Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


My latest job done in Philadelphia.

Another mural at a North Face store.







Can anybody spot the TRUE sign of working in the city in the picture below? It's not what you think it is.

Or pointing a gun at you.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Here's this week's job.

Cut out some of the mini concrete wall, poured a slab, turned the concrete steps and landing into a one level mini-deck and built the ramp.

Gotta go tomorrow and put a curb on the ramp and finish cleaning it up.

Edit: it was actually a lot darker out, this new camera I got apparently takes some getting used to with its auto shutter speed and things.

Good eye! Its the new North Face store on Walnut.

This is what I was talking about:



City work requires a padlock on the crapper. If not, a family of 8 would move in over night.

I think maybe to carry that off well, you'd also need to add a bit of trim at the dividing line between the two colors.

Regardless, MAJOR improvement in the look of the room!

ETA: Just noticed the name of the job was Murphy. How did THAT go?



Murphy's Law! LMAO

We debated trim and paint for the bulkhead but decided on this approach. Any small trim, I felt, would be a risk to break in the future and would not really "hide" the bulkhead. The HO like the look so all's well that ends well.

Fortunately for me, our carpenters make me look good. I just push the mouse around my desk and make pretty lines.
