You can see a sample of my work below

Company logo consisting of a circle with 4 quadrants with simple sketched images. From top left moving clockwise the quadrants contain: 1- a shed 2- a simple wooden stool with a cup of tea and piece of cake on top of it and a pile of books next to it. The books have a ball or yarn with two knitting needles protruding from the top. 3- a picket fence consisting of a solid top rail and then bays consisting of 3 scalloped shorter pickets between single longer pickets that reach all the way to the top rail 4- a butler style kitchen sink with built in cupboards below and to either side. Above the circle is the company title "Twice Measured by Tom". Below the circle it says "Est. 2024"

A picket fence and side gate for a front garden. Pickets are deep and rebated so that the fence rails sit within the depth of the pickets. Fence posts have been bitumen painted for longevity with a black band showing at the base of each fence post. The rest of the fence and gate are painted in Farrow & Ball Green Smoke
I love how the shadows form here

Take a seat and stay a while
It’s those little details that count

Can you tell where the gate is?

You can see my sketches on the wall
Not every job is beautiful.
The shed is plumb
It took me 5 minutes longer, but I wrapped a damp proof course around the shed base for increased longevity
Concrete base in. With my background in structural engineering this base isn’t for gravity…it’s for the wind!
