Thought I was installing today. Apparently not. I wanted to do today because it's not raining. Tomorrow it's is - oh yay. Hopefully we can dodge the raindrops otherwise he has to bring his big azz trailer to put it in.

The Japanese are good like that. They manufacture goods for their people in their country and good for export overseas.

Got the conference table installed today. The wall wasn't as bad after we installed the angle aluminum and then pushed the table against the wall. Only slight gaps at either end and not worth scribing.

Never seen a five person conference table before.
Great work as always though
Lunch table?

 

[Leo G]

6 person.

It's a small conference room. They have a bigger conference room with a generic table.

4ft by 8ft. Not exactly small. It's what they asked for.

I got paid, what do I care?

The secretary left a wet spot in the rug. Apparently the door I made is something all their clients comment on.

That siding repair just got a lot more interesting. Became cost plus as soon as I started pulling off the damaged siding. Spent about half a day clearing out the raccoon droppings and dead cats in the crawlspace with a rake and tub. Got a mini-ex coming next week to dig the building out of the dirt so I can start getting jacks under it and repairing the framing. Suspiciously easy to source the siding, so I'm guessing something else is going to bite me in the ass 😆. Oh, and since it's a museum, I got interviewed by the local historical society, I felt like a dumber, hairier Bob Villa walking them around the building explaining how wood sash windows and lap siding work 😆.

Oh yea!!! Yummy

Made a hidden door cabinet using the SOSS 518 hinge. Spendy hinge that's for sure.

Used a normal door latch mechanism without the handle. I fabricated a handle that would remain hidden under normal circumstances.

I took this picture before I modified the handle a bit more. Gave it a twist so the handle didn't sag.

This is the original door that the cabinet will replace.

The cabinet in the open position

The door is closed and latched. The gap will be covered with a molding. Probably 2 moldings, one on the outer perimeter and a smaller molding to cover the gap/margin. The design of the hinge is specifically designed to have a molding over the gap and for it to open and push away so the overlap of the molding doesn't interfere with the opening of the door/cabinet.

 

[Snobnd]

That’s a nice hinge!

What was the cost per unit?

 

[Leo G]

I got it for $218 each in Jan

They are now $234

Crazy stupid price. Really not even close to worth it but there is no 3rd party copy yet.

Slammed out a gas station lighting job yesterday, 24 flatpanels. Was already wired with flex, saved us a lot of time. Had to do a couple j-boxes where the old florescent fixtures had 4 hits in them, but otherwise suspiciously smooth sailing. Going back tomorrow to fix the exposed wiring on the outside of the station.
