I try to use local everything businesses. But that is a network of people that l have used for years. Ask around hardware, local lumber and framing builders. Ask for references and go look at their work. For instance, l used a independent lumber yard to find my windows after several try’s...

Last weekend update.Appliances are in now. Kitchen is functional, but did not get the washer/dryer combo hooked up. Will be working on that over this weekend. And my son made me a printed sheet of all the switches. That works so much better then trying to read some some old handwriting. Hanging...

Feel you on this wfo! Turning 68 end of sept. l try to only 3 days a week now. Gave my life to the car business for 30 plus years. Tired of the stealership bs and sales people. l know, you know..

So the floors are done now. l went ahead and made a punch list cause l’m getting close to the finish line. Base moulding, doors, and a little left on the plumbing. Few other small things. That should get a final inspection in a couple weeks. Then l can try to get my C.O. No doubt, they will find...

“Good thing this not my first turf job”. l’ve heard differently ;)

yep

Do y’all some catch up photos. Kitchen is virtual done. Microwave is now installed with range hood going in today or tomorrow. l didn’t want a microwave over the range, so it goes to the right bridge cabinet and the hood range to the left. Have to cut a big azz 6” hole over it going up to the...

Did your mom drop you when you were a baby? This post is a bunch of gibberish.

My preference is a multi-tool to remove and then a angle grinder. Either way will work.

Got some power through out the building now. Just 30 amps, but that is what l’ve had all along. Powers all the lights, ceiling fans, garage doors. Probably can run some other small tools. l’m only putting 3.4 amps. And all the receptacles work too.

@Pro-pulsion, l’m in the process of finishing up the “different kind of build” for my housing. Coming in at 150k-160k. That is with cost overruns. And l haven’t held back on several things, like granite countertops, nice appliances, or other amenities. Mostly been subbing things out, but of late...

Looks freakin’ awesome!!

Shower surround by Thermax-Glass. l looked for months for these type panels. Kohler, American Standard, and several others produce basically the same thing. But they won’t sell you just the parts. Ended up with this kit. All of the brands use interlocking panels. What l bought is made out of...

Did this ever sell?

Mostly done with the wall cabinets. Lack one 36” bridge and then l can reset the 30” x 36” to the right of it. Base cabinets are ready for the countertops. They come tomorrow for measurements. The last 2 pics show where l anchored (5 in the floor), and 6 lag bolts into the wall, which has 3...

Got the last cabinet built Saturday. Moving on now to hanging the wall cabinets. Bought a Huepar level and tripod. Only way to go. Went to Lowe’s, bought trim and screws to have on hand. Started the process, but found the height l picked (19.5”) was right over where a wire was run and nail...

Have all the base cabinets done now. The lazy susan’s were dic to put together. Not complicated, just l was on the edge of catastrophe putting them together. The way you have to do it by picking up 2 glued panels and carefully placing it on the other side you just put together. Last pic shows...
