Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
This customer had some shady contractors do her addition. I didn't really get into it with her much, but there was some crappy looking work done at this house, including this service entrance cable used on the driveway side. That's a violation for most power companies and there's stuff on it in the NEC. It was upgraded and sleeved in Schedule 80 1 1/4" PVC to prevent physical damage to the cable. I was there originally to install a whole house fan but I screwed up the shutters by incorrectly marking the cutout so I'll leave those pictures out of this thread
 Before... The meter wasn't even attached to the house with screws or anything.  After...

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
You seem to have another issue. That gas vent is WAAAYYY too close to your service panel. That Sch 80 you just installed is gonna look like melted wax in short order once that gas appliance is fired up.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
The whole deal looks wrong.
But the vent is in vinyl siding to begin with, right? It's gonna melt that before the schedule 80 ?

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
Truthfully, I didn't know what the hell that thing was. I found out it's a vent for a gas-fired fireplace and it isn't working. How hot can that thing actually get and is it mounted in area where it shouldn't have been mounted? I mean, this is a driveway and it's low enough to where children could touch it. Does this really need to be relocated (the venting)?

Did a kitchen reface. Changed over plywood doors with 50's hardware to raised panel Sapelle' doors with antique brass knobs and bin pulls.

Then they picked the wrong doors and drawers, those dont match at all. They should have had you put these on instead:  |

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.
I get it for around $4.50 b/f, planed to 15/16", with a straight line rip on one edge.
But for you, I'd give you a deal. $9.35 b/f
