Template taped in place.

Almost but with the top edges curved also.
Can't find a picture.

Yonico, I have a couple made by them. They're OK

 

Starting another custom on Lake LBJ, SRB Custom, over 7k ft. 2 story boat dock, the decks on second floor are over 1700 ft, Azek Harvest Line. Pretty cool house, elevator, nice finishes and fixture/appliance package, the main room on second floor has 3 opposing vaults with wood ceilings and faux exposed timbers. Gonna be fun to cut that ****er in

 

Awkward spot to cap a new window... Damn I hate window installs.

That looks steep my legs would be trembling. What pitch is that?

 

Hope that ladder didn't skid on the pavers...

 

Also have a 1000 s.f. Deck to build (again)

Tomorrow we'll install out-lookers fascia and get it sheet ed.

Didn’t know y’all used OSB out in Cali !! 🙂 usually see plywood

 

Is a 2/12 adequate for a comp roof?

No.

 

3/12 is considered minimum.

 

Everything in reading says 2:12

Bottom line here is check the installation instructions. Certainteed allows shingles down to 2/12 if their I&WS equivalent fully covers the deck.

They should all be similar.

Quality control....

We're getting it down here too but not as much, radio said Orange County was getting some pretty good rain, beaches closed because of lightning.
Some sort of tropical flow.

 

Trying out new "electric" floor machine for upcoming hospital work. The other ones we have run on propane, and they are a no go in hospitals, even with a scrubber on the exhaust.

 

I'm not sure what I'm looking at here. Is this a machine to strip an epoxy(?) finish of concrete? Is it a ride on?

Whatever it is, I think I need one, lol

 

This is the job that I had to redo most of the doors and drawer fronts because I erred on the 4 file drawers in the middle drawer front height. Other than that big faux pas everything went very well with the installation. Clients are very happy. I need to come back with some handles and mount them. Other than that it's complete.

 

Gotta hand it to ya, you do nice work when you're not playing around with sandpaper!

 

If you look close the whole project is just layers of different colored sandpaper glued together.. 😆

 

Touche!

 

Got the siding wrapped up on the great room/porch addition project. Column wraps & spouting are all that's left.

 

Some of the rebar is crooked from the yard. Don’t judge me.

 

That's the finest brick **** house I've ever seen!

Thank heaven you thought to put a vent in...

😜

 

Don't do much in the way of pavers, but it turned out fairly decent

Tied in downspouts, 4" concrete pad, pavers...

 

Looks nice !

 

Fun is.
A bunch of misc jobs here but I think this 12' gate is going to be my favorite.
Wire brush and sand, prime and paint.
Thank God for the canapy, which was a gift from a member.

 

Well, it isn't rocket surgery but the results were worth the too much work put into it.
After an angle grinder with a cup brush, an electric drill with wire wheel, hand-held wire brush, 60 grit sandpaper and various putty knives...it's done.
She's happy; I'm happy. The heat sucked.

One glitch was...after sanding I realized this was all galvanized (duh). Read my can of Rustoleum metal primer and it said do not use on galvanized metal.
Off to S&W and got a gallon of XIM Acrylic Bonder and Primer/Sealer and had them tint it gray. I've never used it but will again. It went on beautifully and covered great.

 

PVC column wraps showed up today so we assembled and installed those. Siding needs pressure washed still. Client is happy, and we are finally close to closing a job out! [emoji322][emoji322]

 

Firepit mosaic. I posted a progress photo of this last week, here it is all finished up.

And here it is, in context. Dry laid flagstone patio, walkway and custom made bench.

Same jobsite, outdoor shower mosaic.

 

Nice work once you see the overall
