Look at Leo, pretending he's not super impressed with his own handiwork. Am I right?

lol

Looks good. Maybe a couple lead batteries in the bottom drawer will keep 'er steady.

 

No dovetail drawers, screws showing on the sides of the cabinet, no drawer slides, unfinished on the inside, no edgbanding on the plywood edges

Hackery I tell you, hackery.

 

The clamp rack is impressive though!

 

Hey hey... Eyes off my shop candy.

 

Damn, it's almost full. And I came up with more hackery for dividers.

 

Hardware gold you got there…….

They should probably be lockable 🤔

 

Talk about getting lucky. Size-wise if it was a 1/16" smaller in either direction I couldn't fit much

So what did that $35k pour cost ya anyway? You have at least a grand in food alone!

Props to your guys. Take care of the men and they'll take care of you.

 

About 18k for the mud, 3500 for pump, should of been 5k for the finishers but double bubble to the 5 who stayed so like 7k - 280 for Fajitas, probably 80 bucks in breakfast tacos between both days, not sure what juan got them for supper last night but probably 150 bucks, I'd imagine I'll have a CC receipt from Juan for a bottle of something - usually a no no but 60 + year old finishers overnight working at 38 degrees that ain't a priority for me lol

So call it like 34k. Add in about 16k in labor for forms grading and tying bar, about 8-9k in bar probably, 4500 in fill and a few grand in incidentals for the whole deal I'd say close to 70k, 76k with the walls we are setting and pouring

Plus 20% to the big guy 😆

The only surprise expense is some Fajitas and couple grand or so (not sure what they worked out with juan to pay em orginally just said double it for the ones who stayed)

Minus some more damage to my future ulcers and contributions to my first heart attack that's a pretty good day

 

Now my shop is a mess. I'm trying to get rid of a table that is a horizontal catch all. It's a 2x4' table and if I can get rid of it, it will really give me another 4' of working space in my shop. Empty boxes and crap all strewn about haphazardly until I can get this table cleared off. And then I have to find a place for it.... Upstairs it goes

 

You're supposed to have a wood stove in your shop.

 

Ya. Why didn't I think of that.

Oh ya...the fire marshal

 

Man people talk about “California”, but then I hear about all the &)(t you guys can’t do everywhere else, and I realize I live in outlaw country. 👍👍👍

 

Just wear a mask and he'll leave you alone.

 

Burn barrel?

Wood furnce is allowed, but not a wood stove.

 

Well made some headway in the clean up. Didn't take a before pic but found one from other pictures.

Quite the horizontal disease going on back there.

After I got most of the horizontal disease off the table (and threw it on the floor LOL) I snapped a photo.

And now it's somewhat more organized.

Lots of crap on my tablesaw to be re-located.

Still much more to do.

 

I'm disappointed the double shower head thing didn't work out.

 

So was she I'm pretty sure she married me for my looks ....

I was surprised she didn't wait up when i got home from basketball a note on the island please put clothes in dryer 🤣

 

Those little love notes get me every time.

 

I'm with Doyle and the old timer.😆

That porch cap I mentioned earlier, the young couple came home from the bar at about 1am. I was sitting in the truck waiting to finish my yard of crete. They invite me in for an hour and a half of beers before it was set up enough to get a finish. Good thing I turned down the shots or I would never have gotten back over in the morning to scrub out the paper and cat prints. Not sure why she was up at sun up to notice, but we got er done.

 

Between rain and my supplier being out of blocks, we finally were able to get the mason going this morning. Sun is out, getting up to 60 degrees, production is happening….it’s a good day to be alive

 

Not much bar coming out of that footing. 🤣

Every one I do has bars every 24”. 😳 Pain in the ass.

 

 

Pool demo on a 75' x 132' lot with houses all around.

 

Finally got enough water pumped out of one of the customers basements to figure out how come the sump pump can’t keep up, waters been shutoff at the street for 3 months and a steady stream coming from under the foundation, city mains broke other side of the shutoff and pumping water right along the pipe into the basement.

And tossed some flooring in a different job later today

Popular floor color right now... You don't stagger your flooring past 2 runs? or is it just those few runs?

 

Removed a plaster ceiling, from above.

 

That sounds interesting……I spy Zip tape in the background, good stuff
