Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Started here



than after about 10 times more tear off then we could have imagined got to here...



notice the multiply siding choices, clapboards then shakes then vinyl, roof was 3 layers of asphalt then shakes. Thought the floor was alright oh god not a chance. The middle steep part thats gone here was double board when they added the 6 feet with the hip they made all that area underneath open kitchen then dropped a drywall cieling. they chopped the old gable wall off above the ceiling no header nothing. We took top off the gable and the floor dropped like 5 inches. So when we got the floor opened we found hardwood over subfloor over 2x4 sleepers trying to shim the original bow, then subfloor then 2x6 joists spanning like 14 feet then 2x4 dropped cieling then drywall.

It was a hoot trying to keep the kitchen ceiling from falling while we ran new 2x12 joists then tied the cieling back up.



Thank god got the bastard gable from our 8/12 into their 12/12 sided and the shingles on today. And yeah without fail its was out of square 6" on the diagonal.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Isnt it funny, we knew this job was gonna be a late august early sept start best case. Dealt with rain every week some weeks everyday all summer, didnt figure we stood a chance to tear a roof off and have a kitchen ceiling open for 2 weeks. But in 2 weeks all we had was some drizzle last friday.

Looks like quite the project kj,
Kind of makes you thing we should take core samples into side walls and ceilings to determine what's underneath.
Ain't remodeling great,lots of surprises,hardly ever enough compensation.

I guess one of the pics just makes the rafters look green.
Just regular DF framing.

Just finished this job. It was a fire job that the GC bought. Compleate gut and build-out. We did all painting, inside & out. It was a well run job by the GC with a lot of good work by all trades involved.

Hey Resta, that plaster detail is awesome.

Have you ever been to the Demolition Depot?

They have a bunch of old stuff there. I've never been there but the place looks way cool, and place to go to find old stuff.

Magnettica, yes and no. I work at another gallery in Little Italy, when they where on Houston street. That time yes. After their building collapse and Blum move in to Harlem - no.
