There's a lot of hope in this bench :laughing:

I hope I can get it there in one piece in my truck.

I hope I can get it through the doors in the place.

I hope I can slip it down into place without removing any cabinets.

Well the #2 hope has been eliminated. Today I needed to get the bench from the main bay to the spray room. With 2 people it would be easy. Do I have 2 people... ahhh no.

I have this

So I tried to get the bench through the door on a couple of shop carts but I didn't have enough room to swing it.

So I got it back off the shop carts and back onto the horses. And then from the horses down to the floor. I put the tri-wheel mover under the corner of the bench and then lifted it up vertically. And then I tilted it so it was in the shape of a V. It was pretty balanced but still wanted to fall over as it wouldn't self balance. Started to push it forward and lowered the front under the door, kept pushing and then lowered the back under the door and continued on to the sprayroom and laid it down.

And I did it by myself.:whistling

My hair is getting pretty long, you know, covid hair. So I invoked the Sampson in me.

See, now I like flashing that works, and that looks like it works.
Around here if it looks "out of place" to the builder it's omitted or scaled back.
I was working for someone a little over a year ago and installed a proper kick out flashing at an intersecting roofline to wall transition.
Because it went from the wall sheathing and had to protrude past the 3/4" rainscreen plus the thickness of the Hardie siding it was fairly sizable.
After the siding was complete I was back on site and had a look at how they'd handled the cut around the kick out.... Turns out they had cut out nearly flush with the siding afterwards because it "didn't look right" to them... [emoji19]

The beginning of a modest 5 bedroom build.
Site has been demoed of all previously existing buildings and topsoil, and the geotech engineer has given their report.
To meet the requirements of the report we've had to remove all previous backfill from the prior homes build and then replace with structural fill and pack to their requirements.
A follow up from the geotech determined that we'd met their requirements and we have started placing footings.
We were rained out on Friday so we'll get back to it on Monday morning.

What's with the hood wood finish, that matches the island, over the stove? It kind of looks out of place.

It is a design element for a client with high aesthetic standards.
