Yup

 

Knotty Oaks, a custom we are building in Castell. Superintendent gets back from vacation Monday, we have final walk through scheduled before we vacuum out the stud cavities and get the MEP inspection and spray foam.

They are killing me on the windows, it's going to end up sitting because the designer and client went months past their deadline on the Selections Priority Calander. She's OK with it so thats good, just not great for cash flow lol

What's all the blocking for in the garage?

 

Kyak racks

 

I guess I’ll have to tell him to get into kayaking then he can store them outside as a buffer and the town can’t be mad😂

 

After the final inspection have him put up screens on that side. Doubtful they would do anything.

 

Busy morning. Kim running things today. Bart home with Covid, sick as heck. Kevin, pm for Legacy Concrete has Covid.

 

Tight residential neighborhood.

 

Easier way to put a smile on a builders face is to see a bunch of trucks on their site. The tight lot lines suck, we have Teo that are lot line to lot pine, makes the houses we build on ranches that much more fun

 

Finally finished up this window install.

 

This patio was an optical illusion before….. so we’re re-doing it. Pretty sure initial guys didn’t compact anything, shoot grades, or pull strings. F#%king pathetic especially on a 4 million dollar home….. but I have to say I make a lot of money redoing jackass work!

A bit beefy, but nice looking. Who gets to cut the glass and glaze them in?

Beefy? It's a 24x24. 3 1/2" bottom, 2 1/2" stiles and top rail with a 5/8 wide bars. Again, beefy?

Ya, beefy. Most of the windows I've ever made the max was 2" except sometimes the bottom rail. 18th century reproductions. Usually 12 over 12s or 12 over 8s But 9s and 6s were common enough.

Match exactly what was there from the early 1870s. Previous to 1870, the divided light bars are much wider, almost an 1"

Also never seen a wood sash that didn't have a 3 or 3 1/2" bottom rail any where around the midwest. The guys making "production" sashes make every part 2.5" wide, looks lazy.

Sash loses an inch by the time you account for blind stops and window stops.

Back lit, stood-off signage for one of the largest trade schools I have seen! This school is massive!! Everything from construction, to nursing, to aviation, to farm and animal tech. Signage was 40' to the top and 12' wide.

Finished this up last night. No big change other than new Diamond Coat LP siding. Now on to next job. Day off to clean trailer and get new material. To hot to work anyways.

That makes more sense, not many people like storms these days. I like them in old buildings.

Storm windows are disposable, ie cheaper than sashes, and a good way to keep the conditioned air inside the building. When they spring for storms and screens, I'm really happy.

That pattern made me dizzy😂

 

Got the floor tile done, now I’m starting on the walls.

 

Did you tile over the existing mud base floor?
I Had 1 customer that insisted on it and i did it only once . so far its holding up for 8 years.

 

Yes. This is my parents bathroom, it’s a combination of helping them(they’re 4 months into their diy remodel so far) and also practicing my tile skills somewhere there is a little more understanding if it’s not perfect. My Dad was hell bent on saving the mud bed (and way too many other things-don’t get me started) I told him all the downsides, he wouldn’t budge and I didn’t want to fight it, it’s not like it’s a paying customer and a standard warranty.

 

Just finished a balcony today and I broke this clients bird bath so I ordered her a new one. Here's the message I got. Lol

We undermounted a 33" sink into a 27" cabinet this afternoon:

 

Nice transformation.

Surprises me you have a Festool drill.

Tom

 

Thanks, but why is having a Festool drill surprising please?

Most don’t like the cost, especially when employees are involved.

For the record I have a couple of dozen of them.

Last one assembled

Now I just have more exterior trim to make, all the interior, the roof section over it, window stops for 8 windows, lots of priming, glass, lots of painting, ugh.
