Never really noticed that. Was talking about the front of the island.

 

Doing my best Leo….

White Oak eh?

Is it QSWO?

 

Bead board is staying put. Getting painted with the cabs.

 

Well one day you'll get a linear rail lathe

 

I’ll set up a rotary drive for the CNC so I can machine 12’ tapered balusters….

So my prediction has come true.....

 

18 post holes augered on the coldest day of the year so far. Gettin' it done, boys!

 

Did the machine struggle?

 

Looks good to me! Siding is level but the roof has a wicked tilt, this is actually by design, so strange. GC framed it in house so I'm not 100 percent sure but looks like the wall is level and the rafters go from being blocked up to notched to achieve this. Very very strange...

I bet the walls aren't parallel, and the adjustment was so the roof came out right.

I know a building that is a trapezoid. Pitch on the roof varies end to end, you can't snap a line on it and shingle spacing varies.

Sometimes you do something odd to keep from doing even weirder things.

 

Cleaning up after a home owner electrical install special:

Lots of fun moving furniture and hanging plastic for ceiling painting at the same place. Of course just as as I’m wrapping up they decide they DO want the walls painted. Oh well, this one’s T&M no skin off my back.

Small basement remodel adding a bedroom to an already finished basement, really turned out to be a pain dealing with the city on this one.

Here you would have to upgrade the septic, if it was on one.

 

It works, and Andy’s a beast.

 

Yes, yes he is... just play your cards right and don't piss him off...

 

Don’t throw away that insulation, Jaws’ electrician will send a couple guys that come get it.

I'm jealous Regfi got Andy on site.

 

I told him that Lake Winnipesaukee is actually connected to the South Pacific and is famous for its tropical climate. I was only kidding of course but he was so enticed that he booked a trip to Boston.

 

Couple days in that Texas sun with those big steaks ya’ll got and Andy is never coming back to New England.

 

Little job I just finished up. Frame was good so we flashed the joists and replaced the stair stringers.

New Trex decking, aluminum rails and PVC columns. Not my best work but the owners are ecstatic so I'm happy. Plus I got to take one of y boys to help on this one.

 

I wish I had got Andy out here to reproof my pole barn. It would been done months ago.

“Can I help you?”
“Yeah you can move your van and get out of here, I need to take that roof off.”
“It’s stuck.”
“Okay…”

Lost a bit of time on that one.

 

Cold as a whores heart today on this ****ing hill, should of worn my coveralls. Since everyone is staying home with the ice I figured I'd come string line this house to get a visual before the foundation crew comes, haven't subbed concrete in a long time, Hope this guys as good as he seems to be - my guys have out grown wanting to do much concrete

 

One of my superintendents chutching up the job signs with copper caps 😆

Had to put one on skids because the house goes lot line to lot line, rest get buried

 

Boys are shut down today on my 2 story dock, breezy 30 degrees and drizzle on and off. I came to fix the compressor for the pipe driver. We always prime two coats of kem kromic primer on the pipe before driving to refusal, and paint 2 coats of DTM alkyd on the whole frame after priming. Pilings get filled with concrete as well

Rebecca Comeaux design, going to be a cool dock/apartment

Surfside Meredith Nh.

We will travel so send me your freakin drawings and get out of the way.

The hot tub died & was removed. Patching the deck back in, but the owner wants a border to match the other part, about tripling the scope. I built this about 30 years ago, including the shed below (4x6 @ 12"o/c rafters) to support the tub. Added a layer of torch-on over the original Bituthene waterproofing.
Also built the cabinets from Ipe, which are holding up well. Drawers inside w/ SS bottoms that extend to the sides to slide in grooves. The part of the house that the deck butts to I built even longer ago, in the '80s. The job stool was built in 1979- still in use. Some of the staples use to fasten the shingles near the tub rusted from the chlorine.

 

Wrapped up Hardie/aluminum work on this addition this morning. Bit of a PITA but turned out nice. Addition is all framed in steel for fire rating, we strapped out with Z bar, insulated with roxul and then strapped vertically w/ resilient channel to attach the Hardie.

Jaws and all his subs weren't working in TX today because it was 32F.

Here's older than dirt Tin handling it well in the snow.

 

I am working even when it was 24 at 4 thus morning lol

 

Charmin? Is that to wipe the BS you're pushing?

 

Lol, this is where it came from posted this last year in Things I Love thread

" Inspecting a job site a month ago I ran into my concrete guys crew forming a driveway and the new laborer was bitching about how hard the ground was he couldn't drive a stake in it and was trying to drill a starter hole - he's in that new stage where he's wearing himself out not letting the hammer do the work and the impact he's taking when it hits the stake is making me tired and my elbows ache lol - I took the hammer and held the stake against the form with my boot and dropped the hammer about 10 times and set it - tried to tell him to let the hammer do the work - he says thats not how he does it - I said I see and walked off. Not my guy and not my problem. When I'm leaving he's still bitching - I said I'm going to start calling you Charmin

He said Charmin?

Yep. Charmin - extra soft 😆

His crew thought it was hilarious but he didn't lol

Today I heard someone call him Charmin and asked one of the other hands if that stuck and he said he'll yeah it did 😆"
