Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
I was going to post a couple pics of a window job I just finished, but apparently I have to make 15 or more posts first
 Guess I better get posting!

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
This is a window job I was working on this past week. 13 replacements and a 6' patio door, all Milgard Classic nail on units. Exterior trim was 1x4 with a furring board behind it, made cutting the siding for our 2x4 trim SUPER easy
  For some reason, this was the only window that the HO wanted a window sill on. The rest just got picture framed. I wish they had put sills on them all, it dresses them up a lot more. HOs will be HOs   -Steve

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
I didn't think to take pics of it while I was there.... It was Saturday afterall, so I was trying to get done and get out, but I also did the crown throughout most of the place and replaced all of the door casings with the same 3" Riviera casing a couple weeks ago.... You can see some of the crown in the second pic. Yes, it's upside down. The HO had tried his hand at crown himself in his entry way and put it upside down. He didn't want it redone, but instead for us to match to what he had done

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
Yes he stated that. HO started the crown wrong and wanted him to finish it wrong to match.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
I see. So two wrongs do make a right.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
I've never coped for upside down crown (I hope I never have to, either)? Does it make a difference?

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
Gotta give them what they want, right? If I had sold the job, I would have tried to convince the HO to let me redo his part too, but unfortunately, this is not an in-house project. We get the jobs from Hubbard Windows (the small distributor we sub for) who in turn gets them from a realtor who doesn't know his stuff too well. It's money, so we can't really complain too much given the economy these days. I'm just glad to be busy

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
I don't bother to cope paint grade crown. the money doesn't justify it. I can't really see it making a difference though...

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
Don't take photograph of crown like this. If you want to show a window - just shoot a window. For somebody is matter in with way to make a $$.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
scuse me for not cropping
This pic was never meant to go on a marketing page or anything, I just snapped a quick pic for something to post here... Are you just bothered by the crown being upside down, or does something else about it look bad?
