Biggest accomplishment...New house/cabinets...

Well this is a new house my dad and i built for my aunt and uncle. I built the entertainment center/ curio centers with out any sort of plans or pictures. Just a vision i had in my mind. Im pretty proud of it for being 19 years old and having it turn out like it did. Here are some pictures and a bunch more of various cabinets that i have build since i was 16. I have to give all the credit to my dad for teaching me alot of what i know today.

They havnt decided what to put on the shelves and havnt hung the picture yet...

There are more pictures in my gallery...I forgot to mention that this house is a fully Fold-Form house...Meaning from the basement up to the rafters all the walls are concrete walls with the foam on both sides. It is amazing how quiet and warm this house stays. It has a 4 car garage...the one stall goes 2 deep for them to park the boat and truck in together. It also has a garage under the back garage as well. Its a 1700 sq. feet house on the main floor with 4 bathrooms.

Justin.... That is absolutely beautiful. If you didnt tell me you built them, I would swear they came out of one of those high priced, fancy furniture stores. Your a lucky guy to have your dad teach you all that. But no matter how much you are taught, it still takes a special talent to comprehend it all and build the way you do.You Rock man..now get out here to Jersey and build me a wall unit for my 50"

...I'm waiting...

I like it. It's very simple but beautiful.

Is the corner curio cabinet common in your area? I have never seen one like that around here and I like it. Either way good job.

1700sq ft, rather small seeming for all of these new fancy smancy houses going up. But VERY pretty inside,
Its not the largest house but there are only 4 people...2 kids of ages 10 and 13. This house has alot of neat "gadgets" in it. I just really like the fact how its another all concrete house. Very efficient.

Nice mill work.
19 years old and you are already building quality. if you stay in the trades you will do very well.
