No Job Too Odd!
Junction Home Services began in 2003 as Strange Renovations; a name derived from a desire I had to take on unusual projects. In reality, the jobs I embarked upon were not all that out of the ordinary, but each provided insight into the craft, complexity and life cycle of a building project.
I learned that I have different responsibilities when I am the initiator of a project than when I am called in to address another's work. I also learned that doing my best work gives my customers real value that will save them time and money down the road.
My career as a carpenter began in 1989 when I moved into a one-room schoolhouse in Roxana, Delaware. The building was 106 years old at the time and in need of much attention. Slowly I became more and more involved with carpentry until eventually I began to earn my living working with wood. I still live in the house today.
The name Junction was chosen in 2008. I selected it because each home stands upon a junction of its past and future. This is where we live our lives and where the work gets done.

sexy and spooky too.
@ Rocketts
Agreed, and also stately and stodgy at times.
@ Phannie,
It slipped my mind that you lived in Athens. Is there a water tower in any of those early REM videos? It seems I remember one; it might even been made out of wood?
Hardware stores in cities are some of the coolest. The stores themselves are often old and interesting and most of what they offer has no hard and fast shelf life so older products are sold right alongside the new. I don’t remember hearing before that Bruce was an inventor. This conjures romantic imagery of an apartment workshop with 52 layers of paint. I am sure I would like Bruce.
On a side note seeing Eddie Izzard on “The Riches” was fun. I thought it was an interesting choice to make his youngest in the show inclined to cross dressing. I can still hear you laughing when you introduced me to him through his comedy routine.

@ Phannie,
My address is oddjobs@mchsi.com. I would really love to see pictures. And I look forward to spotlighting Bruce's invention on this here blog once it has come to fruition and has been made available to the world.
