A band board/post repair to a post and beam house. Damage is from water intrusion due to a deck that was lagged in but never flashed. There is a slider on either side of a 4x4 post, sitting on a 2x10 band on a 4x6 sill.

This is how we supported the beams which are 4x12's, so we could replace bad wood.

One more for you steel aficionados. This is a portal frame with a moment welded connection to the steel 4x6 posts. Was used to frame most of a 21 ft opening for an addition and was needed for wind bracing and also to support two large tiled bathrooms above.

Thanks, 3W, Tom, and Rory, what you see is only part of the deck. It is a wrap around. Here's the other side. Unfortunately, the HO didn't want to pay for hidden fasteners.

Nothing to do today and I'm in the mood. Here's a 3-stop elevator we put in a house.

I want an elevator, or at least one of those chair things that goes up and down the stairs by itself.

The chair thingies are for old people. Elevators are for rich people. Always work for rich, old people.

My pictures were removed, sorry about that. I usually only post photos with our watermark on them, some people like to steal them. I guess thats not allowed here. Again, I apologize.

FEW MORE SHOTS


We had to bwork around 4 kids and full rooms of furniture once the adjoining wall was opened,at the last minute possible.

That slowed progress to a snails pace!
