Appalachian Mountain Inspired · Built On-Site · Built to Last

The Hollow Series

Honest Structure. Quiet Character. Built Right the First Time.

A compact, purposeful backyard building with genuine Appalachian craft in every board — for homeowners who want solid and right without pretense.

Who Is the Hollow Series Built For?

I want something solid, honest, and right — without overcomplicating it. Does that exist?

In the mountains, a hollow is a sheltered place — tucked in, purposeful, unhurried. A hollow does not announce itself. It belongs. That is exactly the character this series was designed to carry onto your property.

The Hollow Series is built for the homeowner who has a clear need and wants it met with real craftsmanship, not catalog corners. Whether you are reclaiming your garage, creating dedicated tool storage, or putting a proper building behind the house for the first time, this is the structure that does that job without compromise and without excess.

Every board is cut and set on your site by Ed and his sons. No subcontractors. No prefabricated wall panels lifted off a truck. What you get is a building framed the way mountain builders have always framed — plumb, square, and made to outlast the decade you bought it in.

This Series Fits You If —

You want a well-built backyard structure that handles real daily use, holds up through Kentucky and Ohio winters, and still looks right on the property ten years from now.

  • You need dedicated storage that a real contractor — not a big-box kit — put together.
  • You want honest Appalachian character without paying for features you do not need.
  • You are placing it in a side yard or back corner where function matters most.
  • You want a structure that is complete, not a starting point for future repairs.
  • You want to talk to the builder directly — not a salesperson.

A Word From Ed

“The Hollow Series is the one I would build for my own back property if I needed straightforward, solid storage. There is no compromise in how it is framed — the same beams, the same joists, the same floor system I use on every build. What changes is the footprint and the feature set, not the standard of work. If honest construction matters to you, this is the right starting point.”
