Installed.

 

Ahhh.... I could have guessed that. I thought they were a unit as a right angle. That's why I couldn't figure out what it was.

 

When the iron worker and carpenter don’t get along

 

So is this 4 cabinets or 20? Either way they are all sanded now... My shoulder hurts.

Sanding is the bane of my existence.

 

I see 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10...

 

Swapped the trailer back over to a gooser.

Man the ol’ ford didn’t like those hoppers and that tote of water and that steel cart and that stack of wet plywood . But saved me from unhitching the semi to unload first.

This was one of those chores that takes three times as long as it ought to. Worth it for leather seats.

 

 

A pyramid, in upstate New York.

MODS: feel free to delete this video, if it's not allowed. But here's how them face stones got pitched:

Thank you for looking.

 

The 10th wonder of the Earth....!

 

Whoever made it had advanced technology.

 

House special. Plaster, lathe, cellulose, drywall, radiator shields, and bricks. Delivery available.

 

Serve it up with some fava beans and a nice chianti and I'm in.

 

Just putting this here for @Warren I know he doesn't like the messes

 

Just putting this here for @Warren I know he doesn't like the messes

Messes are part of the job. I just don't like walking away leaving a mess, or having to work on top of one.

I find that clearing away stuff as it is removed to be smarter, safer, and more efficient.

 

What mess?

 

Safety schmafety

 

Safety is job one.........

Okay, maybe not job one, but definitely in the top 10.

 

If I am working alone, I can get it up to maybe 7. No radio, skip coffee,

 

But number 8's the whole point of being in business!

 

I've heard of his legendary organization style but haven't seen any pics.

 

Picture a pickup truck cab completely filled with tools, papers, and debris, but for a cutout in the shape of a slender man and a Marlboro. Get in.
Now reach forward and, with your palm, brush away a circle of refuse large enough to see the road through the smoke.

Now you're drywalling like a pro!




I'm exaggerating, but isn't it more fun that way?

 

Miss Rick. Hope he's well

 

I think I could match the quality of taping, but you’re gonna see a little bit more mud on the floor😂

 

We cover the subfloors with plastic and send a clean up crew

 

Client’s been super patient with me on this one. Got to the jobsite at 9pm and grabbed the tractor keys.

 

Line em up!

 

So, not retiring and moving to Idaho? 😂

 

 

Looks like you put some love into that but doesn't the underlying issue remain?...

 

^^^ Reinforced. I said to the city inspector I will just do furring strips on the first-floor studs to level them up too and would not touch joists. Inspector said ok. Yugo way, remember Yugo car? However, GC a women said no do 2X6 for studs and 2X10 for joists like reinforcement. I sistered studs and joists. But the inspector showed up and said you now changed point of load and need engineer to look at it. And the engineer said it will be 4k - 6k. If I did my way the floor would keep sinking but everything would be "OK" and we would not need engineers.
Edit. Should I put furring strips at top of new 2X10s so that above subfloor 1X6es sit at top of 2x10s too. I nailed 2X10s to existing old 2X6es. Furring strips above sit at top of old 2X6es. New 2X10es just touch the subfloor above at maybe 3 joists in length of 5" or so. Put a lot of framing nails to sister joists together, especially in middle.

 

When the inspector showed up 2 weeks ago, he asked me why I do not start to reinforce (frame) second floor roof. We have an engineering plan for it. Imagine setting scaffolding or ladders, it need ladders to rich, for that on such an old floor. Hospitals and graveyards sow many many people who listened to someone else. I learned it, in some extend, hard way.

 

That is some neat stuff.
