About a month left on this fairly extensive reno. My first real GC job. The fuax brick wall turned out great. We were originally going to line the opening with wood but changed it to brick corners. The alder mantel and shelving I built are getting cleared right now.

Nice looking job. Kind of funny ,but that back splash pattern looks just like some peel and stick stuff my sister got from Wal-mart for her camper.

Pretty sweet gig, ridiculous for your first as GC lol. I think mine was a bafhroom they wanted to keep the toilet, mirror and cabinets :laughing:
 
I would be using a roll material or metal cricket, pain in the ass work.

The owner is in good hands. Too many Roofing contractors dont give a crap
We are installing TPO there.

So far the boss is happy, customers have been happy, the crew is happy, and I am happy.

I am particularly liking the houses and the market that we are targeting.

Half the crew had this house 90% ripped in 3 hours. I'm impressed

What's with the soldiers on top of the header? Seems like it takes away from the field on both sides of the wall. IMHO
 
Finally got this painted. A couple of nibs in the corner but no sags or drools.

Option A is the one that's easiest to do and the least to produce damage to the finish. But it has a very high drag factor because it sticks up so far. It's a 40 minute drive.

Option B keeps a low profile and I'll have to put a pc of plywood in the truck to extend the reach a bit beyond the 10' with the gate down. But it rests on the corners so there is a higher chance of damage. Lots of blankets and padding.

Option B is what I'd prefer to do.

Can you screw some 2x material here to rest on and help maintain some rigidity?
