Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.

Leo G

I had a job that consisted of several vanities in a bathroom. The job got delayed because the husband was doing the work. The last thing that needed to be done was a whirlpool tub panel. But the tub surround hadn't been installed yet so there were no dimensions for me to get. It was the end of the day and the only thing left to do were the knobs on the cabinets. I had made the drilling templates as per their decision of where the knobs were to be place. I packed up and said when I come back to do the tub panel I would drill for the knobs. So....3 months later, when the tub surround was ready I came in and put the tub in. And then I drilled the holes and installed the knobs.

The lady of the house comes in an looks at them as asks me why I didn't ask them where to put them. Gee, did she forget the 1/2 hour of me placing knobs here and there for here. And the final decision they made which is why the templates were drilled so her husband could put the knobs on while they were working on the tub? Of course she did. Why should I expect her to remember something like that.

Either way, the husband remembered and "reminded" the wife of it. He was pleased with the placement and she was convinced she was pleased. I just irks me that most of the women I deal with can't finalize a decision because it will be "for the rest of there life" Just decide and lets get on with it. If you don't like it, you will get use to it. After all, you were the one who decided, not me.

True story..The architect that did work for the GC I used to work for died falling out a door just like in your picture.It was at his own house.The house was being remodeled and in the middle of the night he stepped out and....Sad story...

It was a cabin up in the mountains,Big Bear CA.It was a second story door but it was on the side of a hill so it was a little higher than standard.He landed on concrete.

We just finished this little 10' redwood framing/cedar roof project this weekend...so many cuts at the miter station. Only two grill work panels are the Chippendale pattern the other four panels are something that I just thought up (to be a little different).

Nice elderly lady that set in her patio chair for hours watching and talking to us...that's why it always takes longer.

Looks a lot better here than with the arches thread

Nice design & balance & I lost count at about 400 cuts

Ok, I admit it, I didn't even bother trying to count it - Just curious though, how long did that take you guys?

Thanks for the compliments Jumbo

Actually your not that far off of the cutting...lets just say over 1448 miter angles/bevels and butt cuts, you should have seen the saw dust at the end of the day

The whole build went "bottleneck" as the saying here goes designing and modifying changes par for the course...to build another one in half the time now (seven-ten working days) I know now what the labor and materials are.

That sucks. This is neighters house I believe so he can do whatever he wants but I would expect a Carpenter/ GC to put some 2x4's across the door to prevent a tragedy. Framerman posted some pics once of a deck/ staircase that was every bit as dangerous as this set up. Be careful there neighter.

That Gazebo looks awesome. I was talking to a potential customer today that was "older" shall we say? She could talk and talk and talk. Older people like to talk and they all love to have company, and this lady was no different. She was pretty damn sexy too for a 70-year old.

Small sidewalk and patio been going on for a while. Also did the carport slab, but no pics of it. Just cut the lines on the patio today.

Patio is getting stained 2 maybe 3 colours.





Don't gimme no guff about the sidewalk line in this pic. After we were 1 m. short on concrete, (HO ordered it) the HO broke out the beer, and this line was decided between the owner and the finisher, it is centered between the carport posts, which they decided was better than centered on the patio.


Also going to be doing siding on the garage, as well as soffit for the carport.
