Set a silverware drawer today. The drawer is in place on move in day, I go over the layout with the home owner, remove the drawer, fabricate the insert, reset the drawer.

How did you keep the utensils from falling out the side of those drawers?

I made a kitchens worth of those. And I've learned I hate making them.

 

Because the pics were sideways. LOL

 

Bisected a faucet hole with the cutout for the new sink in engineered stone. Had to fix it.

 

Not the most invisible fix I've seen from you. But that fix is a pretty difficult one. On a scale of 1-10 it's a 10.5

 

Thanks Kap.

That picture is taken 6" away. Here is standing at the sink. She told her husband "It's fine."

 

I'm not saying anything bad about it. I know it's a very difficult repair to make disappear. Usually your repairs are invisible, this one is not. It's not screaming repair either. It's also probably one of those repairs that if you didn't know it was there you'd never see it. The only reason we can see it is you pointed it out.

 

It's part of the cultured design.
Man made, right. :thumbsup:

Little weekend repair/upgrade for my Dads trailer.

Now he can run the jacks down with a drill

Machined down some bolts to they would fit inside the jack and then welded them in.

 

Today's fun...
344 Hardie shakes to paint, plus our exterior trim package.

Anyone ever rack these shakes for spraying before? I've only considered hanging them from a wire so far.

Why not spray them after they are on the house?

 

Not sure.
I don't really want to go through all that prep though.
Boss also said no.

If I wanted them painted before they go up I’d buy factory painted.

 

Thanks for that tidbit of information Johnson.

IMO, I want all buried/ cut/ butt joints at least primed even when caulked. I've seen too much of that stuff fail from not being sealed on the exterior side.

I prefer to paint after it’s installed for the reasons you and DWB mentioned. Most around here prefer the prefinished though.

 

It comes pre primed. We use Rain Buster or some other one part polyurethane, it works very well here.

 

Never seen a job with prefinished Hardie myself. Paint with Sherwin Williams Super Paint or Emerald, 2 coats

 

That realtor house I started that thread about called out prepainted Hardie

 

Best of both world is best. Pre (prime and) finish 1st coat. Install and then apply the final coat to get the uninterrupted coating on everything.

 

Smartside is more popular now, my siding supplier said they sell the **** out of prefinished and none of the primed stuff, both fiber and OSB. Big box stores stock the primed but you have to special order the prepainted.

I used SP on SS but a few years ago tried BM Aura, after that I never went back to SW.

 

What is the BM Aura? I use SW Superpaint on primed Hardie. Spray 1 coat before install, then roll/ cut in a finish coat after caulking. Works good for me, but maybe your stuff is better?

 

Little deck roof that someone else started before running away.

Certainly didn’t know what he way doing. Had to extend every post. The worst was 28” short

That's a nasty one to step into. How did you decide to fasten them together? Bolts?

 

love this chit... my favorite part of the build...

 

Set trusses this morning on a small addition, only 65' long.

 

Looks good Tin.

Looks like a ranch crashed into a colonial doing 55 down the highway.

 

Very cool, Tin.

Looks like a nice addition going on there.:thumbsup:

 

New job started yesterday. Will be same color, steel siding. Number of things to redo right, namely flashing.
