Historic Living Room
I recently finished a shoot of the oldest home I have ever photographed. Built in 1740, North Point Plantation has been lovingly restored into a wedding and event destination in King William, VA. Much of the home is original and the current owners have done an amazing job in keeping with the historic theme. This shot of the formal living room is one of my favorites. I love the symmetry in the architecture and the quality of light. The home is actually very narrow, so the rooms feel very bright, especially for an old home that historically are very dark.

Affordable IR Camera
This camera is super useful for tracking down air leaks in buildings. The one-hand pistol grip arrangement frees your other hand for steadying yourself while maneuvering tricky job sites.
Handy Heat Gun
This heat gun is great for drying joint compound, primer and paint when patching drywall and plaster walls. Plus it can soften adhesive, get a very cold small engine to start, and shrink heat-shrink tubing.
8067 All-Weather Flashing Tape
Available in 2- to 12-in. widths, this is a good general-purpose flashing tape that sticks well to most things. It features a two-piece release paper, water-shedding layers, and good UV resistance.
