The joy continues.





At least I'm done working under the thing now.

If a pumper truck looks like a wheelbarrow and a shovel, then yep I did.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


100yr old house in NY...stripping the existing 3 layers of siding, repairing rotted soffits, etc, then installing some real nice double 4 over Tyvek. Wrapping the window trim and fascia with .19 alum. Gonna go over the 1 layer of 3 tab on the roof with 30yr architectural shingles, ridge vent, etc as well.

And yes- that "Leaning tower of Chimney" is coming down, as is that fire "escape".

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


No fancy radial arm saws for me...

I prefer to cut the siding right on the work bench when I am up in the air.

(TIP: turn the "paneling/vinyl siding" around backwards as it will STILL chip the siding if you do not)

And wear EAR PLUGS! I like the ones that you can hang around your neck (easy/quick access).

...and uh...also: don't force the guard up like you see in the pic. I did that just for the PICTURE....you know...so you can see the type of blade I was using better and stuff

I was going to say... that's what carpenter's pencils are for. Why risk damaging a perfectly good clamp.

Nice work!

Is that a plywood blade? I bet that cuts down on the chips too. Nice wraps on the window ledges.

Rotted soffit. I would've sworn it was leaky built-in gutters causing the problems, but it turned out to be the dryer vent.

Caulk? We don't need no stinkin' caulk!! The devil is in the details.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Got the trusses up yesterday.

34 trusses at 50 lb each, got them up by myself in 4-5 hrs.

Shoulders are a wee bit sore today lol.

Nice work!
Thanks guys-

Pencils won't fit in that saw.

Steve- yeah, its a plywood/vinyl siding blade turned around backwards. I used to always use regular carbide tipped wood cutting blades turned backwards, but this seems to be a little smoother.

Is there any thing structural about this cap or is it purely going to be cosmetic/aesthetic?
