 20060115 My first construction project
 My friend Noah Kalina just moved into an old parking garage in Williamsburg that is being converted into residential spaces. They are crude, but have potential to be whatever you can imagine. My buddy Paul and I both have an interest in practicing carpentry and construction, so we offered to build Noah a staircase to a bedroom he is lofting above his bathroom. After a few design-on-napkin sessions, we spent a day constructing the stairs. Here are some pictures ... I will put up some of it completed after it is stained. We're looking for something new to design and build. Let me know if you have a project for us. 5

said... looks great. what size rise did you use between each step? 11:31 PM Zach said... 8". 12:34 AM Jess Jams said... I'm still blown away by your extreme talents, Zach. I can't believe you built a staircase! Wow! 6:15 AM Christoph said... Nice work, Zach! Would like to have such an "apartment". 2:57 PM James McDaniel said... We recently built a stage at our Fraternity house for concerts. We put the stage together over a few days and it was as solid as a tank. The only part we messed up on was our stairs. The gofer carrying a speaker walked half way up and fell right through. Nobody was hurt. 3:04 PM Post a Comment |

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
