An adu that we built a couple of years ago, a converted garage, will be on the ADU tour in September. The tour is on Saturday, September 4th from 10am-4 pm. It's a really fun event.

Here's a link to the website and sign up form

Here's a picture of the one that JCDB built. It's on 34th & Gladstone. If you sign up, please make sure you come by to see it! It's incredible inside with open beam ceilings, many custom built in solutions including a unique railing / shelf system, and some more awesome hand crafted steel railings.

I hope to see you there! Feel free to call us at (503) 744-0187

Paul (Owner): "Jacob, I know we need to have a railing, but I really want shelves. Can you design a railing that is also shelves?"
