Looks good for the most part. I didn't realize it had a metal roof. If you didn't tell me it was for a church I might have been OK with it. But it doesn't look churchy. LOL
 
Interior trim is done for the front door, thank you Leo I had more than enough trim👍

I went to install the Baldwin lockset but they sent her an inch and three-quarter back set and the hole is drilled an inch and 3/8😡

i’ll get a picture when everything‘s done, I made a small oak threshold to cover up the discrepancy in the floor of the new entryway, I have plenty of lumber from the oak tree. I cut down when I built my shop so I’m always making the thresholds custom using local oak👍

Its a real church, can confirm. I'm not a scribler, it looks just like the drawings- but I like it

Metal roofs are considered an upgrade here, I don't instlal shingles. Mechanical lock 24 gage standing seam or tile
 
Slate, 50-100 year roof.
 
Worked. 3 holes, 3 nests.
 
Starting a new custom in Llano County on a 300 acre ranch. Cleared and brought in the road and power, drilling well. Building a house and guest house 5330 sq ft, and 2400 sq ft barn

Took out 2 major rivals on this one, both in their 60s bot men I respect - and one that is a rival I openly dislike and it's mutual, we both flipped each other the bird at last years Parade of Homes banquet. Sweet winning anytime but we were selected without consideration for the price difference, our fees are higher and our subs are higher 👍

You gotta point. Rubber slate then.

What happens after the hail comes and all the metal is dented up? Is it left or will insurance replace it? I ask because I don't know. Our hail is rarely bigger than marble size.

I sign a cosmetic waiver thst says I won't claim if it's dented but not leaking, also 7500 deductible to keep cost of the premium down

About 80% of my clients are the same, with cosmetic waivers - 90% of haul storms we have don't dent 24 gage - if it does they have to pay to replace if they have a waiver.
 
I used a rubber slate product probably more than 2 decades ago. Looked nice. They all came from the same mold so up close that looked exactly the same. From the road you couldn't tell. Made from recycled tires. It's still up there as I drive by the house a dozen or more times a year.
 
I saw a couple jobs with the rubber slate. Ones I saw were shiny when the sun hit and was the only way to tell it was fake. No One followed the install instructions so the few I heard of all had issues. Seemed like a really great alternative as slate does require maintenance.
 
Turned an unused office into a spa room. Infrared kit sauna, new engineered floors, some birch contemporary chair rail with a blue stain and flat poly, and a custom printed mural.

Couldn't find a paperhanger so I did it myself, got a whole new level of respect for the guys that do it full time. The print is like a vinyl, so if you have too much tension on it while you're applying it it will stretch and the image won't line up 😬.

The sauna has a Blaupunkt sound system in it, super good sound quality, I was really impressed. Max temp setting is 170°, which seems wild to me, but I've never been in a sauna so what do I know. I was taking pictures while my helper went to the truck for plates, I know somebody will say something 😆.
