So my brand new Hammer A3 31 jointer/planer combo machine was delivered yesterday. I would like to thank everyone that has posted info on their machine here on the forum.

Still, the couple wanted to retain much of the boathouse’s original spirit and charm, including the home’s old growth cypress construction materials. When the building project began in 2005, Corban asked the contractor to take apart the old boathouse by hand so the cypress could be used to accent the new home.

“These trees were ancient,” Corban said. “We thought it would be a shame not to reuse it.”

Now, Corban’s high home finds itself among some lofty company.

GRAND RAPIDS — The official start of spring is two days away, even though weve enjoyed spring-like weather for several weeks.
