Drywall... It's the same, but different every day... But the same... 🤔 View attachment 548100

All in all, I'd say not too bad for one guy (even though it's taken 9 days so far). I'm still not done, and won't be before I'm shipped off to the next job on Monday... But that's, uh... Not going to be an immediate concern.

 

Measure the wood
Cut the wood
Sand the wood
prime the wood
sand the primer
paint the primer
sand the paint
scuff the paint
paint the paint.

No idea what you mean

 

Reminded me of... "It puts the lotion on the skin or it gets the hose again"...

 

Added 1/2" foam board to help protect in freezes around the outside and wrapped in flashing so it can't leak. Water heater - the white sides are coil flashing. It's built into the wall but these on demand wh's stick out some past the 5.5"

Electrical panel has through wall flashing on top to stop leaks, as well as Zip liquid flash in each wire hole. I hate panels outside but it's not a big house and she didn't want to give up any Laundry room lol

Always looking for better ways to do these, haven't seen many good practices around here for them. We just wait using 80 gallon Marathons a few years ago

 

Spent about an hour doing a hard scuff on the table. Getting rid of all the low spots, mostly at the joint where the ridge was. Couple of small spots in the field and check that was in the maple that I filled with my colored wax and put three gloss coats over the whole table.

Hopefully it should be the last coat. It's going to be a shiny satin. I'll add a couple ounces of gloss into the sating to push the sheen up.

Dull dull dull.....

Looks Great.
Just hope the builder or owner has enough $$ left for the landscaping, LOL.
Needs a couple of trees and some grass.

 

Looks like a hell of a drive to 7-11.

 

There in lies the appeal.

Sugatsune HES3D hinge install.

An unusual situation, the stiles are 1.5” wide on the panel doors we had to use 26mm cup euro hinges. The 26mm will not work on the glass insert doors.

Used the Shaper Origin to cut the pockets. I had drawn the file for these hinges a couple of years ago, uploaded loaded the drawings to Shaper Hub. I have access to all of the uploads as long as I have internet access.

The “cabinet” side had to be routed into the filler, there was no good place to insert the hinge into the euro stile case. I set the door gap off the face of the case by placing 4 door bumpers on the door, placed the door against the case, fastened the filler to the case. I’ll place the hinge covers after final adjustment.

Looks like a SOSS hinge.

 

Same but different, Sugatsune hinges are adjustable.

If I recall correctly Soss does not make a hinge this small.

Are they Japanese?

The box states Made in China. Thanks, now I have to find a different brand...

Yes they are Japanese,,, About Sugatsune | Architectural & Industrial Hardware Company

 

Pretty sure they do, but not adjustable.

Looks like the 101 or 101SS would work in a 3/4 application.

They have sized from round 10mm and on up. I've used the round ones because they are very easy to install. Drill a hole, insert and put a screw in that makes the body a bit larger and it stays in by force.

 

Finally got the final coat on the conference table over the weekend. Like everything on this table it made me fight all the way. I put on what I thought was the final coat. Came back and it was way to dull for my tastes. Says satin on the can, it's not. I even added 6oz of gloss into 16oz of satin to bring up the sheen. And then there was the booger in the finish. Big sucker. Tried to wet sand it out with the high grit polish sandpaper but wouldn't go away. Figured I'd bite the bullet and hit it with 800 and polish back up. But the 800 grit barely touched this finish after about 3 seconds of sanding. Tried to polish it out but the spot remained and I couldn't do anything to do the whole table with the 800 grit without used 50 or so sheets.

So I ground it back down with 320, that took 22 sheets of my ceramic paper. Damn, this stuff is hard after it cures for a couple days.

Put a 50 50 mixture of the satin and gloss in the gun and sprayed it. Polished it off with the 4000 grit (wet) to get rid of any small plicks which it did well. Found a white speck in my black. Really!? WTF. Polished most of that out and put a dot of black marker over it to hide the rest. Done.

 

Thought I was installing today. Apparently not. I wanted to do today because it's not raining. Tomorrow it's is - oh yay. Hopefully we can dodge the raindrops otherwise he has to bring his big azz trailer to put it in.

 

Got the conference table installed today. The wall wasn't as bad after we installed the angle aluminum and then pushed the table against the wall. Only slight gaps at either end and not worth scribing.

 

getting lazy in our old age are we?

 

Whatchoo talk'n bout Willis?

 

Never seen a five person conference table before.
Great work as always though
Lunch table?

6 person.

It's a small conference room. They have a bigger conference room with a generic table.

 

4ft by 8ft. Not exactly small. It's what they asked for.

I got paid, what do I care?

 

Good job Leo.

It looks great, I bet they love it..

 

The secretary left a wet spot in the rug. Apparently the door I made is something all their clients comment on.

 

That siding repair just got a lot more interesting. Became cost plus as soon as I started pulling off the damaged siding. Spent about half a day clearing out the raccoon droppings and dead cats in the crawlspace with a rake and tub. Got a mini-ex coming next week to dig the building out of the dirt so I can start getting jacks under it and repairing the framing. Suspiciously easy to source the siding, so I'm guessing something else is going to bite me in the ass 😆. Oh, and since it's a museum, I got interviewed by the local historical society, I felt like a dumber, hairier Bob Villa walking them around the building explaining how wood sash windows and lap siding work 😆.

 

Oh yea!!! Yummy
