I keep telling myself I need to buy one...
I hate marking them more than anything else I guess

Funny you say that. I had an old wheelbarrow I wanted to get rid of, so I drove through a new track house subdivision. I saw a fenced in dumpster spot, so I left the wheelbarrow there, thought a crew might need it 😃
Drove through there a week later and they were using it, so glad I helped them out.

You would use a tracksaw on super long tapers on roof rafters like that? isn't that overkill? It's ok, you can tell the truth, nobody's watching

Get a track saw. You’ll wonder why you didn’t buy it years ago.

Finishing a kitchen a home owner did. He's done most of the other cabinets in the house and did an OK job on them. He wants me to do the sink wall and then make all the doors for the other cabinets. It's a long cabinet at 110" plus 2 end panels that extend out another 25 1/2" on either side for a total of 161" of cabinet run. It'll have a stainless steel farm sink on the left.
Just starting out. Face Frame and some door parts. Gonna be slab drawer fronts.

Have to make 3 drawers for another cabinet in the room along with their corresponding drawer fronts.

Wow...one piece. That will weigh a few pounds.
Won't be that bad, only 4 drawers. If it was a bunch of drawer banks man, that would be heavy.
1.5 sheets of 3/4, 4pr drawer slides, almost 3/4 sheet of 1/2". 90+28+36+12 so about 165lbs. 85lbs for each guy. It will be awkward because of it's size. I get to handle it by myself while it's in the shop but no back for most of the time.

Not using helical piers? At this point I wouldn't even consider digging tubes.

Original plan was to reuse 8 existing footings (based on previously "inspected" deck that was there)
When we got the deck demo'd, there were only 6 and 4 weren't even close. Mason is bringing an auger on his machine
Next one will get helicals

Nice, do they require big foots for the bottom of the tubes? Once I had to start digging 2ft wide holes for them I went to helical. My excavator digs trenches and uses the pre cast square ones and is reasonable price wise but helical is so much less invasive.
Good luck look forward to seeing some finished pics.

Doors and drawer fronts done today.

Did the milling of the stiles, rails and panels yesterday. Today I cleaned up the drying room of all kinds of color samples that haven't seen the light of day for a decade, so I chucked them. Primed the panels and then assembled the doors, made the slab drawers and primed both sides. Sanded the doors, sized them and put the edge profile on them.
Been having an issue with the thermostat in the drying room. Been happening since I put the heating system in. Turning on the fan cools the drying room thermostat faster than the room seems to cool. So the heat stays on longer than it should. I think I finally figured it out. The hole where I fished the wire through can get outside air when the fan is on. I suspect the cooler air outside the room reduces the temperature of the thermostat more than the room actually cools. So I took it off the wall and put a pc of 1/2" rigid insulation behind the thermostat with a hole only big enough for the wire to fit through. Screwed the thermostat back on the wall and then put a pc of tape over the wire hole anyway just in case. Put it back together. Couldn't test it very well as the temp in the shop was 68F so it wouldn't show well enough. It's going to be cold in a couple of days so I'm sure I'll figure out if it solved the issue. Pretty sure I wouldn't have to deal with this if there was no 17,000 CFM fan ... lol

That would involve actual work, so count him out
They're all stain samples. All custom. All I've been doing is paint. So I doubt I'll need them any time soon. Drying room looks odd. I have another full 8' of rack freed up to put painted stuff on to dry. Still a long way to go to clean up the room completely. Plus the hallway into the sprayroom has all kinds of oops leaning against the wall that I swear at when I'm moving something big through there.Now that you chucked the samples, you're going to need them right?!...
A few of a guest/weekend house on the Llano River. For just 2k Sq ft was well laid out, 3 bedrooms, Jack and Jill, powder bath and laundry room
Main house will be substantial, on a 125 acres across the road they own, was supposed to be a 2024 start, but he's a big wig in a production home company, he's not making chit in 2023 so I won't hold my breath.
I have a nother custom, 3200 sq ft living, 4600 under roof starting 5 lots down from this one, right at a mil, and we passes on a nother house 3 doors down in the other direction yesterday, they had accepted our budget but we changed our business model on projects per year and it didn't make the cut.
This little subdivision is in the middle of no where, 20 mins from small town, and ot was a 5th gen ranch until the old man died, his grandkids subdivided his ranch ans sold put in a day in 2019, 125k a lot, 115 ft wide, 550' long. A year and a half ago I offered 258k on a lot that sold originally for 125k and was listed for 280k, someone bid 285k and got it. I thought what a dumb ass - until he sold it for 360k a couple months ago.... people flipping lots lol
I have three lots in Kings Cove off LBJ that are tax valued at 300% more rhan i paid for them in 2016, my horseshoe bay lots doubled and i wouldnt sell for tripple. I dont sell lots unless im building the house, and ill wait until they are worth tripple or more and collect my lot money plus my build fee. The whole stradegy was to pick up attractive lots to get the house, you want the lot i build the house. I can't take credit and say I knew I could make a chunk on the lots too.
Its cooled off a lot but i dont see anything thats not low or median end lower in cost yet
PS im not a fan of the serving wondows, or the little anemic looking eating bar below it
