I managed to get the boxes built. The 1/4" backs didn't bend easily. Took a few relief cuts to make it work.
The side will be against walls so I get to screw the sides and they won't show. I am using trex PVC trim to make the curves for the face frames.
I made a jig for the router to make the curved plywood pieces, nothing hard just a long pivot arm (6' 3"). Worked great.

 

My latest bsmt reno

 

as pretty as it gets , parade day today so this should be interesting haha

 

First two are from a siding job. The rot is on a 5 year old addition done wrong. Untreated lumber sitting on a slab. Must have been an old patio. Replaced with pt joists and aluminum z flashing to prevent further problems. That was my first time ever bending metal and the customer was thrilled with my idea of the flashing. It's the little things that make some people happy. Last picture is a 44' long 19' tall wall for a friends painting company. It's his new sand blasting area. This week we begin a 60 square siding job tearing off all the old cedar. My pictures might not be as cool as some others here but I'm only 23 and still an employee.

 

One thing to remember is that aluminum flashing and PT don,t mix. The aluminum will turn to mush in a few short years in a lot of cases.

Should use a flashing tape betwwen the two , vinyl coil, or copper coil. Not picking on your work , just trying to give some advise. Like they say "Been there , done that , bought the t-shirt. "

 

Installed the curved cabinets. They turn out ok for my first time i think.

 

This is a barn I redid starting last fall before it got to bad for the winter. Just got it finished a while bad after a bunch of weather holdups.

 

Randy
Your workmanship is clearly superb.
However would you consider the following?

It looks like you have possibly gone slightly too far on this renovation.
The barn had wonderful carrotier in it's original state. Your choice of siding takes this feeling away.
I would suggest you change it to vertical wood or many other choices.
The original X on the door gave it beauty and a feeling of what it is,(a barn not a condo) The roofing is fine, and I may be out of line.
Anyone else see this?

The horizontal siding size and color take away the beauty of the era.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks

 

How's this for scribing trim. Lol.

 

scribing trim , thats how i have to do all my trim, it's either old brick or granite curbs i let into

 

Same this was a fun one, Reached a point where i couldnt get it any closer, get one spot to fit and it would hit somewhere else.

 

Had to replace a door on an old well house. It was an odd size, so it needed cutting and planning. Nota big deal except it was in the middle of a field. Had to start by weed whacking a path from the 2 track trail, and whack down an area to set up and work in. I even used my ts-55 to cut the door down.
Interesting project for sure.

 

I call it Power Haus

 

Nice job H.
I think I could move right in there, in a couple of years.
Are those windows all sliders or atrium?
I didn't see a birdcage, how are the bugs in that area?

On a side note, may I ask you, what camera did you use for these shots?

I'm guessing, a digital of some sort.
I will reserve my comments about that for now.

I'm still in the market for a new camera.

Thanks for that.

The doors are accordion style from Centor. The windows are casement from Jeld-Wen.

The bugs are horrible since this home is on a swamp. Every door has a complete phantom screen as do all of the windows. Also, we used Mosquito Nix with the exempt peppermint oil spray. It works incredibly.

 

If I didn't do it, 480Sparky would have :w00t:

Any post processing in the photo or external lighting?

 

Neither. They were shot in natural light. The details are snapshots. The rest were shot on a tripod with some longer exposures up to 5 seconds.

The house is 100% LED so we had to play with white balance in a few shots in the field.

 

really a very nice thread. Where in the people put pictures and you let us know the plans and experiences really show their passion for work and it also drives out inspiration for others . great job:thumbup:

 

They came out nice.

 

Another home I just finished.

 

 

Nice work guys..

Hey Chris, what's behind that door in the shed?:whistling:laughing:

HardW,
Why does the cypress over the dining area change directions?

Last pic.. lower cab doors... Is that distressing?

 

Yes to the distressing question.

The cypress changes direction to provide a sense of separation to the space. It is used as both a dining area and a sitting/reading room on either side of the column entry. It just adds interest to the space really. That room is pecky too, whereas the rest of the ceilings are normal cypress with a slightly different finish.

 

Yes to the distressing question.

I thought maybe they caught the zebra chewing on them


Beautiful home:thumbsup:

 

In the final stages of finishing a full gut bathroom remodel,

Before,

After relocation, almost complete,

Nice work guys..

Hey Chris, what's behind that door in the shed?:whistling:laughing:

It's an old well house. The walls go dow. 6' below the grade and it's full of water. There is about 3' of floor behind the door and the rest is the hole. I was scared I was gonna drop a tool in that nasty water.

 

Me and a buddy of mine finished this today.

 

Nice:thumbsup:

 

That is beautiful. Did the owners request it as all view or did you suggest it.
Nice work.

 

That is beautiful.

Thanks!

Did the owners request it as all view or did you suggest it.
Nice work.

The customer , who is my friends brother, is an architect, so it was all his idea,we just added the arches to it.
There was an old carport there before, but got damaged (annihilated is more like it) by an oak tree.
The brick knee wall was 4" out of square. Nothing like trying to build something right on top of something wrong.

 

Work we didnt do.. but got the call to .. uh, fix? It.
18000 ft with 1200 lnft delineator. None of which was held to 12x12 grid. Nice.
Btw, thats not a window, its a BAY window.
We get all the fun!
