Hi again everyone!!!

I wanted to give everyone an update, we have finished the interior trim on the St. Jude Dream Home. The next phase will be finish electrical, plumbing, HVAC and paint. The finishing touches will be being put in place over the next few weeks and the home will be complete shortly. If you haven't purchased your tickets yet, there's still time! Please stop in any LCNB bank branch, call Fischer Homes or contact me for more information. Tickets to win the home are $100 and the cost of the ticket goes directly to the St. Jude Children's Hospital.

Did you know this is my 4th. St. Jude Home? It is amazing how quickly time flies. Last years home raised $642,454!!! That is amazing! I'm proud to know that all of the money raised goes directly to the St. Jude Children's Hospital to help families with sick children that otherwise would have no other options. Would you like to help? Purchase a ticket and show your support. The worst that could happen is you have made a $100 difference in a sick child's life, you could also win a brand new home!!! Wouldn't that be awesome?

Please note that we support this program and all work performed by us is completely donated, we do not collect any money or make any profit whatsoever on this home.

Hi Everyone!

Sorry for the delay since my last post, I'll try to do better in the future.

I just want to let everyone know that this years St. Jude Dream Home has begun and is being hosted in the Bridgepoint community in Colerain by Fischer Homes and the St. Jude Children's Hospital. We will be donating our services again this year and we are super excited about being a part of this wonderful program! For those of you that are new to my site, Fischer Homes and St. Jude sponsor a dream home giveaway typically each year in which all of the materials and labor to build the home are donated. Ticket sales are a mere $100. All said and done, the home's proceeds, donated material and labor as well as the ticket sales are all donated to the St. Jude Children's Hospital for all of the children that need care. We raised $642,454 last year!!! Hopefully you will visit my website in the near future for pictures and updates as well as purchasing a ticket for the giveaway! You could win a brand new home (some requirements are necessary to be deemed the winner) all the while helping children in need!!! Let's all get excited and help out!

Thanks!!!

Hi everyone!!!

I hope everyone is well. I wanted to let everyone know that I am sponsoring a coat drive for the month of September. I've already had several donations for this event and I'd like to ask those of you that have any extra coats to donate them. I only ask that they be in relatively good shape and clean. If you have coats to donate, please go to my contact page and send me an email, I will give you the address to drop them off or make arrangements to have them picked up.

I'm really excited I hope that we can make this event a success and help keep someone warmer this winter!!!

Even if you cannot donate a coat, subscribe to my blogs because I will be sponsoring other events and perhaps you can help out next time. Also, subscribing will allow you to get the latest tips and tricks from me, right in your inbox!

Thanks again and I hope to see all of you soon...coats or not!!!

This is the first installment of our new Tip of the Month! I hope to provide a new tip or trick every month for our DIY'ers out there.
Did you know that closing your blinds mid-day will not only keep your home cooler but also save energy? Closing your blinds by mid-day will reduce wear and tear on your air conditioning unit because the house will stay cooler through the warmest hours of the day, eliminating the need for your unit to work harder. Not only will your wallet thank you, your air conditioner will too! Also, most ceiling fans have a summer and winter switch. Is yours in the correct position?

This is one of our latest projects. This screened in porch and deck area is 18' X 19'-8" with 2 ceiling fans and a coffered ceiling. (This photo is pre-paint).

This is the ceiling. It is a 3 stage crown with T & G cedar planks.

Check back, we will be adding more photos soon!!!

Here is a treated lumber deck we just finished in Middletown, Ohio. The lumber came from McCabe Lumber in Loveland, Ohio.

The treated lumber is ProWood, which is the latest in treated technology. As with other pressure-treated lumber products, the preservative used to treat ProWood® Micro CA contains copper and quaternary compounds that protect against termite attack and decay. But with ProWood Micro CA, the copper is micronized to provide revolutionary new benefits: less corrosive and compatible with aluminum. Unlike other copper-based wood preservatives, the preservative in ProWood Micro products does not use solvents to dissolve the copper in solution. Instead, it uses micronizing technology (patent pending) to grind copper particles so small they can penetrate into the wood in solid form.

More Natural Look
ProWood Micro CA has a lighter, more natural wood appearance when compared to other types of copper-based treated products.

Stays Looking Good, Longer
After one year of outdoor exposure, ProWood Micro CA has an even more natural look than cedar or redwood.

The deck season is coming to an end. Contact us today to get your project started.

The St. Jude Dream Home was a success! We raised over $640,000. I want to thank everyone that participated and everyone that bought a ticket. I hope to see all of you on the next one!!!
