Just started laying 18'x18' using the Tuscan Leveling System, man this is a slick way to go. Not cheap, but it does make things easier.

 

As a HO would you accept this quality? Owners hired a cabinet maker and this guy is trying to tell the HO this is the best it gets....

 

serrano thats very poor , what happened did he get paid

 

Tell the HO it does get just a tiny bit better than that when a cabinet maker knows how to use a ruler.

 

Ho thought the revised trim looked acceptable and was happy. Go figure.....$16k for built-ins and kitchen cabinets and this is what you get!

 

:whistling

 

Very nice. Did you go cross eyed straightening all that out?

 

This is a typical $3500 bathroom renovation I just finished.
- gutted shower
- replaced tub
- new vanity, mirror, and cabinet
- removed floor and ply
- installed new ply
- all tiles new
- and paint of coarse

This job took me 4 days to complete. Materials cost $1800 the rest was my cut. Not too bad for 4 days work.

 

Nice work. Do you ever work in Tennessee?

 

Furnace & Heat Pump job!!

Replaced an old gravity furnace. Turned out real nice.

 

Here is a bathroom we finished up a few weeks ago. The family had a nice sized one bedroom apartment in Manhattan. They purchased the studio apartment next door and we're combining the two to make a large 2 bedroom. We should be finished with the second bathroom later this week.

Oops. Ill try to get the pics up. Im much better with wood than computers...I promise.

 

Almost! The difficulty was getting the cables back into the box. This panel is in a little closet that used to be a part of the garage. This space has now been transformed to living space so there is some shady framing going on around this panel. For instance, no stud at all to the right side of the panel. Very strange.

Mag,

I know it is a pain to change out flush-mounted panels, conduit OR cables.

Usually, if the opening is cut a tad taller than the panel, I will get all the cables in the panel and then stick it in the wall.

Just stick ~1" of each cable in the connectors, push the slack up into the wall, install panel, then pull all your slack in.

Nice work. Do you ever work in Tennessee?

Nope. Would love to relocate to the states mind you. I'm so sick of Canada and all it's bull**** taxes. Lol. I work my ass of and the government takes most my money.

 

I have been a member here for while now, though i mostly lurk. I thought it's about time i put up a few photos of a sample of the work i do.

Looks good guy, You will have to tell us about yourself sometime in the introduction area although your pictures are a pretty good start.

I just ran into a problem with 3" glass block. It seems they don't make a 90 degree raduis in 3" only 4". Have know idea why. Just don't. That's why I was curious.

Take a stroll down in the flooring section, you might find some friends there and some pictures of other tile work. :thumbsup:
