Here's a nice reinforcing rod repair we did yesterday. Fabricators use clips to install sinks, they leak, they use cheap polyester to bed the rods instead of expensive epoxy, the water passes the poly, rusts the rod because they didn't use stainless steel or carbon fiber, the oxidizing rod splits the stone, and the edge jumps off the top onto the floor:

You've got to pull the rusting rod, decontaminate, adhere the pieces, and strap the sink in place.

 

Fun little outdoor kitchen at a house I've worked on for 15 years over about 8 major phases plus quite a number of smaller projects.

 

 

Got this little 3 cabinet bath job done. 6 hours from leaving the shop to finished with putting all the tools back in the truck. At least a 1/2 hour of chitchat. Had to cut one outlet into the interior of the upper tallboy.

I hate tiny rooms with big cabinets. Hard to take pics with a phone that doesn't have a wide angle lens

 

Set trusses today on a 40x60 church pavilion. Been a while; feeling a little creaky.

 

You're a hard man, Charlie Brown. Hope you had enough help!

 

Just enough. Two "wall" guys, a ridge guy and a rope man. Plus the crane operator, of course.

I hate hurricane straps. 10 nails each. Whacked finger about every third one.

That's why I work with mortar, lol.

I hope you were the pointer man. Somebody's gotta do all the yelling and pointing.

 

Oh yeah, it's definitely getting braces.

I'm aware of both the gun for those straps, and the screws. The GC on this is pretty old-school, though he's not much more than half my age. Working on eddicating him. So far, he's not biting, but I'll wear him down--especially since he just lost the grunt he's been using for several years to do that sort of thing.

 

Damn, Tin! Everybody's a critic! Lol

Lookin good!

 

The bigger the better as long as the bottom of the brace is at least 6'-8" to the finish floor.

 

Found out an engineer spec'd the 2' braces. Done deal.

 

My son met Big Bertha today. He liked her.

 

Love mine, only complaint is when I'm cutting fence posts down to height the dust port points exactly at my face from about 18" away.(which doesn't stop me from continuing to do it) I got bigger better extension cords recently which makes a difference........

 

I was thinking of picking one up for the pavilion I'm about to start framing. Rough 8x8 posts and 4x10/12s for the beams and rafters

The Makita in that pic is pretty much maxed out on 6x6. Not sure if anyone makes something that can do 8x8. Nevertheless, it's a great tool to have in the arsenal.

 

Skil makes a worm drive version of that now. 👍

 

12" Beam Cutter - Model PR-2700

Convert Your Circular Saw into a Versatile, Labor Saving, Beam Cutter.

I thought about it, but it's all exposed cuts and I'd like a cleaner cut without having to sand edges or worry about tear out

Guess I should have been more specific and said circular saw.

I'm aware of Prazi, but that's essentially a chainsaw and cuts like one. I could do as well with my Stihl. And have done so.

 

It wasn’t for you.

 

New house we just started in River Oaks area of Houston, smallish house. About 100 yds from where Ted Cruz lives

 

Tight lot, always makes it fun.

What kind of building wrap are you running over the CDX?

 

Commercial D Tyvek.

 

Siding, Plaster, Brick, or Plaster...???
Tyvek is not a final finished product.
What is the reason of enclosing the Porta Jon?? Weird.

 

Portajohn house. You mean a 2000sf house LOL

 

Pics out of order but finally getting to frame this one. Not me but my subs.

 

Well, I don’t see pics. Let me try again

 

 

I hope there's more than 1 copy with all those changes marked on it

One copy!! Can I make it last the whole job!?! Lol

 

He's got a pictcha

 

Got that right

 

Finished this desk/wall as part of a larger finishwork project just needs baseboard. I wanted to do a white oak desktop but they were set on it being the same as the wall. Betcha can’t guess what color the blue is.
