The floor looks good, the leveling had to make a bigger difference than the owner will ever know.
These clients have been awesome. I explained the situation, said if they wanted to use the flooring they selected and had already been delivered, we have to do this. Or they could just cover it back up with carpet

They noticed a difference after we used the quick drive to secure the original subfloor, and were amazed at the difference the extra layer of 1/2" made

About 500 sf of floor down, another 1600 to go (in stages)

Finally, something I'm excited about.
Starting this one on Monday. The job is three hours away and the expected timeline for our scope of work is three months.
Scope includes footing, foundation, framing to lock up, and then siding and exterior finishes.
More might be added as we go along, and it'll be dependant on whether subs will be available for the interior finishing.

Here's the kitchen I was working on installed. The appliances need to be put into place, the DW needs to be installed so I can put the panel on it. The studded area is where a wrap around bench is going that I'll be building eventually. All Euro styling, push to open doors and drawers so no handles.

Magic.

The left panel is full length. The right panel only goes down to the deck. We lifted the cabinet up and then put an "L" toekick underneath it.
 
You gonna sleep in your van???
I would, but that won't be necessary.... The boss rented a house for a three month period with the option to extend if necessary [emoji106]

Any more elevation pics? Would be nice to see some of the exterior finishes you will be doing :thumbsup:

Yes, but the plans have changed.... Siding is going to be horizontal and the stone work has been reduced. There will also be additional woodwork (guardrails) added at the patio areas.

Got those doors installed. Not sure if they'll ever be used to let a car into the space. More for large access, but you never know.

Installed a bunch of hardware. Hold open bars, Slide lock for the top and bottom of the stationary door, rings for a padlock that got mortised into the meeting edges of the door and a thumb latch to open the normally moving door.

That's what was on the original doors and the Father wanted everything to be the same. Plus it wasn't my job, I provided the doors and some labor to put them up. I was told this is the hardware, where it went according to the original doors and I installed it, case closed.

It has a ring on both doors for a padlock. The right door (from the outside) has locking slides into the upper jamb and concrete floor so that door is pretty secure. The other one is held closed by the old fashion door latch and the padlock rings. Not a lot of crime in that area and everyone knows everyone. It's a gated area to get in.

Plus I think because the astragal for the doors being on the inside prevented the thumb latch from being on the outside. Just following orders.

I thought it was something like that. :)

Ah, I didn't see the astragal in the pic at first, this leads me to believe someone previously hung the doors backwards and thus the need for the padlock and rings.

Those were great. And the pull chain to release them works very easily and every time.
 
Some of me doing this job was because it was for my sister and brother-in-law, some was because I just wanted to know if I and my machine could handle it...yep it/I can! Borrowed some 13' tube "fork extensions" from a sub. I was able to pick this 8x12 shed up and move it on my sister's property so my brother-in-law could finish his fence project. Kinda fun.
