Working on a weird one...

These were delivered and installed prior to my going home a few weeks ago. Met Ed at the jobsite to go over a few things. He asked where the missing items were. Each unit was complete before I left, we have no clue where the missing pieces are.

Working on figuring out what happened to them.......hopefully the owner took them to match some decorating items.

File this under WTF, who the hell, what the hell....

Long story---made longer;

I walked into the home to prep and shoot the vent hood (more on that next post). First thing I see is the drawer in the mud room cabinet. Ask the electrcian standing there if he saw who put it in----nope.

Text Ed--I have to ask, who had the doors (had not been through the entire house yet) and drawers, his response---what?....took the pictures and sent them to him, text me back, he was there in the morning and they were not there. Well they're sure as hell there now.

No clue who had them.

Still missing the doors.

Tom

 

Odd that they would take 2 doors off of one unit.

 

Odd anything is gone. Baffeled by this one.

Tom

 

Reach out to the interior designer or painter? Happens to me all the time. Then when they return them damaged will want you to fix 'em!

 

Ed is asking around, hopefully they turn up, if not we'll have to make and finish new ones.

Tom

 

I had my daughter cutting soffit for me today. First time she has ever ran a saw. She did good! All ready for the truss now!

 

#6 bars in place and welded.

That’s actually going to be adequate?

 

The 2 missing doors placed on the vanity in the shop. Drawer face in the office.

They were installed when we left the house.

Tom

 

So what about the drawers. Were the drawer fronts disconnected from the drawers? So did you find everything?

Missing PDF :laughing:

 

Boxes, faces and doors, gone.

Found nothing, those are pictures of the units in the shop at various stages of finish/assembley.

I was at the job today fitting the farm sink that came in. Took pictures and sent them to Ed.

Time for a remake and finish.

Tom

 

Man that really sucks. I hate remaking stuff when I screw up. But making them because someone lifted them, that's gotta be the worst. Can't say I've ever heard of that. Sounds like someone f'n with you if it wasn't someone taking them for design aspects.

 

The part I dislike the most is the need to finish them. Of course they're differnt colors, the dark ones have a dark Surfacer under the top coat. A lot of change over.

I'm sure many will laugh, but I a pretty nice guy. Anyone has a question, problem, issue I'm more than willing to help. Even get along with my primary competition. Not sure what's going on, but I'm hoping it's not some animus.

Tom

 

If you haven't exceeded your mil limits for finishing I would suggest refinishing all the cabinet parts instead of just the missing ones. Obviously not the cabinet itself as you don't want to take it out and reinstall it. That way you don't have to worry about a slight mismatch in the parts. I know how tough it can be to get them the same color, tone, reflectivity when they are done weeks apart. Paint isn't as hard as to reproduce a stain, but it can still be difficult to reproduce. Especially if it's coming out of a different can.

 

I was going to wait until the posts were finished to take the last pic but I couldn't. Fit like a glove...slightly snug. Here a before and after.

 

Photoshopped :laughing:

Tom

 

Looks great Andrew.

Job I wrapped up today. Railing should be in next week.

 

A "keep up with the Jonses" little job. Did the floor tile, chair rail and crown a few months ago. I did the neighbors also and put up some tile so of course she had to do tile...and I'll see your tile and raise you some upper frames.
Still have to re-grout/caulk some of the gap between the moldings and tile.

Before

After

 

What!? No crown? :laughing:

Looks good. The strip of tile is neat. Don't think I've seen something like that before.

 

I put the crown in 6 months ago. The white you see in the 2nd pic is the bottom of the white crown.

 

I hate how cell phones (on average) don't have a very wide lens. You can't take pics of small rooms.

Which is the reason I have a 10-20mm ultra wide zoom on my DSLR.

 

Have made one of these in a real long time. Not really into it for some reason. I guess I've gotten out of it. But it is what it is and I'm building an entryway for an 18th century house.

I'll be building a jambset for the existing doors which should be interesting since they aren't square, level or parallel. But that gets put in first and the entryway gets overlayed on top of it.


CAD

The pilasters will be fluted and have a few moldings capping it off.
There will be a plinth with some moldings on top of it also.

Made the dentil and another molding and installed them today.

The wood is Red Grandis. Suppose to be good for outside, rot and bug resistant. Most of it mills pretty nice, but I've had a couple of boards that had a lot of stress in them. Really don't like that most of it is under 5 1/2" wide. Makes for a lot of glue ups.

 

Not sure if it is avalible near you, accoya is nice to work with.

$3.60 BF for the Red Grandis

 

Speaking of prices.

Have you ever used knotty Alder? I oredered 30 borad feet the other day, she quoted me 42 dollars for the 30 board feet, with SL1E. I can't believe it's that cheep, I'll find out tomorrow when it comes with the other items ordered.

Tom

 

I love the look of notty alder. Had these corbels hand carved out of it. Also had the cabinets and doors made to match.

Mike.

Redoing this deck. Framing stays. New pvc trim and new mahogany 1x4 decking.

 

Finally found the time to assemble a desk for the shop.

Tom

 

Funny looking wood.

 

I work with many medias.
