This is, sadly, the last episode in an eight part series chronicling Bob & Jack as they brought an 18th Century farmhouse into the 21st Century. As far as I'm concerned--they are the reigning Kings of DIY! -- Joan

Master v. Disaster Part III: The Wall.
Did I say the wall was coming down?
Well, a few months later, I was starting to have my doubts. This was, after all, a pretty big deal for me. It meant taking the kind of risks I simply am not used to taking. You know, the bigger kind.
Design Master v. Disaster, Part II: Who’s Camilla?
So, let me backup for a second.
My tenure as Mr. Hammertown began in 2004. For the last 6 years, I, along with a rotating band of my best friends, have been the primary residents of the stoic Greek Revival at Hammertown.
Design Master Confronts the Design Disaster
If you’re reading this, you probably know my mom. You know, the design maven, the “hardest workin’ woman in retail”, the “real” Martha Stewart™ (kidding Martha!). Joan. Well, I’m Gregg.

Welcome our newest Choice: Wanda Furman – Home Style Consultant
Hammertown readers might already be familiar with Wanda’s name. She was a pivotal force behind the Gatehouse Redo in Pine Plains this spring and she styled the recent photo shoot we had for our newly-published brochure. This past February, Auntie M did a 3 part interview with Joan and Wanda when they discussed the renovation [...]
Doodletown Farm – Episode Four: Hands On Experience?
Jack and I knew that we wanted to help as much as possible during the renovation but first we needed to refine (or in my case, develop) some skills. First up was a screened pavilion that we built across the stream based on the BBQ shacks that Jack remembered from North Carolina.
