3 days, fedex to me from some place far away.

My Ferguson plumbing rep works the magic every time.

It was not available anywhere, he got it from somewhere though. I actually like it, seemed solid to me too

It was just like the commercial they pick the faucet and designed the kitchen around it

My day was good; finished a small job and left a happy HO. But yours has to be a couple of orders of magnitude better.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Yeah not too bad. I also met with my CPA this morning so all those ducks are in a row too. Now all I need is the phone to start ringing and everything would be great. I have an ad in one of the local newspapers starting on Wednesday so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

rock on!

Did the inspector do that? I would have killed him. Is that required in NJ?

The panels needed to be identified because there were three. I do need a label maker but there's a lot of things I need.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Finished this up in the shop today... It's the final part of a very contemporary looking office set. I'm a fan of a more traditional look, but I'll build whatever they pay me to build...

(L-shaped desk, hutch, small roll-around printer cabinet, and this tall file cab/storage cabinet.)

This is the first time I got lazy and ordered prefinished drawer sides.. They sent me 1/2" BB ply prefinished, pre-grooved, and top edge banded. It splintered like crazy when I dovetailed it, and it just seems weak compared to the usual 5/8" solid maple drawers I make.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


I gave up on baltic birch for drawer parts. The price is right, but the quality sucks. Very splintery and I hate the footballs.

I have changed over to a Euro Maple plywood, I use 5/8". When you dovetail it sometimes the small rounded end of the dovetail delaminates, but it still makes for a strong good looking drawer.

Maybe they were just honoring your namesake when they sent you something that "splintered".

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Super small bath remod.Not a total gut job.The window had sat unfinished,no drywall on the upper 1/3 of the wall,for over 2 years.
Had the shower hot mopped today and am going to float the mortar for the pan tomorrow.I primed today after the pics.Tile on Monday.
It's small but I am grateful to be working.I am doing it alone except for the plumbing and hot mop...

..btw...It is really tough to get a picture of a room so small.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


I had to assemble an outdoor playset earlier this week... I know, I know... It's not a glamorous project like some of you are currently working on, but it was for a special customer.... The customer wanted to help with assembly, which is another red flag, but I just couldnt say NO....
