I had a fun day, found an unexpected window that was under a deck that I am now replacing with the new deck.

 

Man, that's ugly.

 

Here's the kitchen I was working on installed. The appliances need to be put into place, the DW needs to be installed so I can put the panel on it. The studded area is where a wrap around bench is going that I'll be building eventually. All Euro styling, push to open doors and drawers so no handles.

How did you stand that pantry box up in that room?:blink:

 

Finally, something I'm excited about.
Starting this one on Monday. The job is three hours away and the expected timeline for our scope of work is three months.
Scope includes footing, foundation, framing to lock up, and then siding and exterior finishes.
More might be added as we go along, and it'll be dependant on whether subs will be available for the interior finishing.

You gonna sleep in your van???

 

 

Got those doors installed. Not sure if they'll ever be used to let a car into the space. More for large access, but you never know.

Installed a bunch of hardware. Hold open bars, Slide lock for the top and bottom of the stationary door, rings for a padlock that got mortised into the meeting edges of the door and a thumb latch to open the normally moving door.

From inside

 

Why the thumb latch on the inside?

Wondering minds.

D.

Beautiful. BTW.

 

That's what was on the original doors and the Father wanted everything to be the same. Plus it wasn't my job, I provided the doors and some labor to put them up. I was told this is the hardware, where it went according to the original doors and I installed it, case closed.

It has a ring on both doors for a padlock. The right door (from the outside) has locking slides into the upper jamb and concrete floor so that door is pretty secure. The other one is held closed by the old fashion door latch and the padlock rings. Not a lot of crime in that area and everyone knows everyone. It's a gated area to get in.

Plus I think because the astragal for the doors being on the inside prevented the thumb latch from being on the outside. Just following orders.

I thought it was something like that.

Ah, I didn't see the astragal in the pic at first, this leads me to believe someone previously hung the doors backwards and thus the need for the padlock and rings.

Those lashes do a nice job at holding the stationary door in place

 

Those were great. And the pull chain to release them works very easily and every time.

 

Excessive setup to cut kerdi board? Maybe, but it worked really well and almost 0 dust

I'll get the front of the deck in tomorrow after we get the tub faucet valves mounted

Some of me doing this job was because it was for my sister and brother-in-law, some was because I just wanted to know if I and my machine could handle it...yep it/I can! Borrowed some 13' tube "fork extensions" from a sub. I was able to pick this 8x12 shed up and move it on my sister's property so my brother-in-law could finish his fence project. Kinda fun.

 

All you needed was 100 Amish people.

 

Tore down some crappy 5” gutters and we put up 6” copper. Was 88 degrees and I’m beat. Going back next week to install some gutter guards.

Nice project. We are ising that green span product out here, it's nice. Better than tyvec because can use wackertacker and don't need cap nail.

 

Thanks Because of the wind we have at time I use the cap nails so it does not get sucked off the wall. Use to use roofing nails , but had to much trouble with the wind.

 

B crew on a nasty location. Floor trusses with upper full loft. Overhead power line, steep back to right, sloped up to left, and hard slop up with trees behind.

The permitting process was a nightmare the town wanted 16 inch piers, We had to hire a soil engineer to give us a compression ratio of 3000 pounds per square foot I only had to change one out to a 14. In the center.

 

So the latest code made 14" footings the standard. It mathematically works better with pounds per square foot as formulated since it's round.

Not always a big deal on the ends but the center of any structure carries the greatest tributary load and should always be bigger. People just make them all the same out of convenience.

 

Ah, rats.

Nine to be exact.

Isn’t that just the cheap plastic woven house wrap?

 

Nope :no: 1/4" fanfold siding underlayment.

 

We made up some extension forks a few months ago. Did a muriatic acid bath wathed it down with strong vinegar, then rubbed it over with steel wool.

Painting them with industrial grade acrylic.

Had some hold ups but we polished this beast off yesterday.

Hands down crowning achievement of my residential career.

 

My Malarkey shingle rep wants that roof on their website and next Windsor brochure.

 

Nice Andy! Glad you finally got that one wrapped up.
