This is what happens when your new truck tires resemble a bunch of mouse ears, and you leave your truck unattended in the Stevan Buren Roofing, Windows, & Flooring parking lot. Matt’s a good sport.
Mouse Ears
Two years on Nolan River!
May 14th, 2016, was a Saturday. Renovation of our new location had been going strong for months, and finally the interior was complete (enough to do business, anyway). Phones and Internet service would be transferring from the old office to the new one on Monday, so… AT LAST IT WAS…
Job Highlight: Herringbone tile floor
I was so excited when I saw these pics! This floor is absolutely stunning, and is an illustration of a Friday Five blog I did a while ago. Rectangle tiles use the same amount of mastic and grout, no matter the pattern in which they’re installed. There are lots of…

Several personas–AND does an experiment with fire–to illustrate the fundamental differences between blown (or loose-fill) fiberglass and cellulose insulation. Stacey references a similar experiment…

Video: Gettin’ Crafty Patience Kindness Goodness
Moxie Mae once again uses up some scraps from a flooring job to make two cute home decor wall hangings. One features three fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) as a reminder. The other is a place for single socks to hang out until they find their mate! In the…
Inspiration: Pool House
Still one of my favorite projects, even after several years working here. We restored and revamped a pool house, resulting in a magazine-worthy structure! Hand-crafted barn doors are, in my opinion, the best part!
