Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
I've been playing with my new camera and took a couple of pictures of a little project we just finished up so I thought this might be a good time for a first post to this thread.
Project consisted of faux finishing an existing library panels, cabinets, and shelves. Rebuilt the fireplace mantle and replaced the existing surround stone (yes I know the surround doesn't meet code but that was what was existing and H.O. didn't want a stone mantle). Refinished the wood floors. Nothing big here except the faux painting which I was very happy with. I wish I had "Before" pictures but stupid me. These panels were all an ugly off white before and our goal was to make it look like a slightly distressed wood.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
Yeah the whole room was an off white color. I would of loved to have built new but it was cheaper to faux paint it....and it still cost over $20k just for the paint.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
It's not as simple as it looks! This stuff has the refelctive coating on the outside! It's not your dual pane low e with the low e in between the panes. It had heavy hard water water damage, iridescence, runoff, smog stains and was just un cleanable and not maintained well.
Any kind of acid would have ruined the reflective coating and turned it black or made it flake off altogether. There were sample of both from previous "glass restoration experts(!)" Anyway, it took 5 days longer than expected and had to be done from a JLG 4525 but we got 'er done! We're trying to figure out just how much it would have been to replace this expensive type of glass. Anyone have any feedback? Ever see this type of stuff before? Now that we figured it out, we want more! All the glass cleaning supply places say it can't be done but I'm thinking we just did it! Anyway, thats our latest project for the thread! We have more coming. Wait til you see this house in Bel Aire we have to remove metal flecks from some large windows! Note to self : Never cut metal close to any glass windows! It will embed itself in the glass!! Rick Evans Unscratch the Surface . com 888-986-7272 |

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.Quote:
Generally the lattice is attached to the posts & some 2x's run lengthwise to give it some stability. If it was a cantilevered deck - I would probably still attach it to the posts, or you would have to basically build a wall out towards the edge of the deck. The bulk of my decks are freestanding & the posts run from the PBA all the way up to the railing for strength. I really have never liked building decks cantilevered unless you are using composite or a high end wood products from the get go. OGStilts, Rick - nice job Tom - admit it, you love it & it will turn out great |

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
Next week's job should I be able to locate 1x3 v-joint or 1x6 twin v-joint cedar.
Has anyone seen an engineered product with this profile? |

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
You are right, 1x4 my bad. I thought car siding had a curve instead of a bevel?

V on the back. Don't remember the coverage with 1X8, but that might work too. 1X4 is @ 3.08" exposed.... Salesman said 3 1/8, idiot that I am I didn't think twice....... til I was about 2' from the end of the run. Turns out 3.08 X 90, and 3.125 X 90 makes you go back to the yard for 2 more sticks.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
Thanks Neo. I believe one of these may be what I have to look for, rough sawn. Now I get to go back and measure the bevel
