today. we built this door on and put it on barn door tracks. I still need to put another track up over the door. Really this is just for effect, won't be a used as a door, but it will work when I am done with it.

Gym floor to be refinished later

gym floor other direction

Finished laying oak flooring in the entry way to the 2 lofts, finished all the stairs as well, and insulated the walls and ceiling.

I reclaimed some old wood from the basement and used it to cover the ceiling going up the stairs to the lofts

Here is looking down to the street from the stairs to the Lofts. Notice the brick work on the upper left and side. I had to put on my Mason hat to make the wall fire rated, for some reason the brick didn't go all the way up to the rafters. All lights I will use in this place will be salvaged from other buildings, I painted these a nice vintage industrial green.

looking up the finished stairs

Finished slab, I spend most of yesterday an all of today cutting stress joints, they are in a grided patern. So they will look like large tiles and I will acid stain it and seal it with a glossy finish to give it a beautiful look.

Poured 11 yards of concrete, in an 1100 sq ft room. We had 4 laborers running wheel barrow at a time though the 36 inch door (I was a laborer), Then I had 3 finishers to make it level and pretty. You can see 2 finishers crawling the floor in the back corner.

Richard and I hauled in about 9.5 tons of gravel into this room with wheel barrows through the door.

leveled floor then layed gravel, then layed rebar, don't have a photo of rebar.

Patching the floors in the lofts, The hardwood floors upstairs had gaps in them where the walls used to be, rather than pulling up all of the floor I decided to patch it so you could see where the walls used to be. I think it will have character and history and once they are sanded and refinished they will look great.

patched old stairway with pine. should match one sanded and stained. When I got the building there was basically a hole in the floor here.

level floors, this area is the entrance from the street to the two lofts, the floor was about 3.5 inches from side to side off level, so we built up shims where need be and put down more subfloor.

This is looking the other direction to the entrances to the apartments, as you can see I have started laying some old oak flooring.
