Before & After Contest - SUBMIT YOUR VOTE!
Well, this was NOT easy. We had a lot of great entries and it was tough to pick the top 4 for everyone to vote on.
I picked these four based on the level of skill involved and dramatic changes shown. I'll make this short and sweet. The top 4 entries are: wickedcarpenter: #1 ProWallGuy: #1, #2, #3, #4 Humble Abode: #1 6stringmason: #1 PLEASE CLICK ON THE NUMBERS NEXT TO THEIR NAME TO SEE THEIR WORK. AFTER THAT VOTE ON YOUR FAVORITE! One of these lucky members will win their choice of any Occidental Toolbelt Systems from Medford Tools & Supply. Up to a $230 value! Leather Systems  Leather-Nylon Systems  Nylon Systems  Good luck, and thanks to MEDFORD TOOLS AND SUPPLY for sponsoring this contest! :Thumbs:

Re: Before & After Contest - SUBMIT YOUR VOTE!
Thanks for finding that. The links are now fixed!
Everyone should give another look at ProWallGuys now that the links are fixed. That was an amazing job! BTW, I find it hard to believe that so few people have voted but 79 people have viewed the thread. You do not have to post in order to vote. PLEASE VOTE!

Re: Before & After Contest - SUBMIT YOUR VOTE!
I wanted to enter but had too hard a time/too little time to figure it out. Anyway, the pictures I wanted to show off are on the "Before & After Phots" page on my website - www.decksetc.ca.
Good luck to those eligible! |

However mine didn't look as bad at the start. Bob

Re: Before & After Contest - SUBMIT YOUR VOTE!
LoL Bob!
It took me forever to scan the old pictures but I'll post more once the contest is over. I would have been better off just leaving one wall standing and knocking down the rest. The guy who lived here had took a shot gun and blasted holes in the ceiling and shot arrows in the doors LMAO! This guy had issues. The very front of the house next to the garage was framed on railroad ties sitting on footers so I layed new block and reframed the walls to support the second story. The house had 7' ceilings through out that I ripped out and did cathedral ceilings in 3 of the 4 beedrooms(The Master bedroom 24 x 24' has 8' ceilings,the kitchen and living room. Really made the rooms more open  Living in the house and getting one room at a time done was ruff. Every time we had another kid on the way(5 kids) i finished another room LoL! Brent |
