Got the handles put onto the cabinet job I finished up last week. Used my new hardware jig and it worked very well. I put tape onto the main adjuster to keep things from slipping on the paint which is already slippery enough. The worked very well. Used the stop for the two swinging doors and then everything else was centered with a tape measure.

The "kit" I made for the jig isn't as complete as I would like. Still a couple of items it needs to just be able to bring the box in and go. I neglected to put a philips bit in there and had to do so. A space for some masking tape would be nice and a tape measure. Maybe a small 6 footer, that would be more than necessary for 99% of the jobs.

First few houses on the street coming along well. I think we've got 52 units sold so far, about 30 lots at various levels of completion. 14 totally framed and either at siding or interior stages. Rest are either at footings or ready for framing.

Edit: the subdivision will be over 350 units when completed. Mostly singles with a few semi detached and townhomes thrown in. We're not doing all of them of course, but we will probably have almost half if the owner has his way.

Tall suckers.

Yep. Side effect of small lots.

The subdivisions with bigger lots are nicer.

Were the tall units singles or duplex? The color scheme makes me think duplex.

Singles. We haven't built any duplexes yet.

Looks like you use the same screw cutting tool that I use, but I think I'm over cutting them on site and dealing with the burrs. My next hardware order is for every conceivable length of 8-32 screws.

Are you doing it correctly? The screw you want to save goes into the top of the tool into the threaded part and the drop goes into the non threaded area. That forces you to unscrew the new end and it chases the thread for you. At best you might have to take a single swipe with a sanding block to remove a small burr. I haven't worried about it and these crimper/cutters aren't anything special. Bought them a decade ago when I was cheap.

My buddy took this picture of me on a job 10 minutes ago. My wife called so I figured ifI’m going to be on the phoneI might as well be comfortable.

Sunroom job that I started months ago and because of delays and problems with windows we basically pulled off the job for quite awhile and just now hitting it hard again. I will post pics of the exterior later. Finished the siding today.

There's a few out there of me with my truck door open and my boot hooked in between the door and frame on the phone 😆

My Deck Job from hell, this was supposed to be a simple strip and re-face, technically in my state I don’t even need a permit but the association wanted me to go through the process which took over a month, they approved the job two days before my vacation, I came back sick so I missed two days of when I was supposed to start, I could not get the delivery of my materials… so into the second week.

I took care of all the framing issues the second day of the job and the third day I put down all the deck boards but one of them was damaged and I was short one board, 7/8 of an inch to be exact, and the other one I was going to use as a kickboard so it would match the deck.

My supplier said I’ll get you the boards Thursday, sorry they didn’t come I can have it for you next Tuesday, sorry they didn’t make it on the truck….wtf, so yesterday I drove to Foxborough Massachusetts and picked up the boards cut them to size and finally finish today!

dam!

You don't order a couple extra?

 

[Snobnd]

Some of the colors I can ask for extra boards and return them because they always have a large pallet or two on hand, But this was Trex gravel path and they are non-returnable, I also can’t put them under the deck for the client since it’s an association and that is Forbidden

Did a grain wrap, miter-fold mantle for the great room addition. Turned out pretty good. Used an aging liquid instead of a stain and it was exactly what my client wanted color wise. Mason will come back and point up around the finished mantle. Have a good 4th everyone!!

Hopefully finish the last one over the weekend.

Nice....

What I always find interesting is that a customer will look at that and consider it "solid wood" not knowing end-grain characteristics, because it's executed in such a way that they can't find the start/stop...
