I think he had said they were CNC'd when he first mentioned the project

I set some form work on that footing I did a couple weeks ago. Had to wait on the plumber to get his pipes in the ground.

I left a section out so I can run the stone base in this week.

Then the forecast is for rain and snow this week, so I went back today and put tarps on the whole thing.

 

Big tarp!

 

2 tarps actually, the foundation is 24X48. Biggest I could get today was 30X50, but with the plumbers pipes sticking up I knew that wouldn't be enough, so I decided to add a 20X30 to make sure everything was covered. 200 bucks or so of protection.

Kinda windy on this site....I hope they're still in place after the weather.

 

Starting on my last major job of the year. Get new siding, steel, new soffit , fascia and gutters. Like these that can do off step ladders.

Spent the last week working on this built in/fireplace remodel.

Before we started, the homeowner got a very rare concession out of me and I knocked my price down four hundred bucks. It was probably a little overbid anyway, and I really wanted the project.

When we finished today, the guy pays me, hands me the biggest bottle of Larceny bourbon I've ever seen, then tries to give me four hundred extra bucks. He says "this looks awesome, don't ever discount your work again."

I thanked him for the work, put the four hundred back on the counter, grabbed the Larceny, and headed off to the next job. Damn good day overall.

Got the exteriors finished, whole house and garage is standing now. Started back inside on the double wall and interior layout today. Sucks to layout the staggered studs but I'm geeking hard on the building science so it's an incredibly fun build.

Also got power hooked up today so that's a nice change!

Are you using fiberglass for both walls with Polly on the inner most wall?

Do the window openings get ply to close the gap or just left as is?

 

New start, Lake Buchanan

Are you actively having a ****in stroke right now lol?

 

Kids play house is done, just need to get a handle set for the door to replace the old one. They want to add some shelfs, the oldest one will help me. Lol. I might build a small deck on it with scraps after deck season this year. Them concrete steps came off a rental and fit well

Pit is in my ******* kitchen, added onto the stack and moved damper. Setting appliances tomorrow

"Lonestar hillbilly" gave my monitor a good beer wash!

 

You're a hillbilly if you say you're going to decorate with some shells, and they aren't sea shells.

Jaws, whatcha decorating with?

 

Passive house coming along. Down my journeyman all this past week so basically me framing and teaching the 18 and 19 year old apprentices all by myself, but we had a good time. Exteriors wrapped with 1 window to punch in still, double wall all in, basement prepped, technoposts drilled in for all the decks, and started interiors. I liked this little 45° window detail for the kitchen sink so I threw that picture in too.

And yes, that is a coat as my flag. The guy who took the week off kept sending me pictures of skiing so... payback was required lol.

All I can think about when looking at that is how freaking cold it is. It was 50 here one day last week and I thought about quitting early because I was so damn cold.

 

Client wanted to be done before Christmas so they can have their 11 leaf table setup in this new addition... mission complete!

 

Chairs and barstools are 10 weeks put do to covid [emoji38] but otherwise the country kitchen is done

Going to build a steel wood rack and lay a leftover granite slab in the angle iron on top for meat prep on right side of my pit

Personal vanity. Completed the final fab and did the granite install myself. Granite guys did the shop fab work. Still need to finish the face frame and fronts...lol! [emoji12]

 

Cutting it close for it to be a Christmas gift

 

Looks great Jaws.

Andrew,

What‘s the plan for the exposed plywood edge?

Tom

 

I am pushing for clear coated 1/4 sawn white oak FF with flush, inset slab doors and drawer fronts. May be Ash as an option also.

 

That’s plain sawn, see if you can get a sheet so you can match the grain.

RSWO and walnut grain matched.

Tom

 

Nice bathroom andy.

Your work looks tight, but who chose that mosaic?

Well, wrapped up the site today at noon, and had a bit of a pizza lunch with the boys. Best we could manage for a Christmas party lol. Got the whole house and garage ready for trusses, laid out, backing in. Got started on the front deck, our trusses will carry through for a covered front section. Site was completely cleaned, tarped and delineated so we can find it if it snows.

Wind was howling and snow was flying, any of you southern deck guys want to come up and lend a hand [emoji6][emoji23]

Ready for a break that's for sure [emoji106]

HK-s

and

really? WTF????

The HK-s worked really well Leo.

Tom

 

Could have used an HK-XS on that tiny door.

How many people said they didn't scuff that finish?

I don’t bother asking anymore. Just put it on the things to do list.
