you boys having fun today?
Streamline, Around here we can't leave romex exposed above a panel like you can.
I have framed a bunch of these chases for the crafty sparkys on my jobs in the past.
Two 2x4's on edge with some on the flat that the wires get stapled to. Then it all gets rocked.
Is this unusual for the rest of you guys?

If the basement or room the panel is in happens to be unfinished you can leave the wires exposed. If not we box it in like you showed

What kind of saw do you use for something like that, Rory?
Which way do you run the grain of the drywall?

Thanks for covering my backside.
Great looking work Streamline.
Maybe one day when the state decides to send me my license number I can quit sitting around all day and go back to work.

the door guys had fire doors shipped from the manu without the UL tags on em. manu had to come out and put the tags on themselves, otherwise it would violate the UL listing.

Finally got a couple of walls 100% completed. 
I was also able to give my Makita a thorough test, it's doing well.

Your own place? I don't know many HO's that allow or like people working on Sundays.
Next - seeing you went through all the Ceramic threads this leads to one big question --- What's the backing and how did you waterproof this? Oh, ok, one more - pre packaged niche & waterproofing used?

Very nice. And it all started with what looked like a big splat of concrete. Keep up the photos.

The first thing that you will notice on a cordless saw is that the blade is on the left side & the second thing that you will notice is that they don't have enough kick to put the wood pieces in your eye (good thing). Perfect saws for quick cuts indoors with little mess (or noise). Once you get used to them, the corded saw will collect dust. My DeWalt 18V lithium goes for hours.

They look great. Carving on top or CNC. Any special meaning to the brass onlays on the bases?
