Added 1400 feet onto a house in Hprseshoe Bay west in 2021, garage, office and butlers pantry. Owner had a medical issue and we had to store all the windows in the garage and leave. Of course when they call to come finish (18 months later) we are covered up with 7 custom homes, a 7 figure renovation and boat dock, a barn, 4 rentals for ourselves and about to start another build. Worse yet we are framing 3 houses right now and about to start a fourth, 4k ft - 16000 sq ft, and we are forming a foundation that pours tomorrow morning amd then we start forming another foundation for the house on that project, so we are short carpenters for sure at 17. So I get to play I guess, idk how I always get the chittiest projects, remodel carpentry isn't my favorite, but alteast we were able to refesme thst whole wall with a a new header so it was pretty short work.

Kitchen remodel, butler pantry and office cabinetry in producfion in our shop right now, going well. Looks like ill be hauling trash this afternoom in my cargo trailer, no room for a fump trailer or one of our roll offs.

I've had 4 or 5 of them put into my kitchens. Always in the island with a drawer below it.

I put in a micro drawer in our last house, first I'd seen, was like a grand and but they gave me a 20% of deal etc

Wife hated it, cleaning is a ***** apparently. I told her I thought it was magic and cleaned itself like my closet and master bath floor is magic, throw a shirt in there and it ends up washed and hanging back up in my closet

So mixed reviews 😆

When i built house we live in now i put it in over the double oven with a trim kit.

It's magic too lol

Such a gorgeous view, And yet that is the smallest deck, I think I’ve seen you build, and it looks like there’s a railing to stop you from going on the deck?

As always mike beautiful work, I just wished he let you go to town and build a Taj Mahal

Yep I pay about 80 bucks for this board through Timbertown, that's about 15 bucks a sq ft plus fastners. I'll check my latest buy on Transcends later, we bought about 1400 sq ft for a deck on our Parade Home for this year. It's considered less.

Bigger the order the better deal I get, to my knowledge we are top tier pricing because we buy TNG wood porch ceilings for all our houses, a bunch of cedar and Doug Fir posts and beams, deck boards, siding and interior stuff too from them. But my discount gets bigger the bigger the package through my outside sales guy

Won't hold up without upkeep.

I used to put down a chit ton of garapa, massamduba, ipe etc but I won't put wood outside anymore. Even 5/4 deck boards and no groove, using a biscuit cutter they move around. I think it's greener chit they are cutting now, even kiln dried and stickered yo dry it more you much. The 20 year old stuff looks better thsn 2 year old stiff now imo. Made a contract notation we don't warranty any wood outside, including soffit and posts about 4 years ago.
