Hang it on a hook.

 

Still needs a receptacle to drip into.

 

Back to big remodel down the street on Sullivan’s Island from one we just finished all the cedar shake on. Pool deck final grade set so we’re building new ipe landing and stair sets leading down from grill deck. Close to complete here.

 

framing and two slabs...

 

My job takes me deep in the middle of another dozen buildings out on the house farm. These are affordable units.

 

173 pairs of drawer slides.....

Tom

 

I have about 20 pair in the shop right now.

 

For the build that starts on Monday.

Watcha building Tom?

 

All the casework for the 2021 Parade home.

One home has that many drawers? Who's going to be wearing out the dovetail bits?

 

Yes. This house has fewer drawers than most by at least 100.

Billy.

Pool bar, stair set and landing, and grill base built out for install.

 

Decided to do a coffered ceiling for the home kitchen reno. More of a galley-style kitchen, and a whole heckuva lot more work than I even thought it would be.

 

Looks good. You should finish off those octagon sections with a medallion if some sort. Something super simple but just causes a slight depth dimension change.

 

Great minds think alike. You are absolutely right. I do have some medallions and trim to add there, but with the cabinets being delivered tomorrow the blitz was on to complete the hardwood flooring.

I had some leftover black galaxy tile so decided to do a floor highlight under each ceiling feature. Had a good chat with my floor tile guy to get some tips and dos and don't before going ahead.

It was a tremendous amount of work, and I don't really get to look at it, with the ramboard and floor protection going down right after a section was installed. Learned a lot of tricks and was fortunate enough to have the precise size router bit I needed to slot the floor panels.

 

Your guard rails are out of code. A kid could scamper right out the bottom of those Xs.

Either getting plexi or wire would be my guess.

 

Hundreds more to go.

Yes, the drawer boxes are solid walnut........

Tom

 

It didn't drill the hole for you!

Walnut drawers?

 

The Grass slides we’re using have a screw on rear bracket. No hole needed.

I looked into a notcher that also drills the rear hole, almost 10K.

Walnut drawers are what the customer requested in this cabinet. Next one has some RSWO and some high gloss drawer boxes under stone and glass counter tops.

I mentioned turning a finial in another thread. Second time ever using a lathe for wood, came out okay seeing as I only had 4 tools to choose from.

Tom

 

Looks real good from here!

 

Here's one we wrapped up today. Was supposed to be a simple 1100' recoat of prefinished floor. Bid it over the phone & via texting back & forth. First time putting eyes on it yesterday. She had told me she had tried coating a hallway herself, but I didn't realize how bad a job she had done & that there was actually 2 halls & a laundry room. About 400 sq ft.

So, a simple one day job, turned into a 2 day job, not so simple. I had to physically scrape the majority of the finish she had put on, back off. If just shattered, no adhesion. Billed her an extra trip charge & T&M for the scraping.

Recoating prefinish isn't as simple as just screening & recoating. New finishes on prefinish, nothing will adhere to it. Floor rep, suggested I coat it with universal sealer (shellac) & poly. So I had her send me sample piece, to do adhesion testing on. US & poly failed. So I tried regular shellac. Better, but still failed adhesion testing. So I had to order prefinish floor recoat kit. Has a bonding agent, followed by water borne finish. A bit more time consuming than a screen & recoat, but not a bad process. Finished the master bedroom before I left yesterday & texted her on the way home, asking what she thought. Said it looked better than it did when it was new & exactly what she wanted.

 

Pin,

You going blind or what Tom? Can't you see those 4 pics?



Actually, I don't type very fast on my phone, so I typed it all out on my puter & went back & edited my post from my phone to upload the pics. You're just too fast on the trigger.

 

Going???? Already blind, comes with old age, or was that blissful youth

I've heard that from a few women

Tom

 

small victories...

 

I was in a hurry, wanted to get the floor graded for concrete on Monday, so I did part of the electricians job for him. Oh, and put the water line in, guess that means I get to charge both plumber and electrician rates?
I'll be back, got to go pick out my chinchilla coat [emoji1787][emoji1787]

Took the spindles out of the stairway in the historic Mansion today. Should make it easier for the painters and us.

 

You sure you don't want to get a flame thrower up in there?

😂😂😂

NOW I see what you're talking about...

 

Pain in the butt wall to wall floor to ceiling built in Walls and floor out of level/plumb just enough to make things difficult. Both walls leaned to the right. The floor sloped to the right. Both corners were under 90º pushing the cabinets to the center. Had to get a bit creative and grind some of the upper cabinet box because things got squeezed because of the lean on the wall. But we persisted and made it work.

Still have to secure the left upper to the counter and the counter to the lower and make some more holes for the TV and put up crown.

Despite the large window in the room we needed lights all day.

Doors on
