I did that to my sub. Sent him pictures of the fire pit and asked if was interested. When he came to price it, asked if he wanted to do the fence posts, too.

 

RDI elevation pre strung cable rails. First time using and me and my carpenter did these 2 section in 2.5hrs. We did watch the install video before we starting which really helped. Pretty cool system but the top rail is a bit beefy for my taste.

 

Nice. What's that setup cost you to buy?

 

So for 2 stair sections and 1 strait section it was just over 2k. That does include an extra stair post as I wasn't sure I could get the stairs in 1 shot. I have steps to do on the other side of the addition for the 3rd section.

Their avalon was $2,600 with the tools and I would have needed 2 posts at the stair transition. I like how you don't see the terminations of the cable and was surprising simple to tighten.

Pretty nifty with the pre strung sections. Finehomebuilding had a small article about them stating it is about $100/ft.

Clean look. I get "regular wrought iron" in solid aluminum stock, powder coated, installed for around $200/ft. That's a nice option I'll look into. Thanks

 

Finally done with the deck, clients get back this weekend then we will discuss the lattice under the deck and perhaps sheet rocking the basement. I probably won’t be done with the house until the end of August which is when I started last year with this monster.😂

I do have a few surface scratches that I’m not happy about, when I was using the track and the track saw. Apparently it left a few marks right at the top of the stairs.😡 not deep.

 

Going to be a busy summer, turning one over to the owners tomorrow and starting one today, turning another over in August and starting another in August, doctors office starts in fall. This one's on Buchanan lake, council bluffs

 

Running conduit under my sidewalk for a generator I’m putting in at my house. I used the power washer method. I had to go about 52” to get under my sidewalk at a 45* angle. Worked great but was messy

Nice, we have a new Mod....

 

I think as contractors we allowed to post stuff of our own personal project. 🤣

 

We’ll. It’s my current job.

 

 

Why no railing on the long side? The grass looks like artificial turf.

 

Less than 30 inches anyway

 

Lovers leap.

 

They didn't want railing there. Deck is only 26" high. Yes it's artificial turf.

 

Got the shop part lined. Have pull off for a few weeks to do some siding

 

Looks really nice!

 

Week three on this framing project. Crews doing well. The GC's super is keeping the material flowing on this tight site.

 

 

My youngest son has been helping me frame this little place in Hickory NC. Douglas fir t&g and beam extensions under the soffits, and for the 8x8 posts. Had a custom steel deck structure fabricated for the front. 10’ high basement and 12’ main floor ceiling. Tall! Going to be real neat when finished.

 

Groovy, looks great. We like a mono- slope to frame too! We are about an hour north- west of Hickory.

 

Gotta weird angle on a molding, 42-48 and it is a small crown. So I cut the 42º angle because it's simple, just tilt the saw. And then I took that 42º and cut it on a block and glued it to the table with 2P-10 (luv that stuff) and just pushed the molding through with the blade at a 90. I was a bit worried about stability and especially the last foot or so. But no real issues, nothing scary at all.

This was just a test, the real pcs were 16 footers.

 

Well, it was suppose to be kind of a throw away temp table. Pretty sure my brother is going to keep that for a while.

 

A throw away table is 4 sticks of twisty pine from HD with a square of scrap plywood nailed on.

That thar what you made is "FURNITURE", son. Heirloom piece!

 

I stole, actually, I traded a nail gun for a nice piece of black walnut that was sitting on Leo’s shelf😂

 

He does that a lot.

 

Starting to put those cabinets I've been griping about painting together. Got the 4 lowers put together. Probable going to need some help to put the backs on the two upper cabinets. Have to make sure everything stays lined up straight on the bottom so they'll lay flat on top of the other cabinet. Or maybe I'll make a small molding to make sure it looks clean.

120"

90"

117"

73"

 

For a sandwich I could be compelled to lend a hand?

 

Or maybe some walnut?...

 

You mean for a hamburger today you'd gladly help me on Tuesday

 

I'm to lazy to go to HD when I have stacks of wood in my wood bank.

And it ain't furniture in my book if it's held together with pocket screws.
