You made a great improvement. Nicely done.

Thanks. It’s was a nice quick turnaround deck also at 4 days. Having to drill the railing for the metal pickets was a chore

 

We installed a trench drain running the length of the patio below. It's tied into a 4" drain pipe running to the street.

Was the concrete all existing?

I like the flush look

 

Nice as always, Mike. What's with those posts? I assume they're getting wrapped?

 

They are getting painted for now. Eventually he wants to replace the cover. I replaced the posts out of the kindness of my heart.

Woof!

 

Oh one more thing. Lol

I only painted the adjoining areas of the wood because those pieces were a bit wet. Need them to dry some more.

He's got a painter coming next week to finish the painting. At least I could get sealer in those areas.

Ya well no pics.

Out of my forte' but not like I've never done it before. Had a friend that does some of my CNC work ask if I could change out an exterior door on a condo that he bought for his daughter that she ended up not moving into. So he wanted to get it on the market.

Job was swap out a 70s door with a modern fiberglass slab with a peephole.

Took off the screen door. The original door had 5/4 trim clad in aluminum surrounded by J channel and vinyl. So I cut out the jamb with a Sawzall, cut it in half and just yanked it out. Man, 1 3/4" thick jambs rabbetted down to 1" where the door fit in.

Put in a prehung fiberglass slab door, boring. All the flashing was done for me because I left the exterior trim on and it was in good shape. I was able to slip the new jamb into the hole from the original. Lots of silicon on the bottom of the jamb and nailed in the top. Moved the bottom to get the door square and nailed the trim in a few spots. The hinges had a hole in them to put a screw into it right at the hinge, neat. So shimmed it up, screwed it off and it was swinging nice. Had to put extensions on it to flush it with the sheetrock, used the original trim on the sides but the top would have been too short because they really chopped up the sheetrock from the original install. I had extra wood with me and made the top casing since all of it was just flat stock with rounded edges, you know... 1970s.

Put the screen door back on, the knob and bolt in and had to fix a countertop that was poorly installed.

 

Sapele door and vinyl gable shake delete/individual cedar install for apt complex remodel locally. Board and batten to follow.

 

Daniel Island New Construction

 

Remodel for a buddy’s house getting close.

 

That door replacement is divine. Nice job, man.

 

Exterior tearoff and reside. New openings. Deck tearoff and reframe. Trex Decking and stupidly labor intensive column and post wraps; cable rail to follow.

 

And after homeowner decided on the minimalistic board and batten/wainscoting (id call it) we had to rip all the panels to keep trim breaks for nailers symmetrical; wasted a TON of panels. She paid for it though.

 

I'd just call that paneled.

Nice work!

 

What'd you wrap the columns with? Hard to tell from pics, but the color looks like Boral, which I was just the other day thinking that I haven't used in a while. I really liked that stuff.

Close. Primed Hardie trim; with a ton of ripping.

 

Full remodel on a house and building new log yard and MC for the mill

 

Did we cut out a bearing wall?!

 

No, removed the plaster and that’s how it was 😮

 

Maybe.

 

Am I having dejavu or have I seen this picture before in another thread? Looks awfully familiar.

 

Simple stairway railing in a garage.
They didn't want to spend a bunch of money and wanted function over form.

I didn't want to go with pressure treated as....I just don't care for the stuff.
Getting something non pressure-treated required a 6-7 week wait.
All the 2x4's full of knots...

So I made up what I needed.
Ripped down 4 pieces of 3/4" Baltic Birch and planed a piece of poplar I had so the width would be 3 1/2"...face-glued everything together.
Used some knot-free douglas fir I had laying around and face-glued that to create the railing.
Rounded all the edges...
Mounted the post in a Simpson bracket and bolted to the floor
Everything is solid, straight and I think...a little different and attractive....your mileage may vary.

They are away on vacation. If they don't like it...painting is in my future

 

I like the look of the Baltic Birch.

 

Last weeks endeavor...

Same folks as above.
I did a shower gut and tile job for them 10 years ago....installed crown.
They had a guy build a vanity and mirror before they met me and all the finish had come off. Dark stain and I don't know what happened but it just looked like hell.
She decided after months of thinking she wanted tile back-splash, a quartz top, vessel sink and a new vanity, which I made. I hired Leo to do the "go around the plumbing" drawer which came out great.
She wanted a blue accent around the edges of the doors, drawer and mirror. I cut a cove, masked everything off and hand-painted the same color as the walls.
Did some minor repairs on the walls while I was there and gave everything a fresh coat of paint.

They're happy...I'm happy.
Personally, I would have put another molding under the tile but she liked it just like that.
I had to convince her it needed a top molding.

Came out nice Robie. To bad it took her 1000 years to make up her mind.

 

The Parade is in 1 week…..

Hopefully by the end of the day the frame will look like this….

Tom

 

The actual looks better than the drawing (stile and rail look better on the real thing orientated right)... Nice...

Where's it going and what program did you use?

 

They fit…..(Ed picked them up and installed them).
