Just waiting on the tempered glass for the 2 cabinet doors flanking the fireplace

The crew didn't make an allowance for the toilet drains when rolling out the floor joists, so I had two of these to fix this last week.
About 3 hours a piece.
Would have taken a phone call and a few minutes of changing the layout to avoid it.

PITA Crap

 

Sparyed a few things. Primer, sand, primer, sand, top coat, denib, top coat. Blew a tip about 3/4 of the way through the process. Good thing I keep extra tips on hand.

It was a long 10 hours.

Looks a little more crowded in there than it did a month ago

What spray equip are you using?

 

The primer/Surfacer is shot through a FP395 AAA PC, 2200 PSI, air @ 15-20 psi, w/ a x13 flat tip.

These colors of topcoats are all mixed in a clear base, they're shot through a 15 to 1 Merkur, pump pressure is 60 PSI in, 900 PSI at the tip, air is @ 15 PSI, x09 tip. The white the pressure is upped to 70 PSI, x11 tip.

Also shot 3 1/2" sheets of maple ply that make up the back of the "locker" pictured.

For untinted clears I use a Triton.

I use the lower pressures with my 10:14 Kremlin. Never blew a tip. 10:1 ratio 35-45 psi fluid, 18 psi air.

 

Term used for a tip that is worn out. It started to leave striping, cleaned, didn't help, swapped tip, life was good again.

Weekend work for the landlord.
Sprayed and installed a new entry door.
I like getting these extra projects.
Framing was actually pretty good in the ro, so the install went fairly smooth.
No other siding material on site, so I may have to pick up some additional 'j' to complete the trim around the casing.

Some project update pics from the house I'm helping on.... A little bit of reframing from a floor joist layout error, some rainscreen, and some flashing detail.

Can anyone here show me how to do a functional outside corner with drip edge?

Got a call from a former client. Calls to ask me if I've ever heard of a cabinet emergency. Told him "No, that's a new one" Didn't know what to think but I know I have my cabinets in his house.

He tells me a cabinet fell off the wall and hit the island. Well that leaves me out, my cabinets would have to just across half the room to do that.

But it was the kitchen cabinets that the builder installed that fell. He called at 5pm and I was over there in 15 minutes with my tools. What a mess, glass all over the floor from the glasses and dishes in the cabinet that spilled out. Microwave still attached to the cabinet, wires ripped out of the wall. Really fun stuff.

So they cleaned up the mess as I was removing the doors. We analyzed why it fell. 2 screws in each stud which was really the plate. Checked the areas where the screws were and it was all solid. Lined up the studs with a laser and that's where the screws were. Screws were 2 1/2" long and were pulled out of the wall, not through the cabinet.

But we figured it out. Screws were to short. 3/4" stretcher, 1/8" back, 1/2" drywall leaves 1 1/8" in the wall but 3/8" of that is the self drilling point so 3/4" is holding up the cabinet. There were 5 screwed areas but they were doubled up (so 10 screws). But still not enough to hold up the cabinet apparently.

Put it back up with five 3" screws and two 1/4" x 4" Spax screws, one at each end along with one 3" in each of the bottom corners. Pretty sure it's up for good this time.

 

That's pretty interesting. I think a lot of installers would consider 1 1/8" in the wall sufficient, even with self drillers. Any longer and you risk hitting wires.

Edit: Were they in at such an angle? Photo looks like it. Maybe even less in the wall due to the angle? Someone thinking toe angling would be better?

 

I like 1 1/2". I use 1/2" backs and 2 1/2" screws. So with 1/2" drywall I get 1 1/2" penetration into the stud.

It's possible they could have been 2 1/4" long.

 

Why self drillers?? Were there steel studs?

 

Scary stuff, that could have really hurt someone.

 

The wife bruised her arm. Other than that everyone made it out unscathed.

 

Little PITA deck lol I like the colors though

 

Preliminary work

 

Tom. You put rods in 1st?
Did you get special instructions report.... ,[emoji1787]

I like how the electrical wire acted as a rip cord to open up the drywall.

 

I think that's one of the things that brought it down safely.

 

Mom wanted to swap out the old busted up bifolds in her basement. Got them trimmed to size and brought them home to spray them.

Used my friends Wagner on these because I didn't feel like using the hvlp. It did a better job than I expected. I'll second coat the fronts tomorrow

Your a good son... The 99.00 Yes the Wagner does a surprising good Job.

Wood self drill, it prevents splitting. But it also makes the first 1/4"-3/8" of the screw non grabbing.

 

I guess that would be instead of predrilling?

 

Yes. It's like the tip of a Kreg pocket hole screw.

 

Screwing boxxes on the wall:blink:
Way up on top of a hill.

 

I had that for the pantry and the kitchen nook in my previous installs. Worked great for the pantry. Only reason it was nice for the nook was the electrical was all in the wrong spot and just had to unscrew the plywood. The pantry had the plywood covered with drywall, the nook didn't since cabinets were going into the space.

 

When the kids leave home and the desk needs to become an area for the liquor.

Tom, what lighting did you use in the wall cabs?

 

Looks great Tom

 

Thank you.

Tom

 

Got the siding wrapped up from the window replacement job.

PITA I had to fill and 8" void from the curtain wall to a very wavy brick veneer. In, out, up & down.

Of course the kid wont answer the door after he came home from school so I have to go back for to snap the upper grills and screens in.

You ever go back to look at a 10 year old trex to see how it has weathered?
