Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Deffinetly not a glorious job I did this yesterday. Nothing like working in the city, I must have had 5 crackheads ask if they could have the aluminum siding! The top cap blew off the siding 2 years ago, suprisingly the wood framing wasn't as bad as I thought. I took the siding down until the wood was solid, reframed, ran the siding back up and bent a new cap. My camera died after the first picture I took.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


yeah, there deer hunting stands. We joked about it going to look like and oil drilling field. Going on a 4000 acre farm, building 6 this year but will probably do more later.
He had one of his full time employes build the prototype and sent it to a welding shop to build 5 more (the top part you see in the last pic).Maybe he'll let me design them next time. I can do better and probably cheaper too.
Im finnishing them out and doing the legs on site cause too big to haul down the road. Overall 13' square at bottom and 18' tall. He wanted the legs to be wood 2x8 to save money but i explained that the amout of framing it would take to keep them straight would end up costing as much as steel and it would be hard to keepem together over the years and while moving.
The 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" legs and rebar bracing did cost a little more than the wood but its all welded together and will never need rebuilding.

Woah! The angle of the picture looks like you have 1 ladder on the inside and 1 ladder on the outside of the pique.
lol.
I looked closer and I can see the other yellow ladder back there.

Here is a couple of kitchens we did this summer. The GC's for these jobs run a good show, that makes it a whole lot easier.
Isn't it fun when it all comes together and everybody is happy?

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


I have looked at th0se pics 30 times the kitchens are gorgeous, but that white 30 dollar microwave in the cabinet is driving me crazy I almost want to photoshop it out.

Ok I am better now. Like I said beautiful work

Gus, great pics, very, very nice craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing.

The GC's that you deal with, and you, are part of the "overall team", that deliver such a nice product.
Good teams, are not just "in-house", they can be various independent contractors, that work together regularly, to deliver high quality work, like you guys do (like your team does) =

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Getting close to the end of phase I on the forever job. This is the wainscoting and staircase paneling I made. There is also a 3 panel wall under the staircase, the center panel is a door and swings out on SOSS hinges and is held closed with a touch latch. It wasn't installed when I took the progress pics. There is also a molding covering the joint between the wainscoting and the staircase panel.

Looks great. Forever jobs can be a good thing, when they pay right.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Thanks to all for your kind comments.
It is amazing what time, money, and talent can do.
I have surrounded myself with great people that still love what they do. I am just proud to show off the results.

The microwave in question would be a steal for $30, but I totally understand. I waved the red flag during the design phase that it was too high but had to pipe down as I saw I was not going to win that battle. Oh well, what are ya going to do?

I like the wainscoting in the photos above. Very nice.
Was that done on site?

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


All the woodwork was made [by me] in my shop. 2500LF interior molding, 1500LF exterior molding, 24 Poplar Man doors, 3 Mahogany Man doors, All casings [doors and windows], M Bed cabinets and paneling, small bath library, Sapelle' bar room, wainscoting and paneling. A lot more that I didn't mention. I handed it off to the GC and his trim guy did a great job of installing the woodwork. Even I was pleased. Most of the work was primed but some needed to be handed off before priming because of time constraints. The Sapelle' cabinets, trim was delivered raw.

I made their kitchen, library and meeting room cabinets and trim 10 years ago.

Phase II will be coming soon, I expect to be busy.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Here's what I got to do today..

I retrofitted 5 Stealth Acoustics speakers in a family room of a new-construction home for a theatre application.

They are designed to fit within 16"oc, but all the interior walls of this place were done in 24" so I had to structure them out a bit. And there was a bunch of duct work and plumbing to fit around too.

Stealth speakers are designed to sit flush with the drywall. They get mudded around the edges, sanded, and then you just paint right over them so they look like the wall surrounding them. 'Invisible'

I love doing these things and are easy sales in high end homes for the Wife Acceptance Factor.

Indeed. And when you have work like that to reflect upon when you are finished, even better.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Hey Gus, I even used it on the wainscoting. I don't need to, but it makes it clamp free assy. The Sapelle' stuff at the beginning of the thread (pg 1) I only use it on the face frames. That is mostly what I use it for, FF's. But the angled paneling is what I really enjoy using it on. It use to be such a pain to figure out how to clamp it up. Now I just pocket screw it and don't think about it. Thanks for looking.
