Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By housewolf: It's been almost two years now since a tornado took my weekend house (while I was in it), the house was built on top of the garage. Initially we just needed to get a roof over the garage so we'd have somewhere dry to store what was left. We built a more traditional home next door to the garage and live here full time. I'm finishing out the room over the garage now. It'll have a couple of beds, full bath, sink, and a small sitting area. It's 34'x16' to the short walls. Storage behind the walls. After the framing & roof I've done all the work myself so it's moving at a snails pace. The pine siding isn't my favorite but the interior of the old house was all pine so it's for nostalgia as much as anything else. I used the salvaged siding in the second pic to build a small room inside the garage below. I hope to have all the walls except the inside of the bathroom finished today. The plumbing isn't finished yet. I'm a plumber go figure https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/177202/E827DB37-C903-457C-9A01-96464EB953B3_jpe-2303266.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/177202/018A5B94-9862-4E25-A639-44DAC475DEDE_jpe-2303268.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/177202/417CE054-7A10-4B4A-AC75-4ACE866E2A94_jpe-2303278.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/177202/6E43DA15-07D2-47C3-9225-9E956698566F_jpe-2303923.JPG It's always this way. I make some of the prettiest, most perfect lawns in the city where I work. Mine looks like a pasture that gets mowed every couple of weeks.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ar-jedi: pay attention here folks, this is how you do a proper modern shower; the whole thing should be completely waterproof before you start setting any tile. Absolute Truth. It doesn't have to be Kerdi-Schluter, but even with a cheaper board, and waterproof, roll-on membrane, you can have a completely waterproof shower before any tile goes in. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ScottsGT: Finally..Got my tree work done. Had two I couldn’t do myself. One was hanging over the chimney making it dangerous in the fall with dry leaves and drafting issues when having a fire along with huge roots heading into my basement wall and hanging over my new roof. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/3573/o3TJk0.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/2529/WtDPYK.jpg This one started life as a Holly “bush” and previous owners let it grow into a tree. I had to get if off my siding and under control. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/6862/JP4Zyc.jpg So I had it taken down to 3-5’ stumps so it can regrow and I can keep it trimmed at a decent level. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/4821/BsMOfn.jpg Now I have a lot of work to do on the side yard to get it prepped for some sod. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THESE ARE LOADING SIDEWAYS! They are normal on my iPad.  OK loaded them up to my Imageshack account and posted them. Direct from my iPad is now loading sideways. It's a foster holly, I *think*. They are trees.

I'm building a new pedalboard for my acoustic guitar work.
My old one was approaching 20 years of age and I wanted to get an easier layout which meant either adding a section to the old one or building a new one from scratch. I began that yesterday.  Attached File Attached FileI got the pedals set up and tested to ensure everything would be easily accessible and made some new cables and then proceeded to cut and glue the board and the riser together. Next step will be to sand the glued seam flat so that the velcro material I glue on will have a good surface to bond to. |

Basement half bath sink ( porcelain pedestal sink) start cracking and coming apart. I replaced it today. One Problem the sink is 4 inches higher than the old sink. So I needed new supply lines and the drain is now higher and further away from the wall it is plumbing time
Did I say I hate plumbing with a passion? |

 Attached File Attached FileStarted out as a pile of 1” square tubes. I suck at welding….. and not great at measuring, drilling or cutting…. But I’m happy with the results. Running the wires through the tubes was fun. Each light will be on a separate switch but that’s a job for another day. I’m pooped ETA: I might not be a welder, cutter or measurer but I AM a pretty good electrician 😎. All lights work perfectly and run off separate switches and circuits. I can run all 8 at the same time without popping any of the 10a fuses |

Replaced a 17 year old Bosch dishwasher that still ran fantastic. The handle over the last year was getting very loose and finally one of the sides of the handle pulled out. I may have been able to somehow remove the inside stainless along with jeopardizing the electronics and rig the handle back on. Decided it was time to replace it with a Bosch 500 Series and found it on sale at Lowes for 849.00 vs 1099.00 regular price. This is how I spent a few hours on Easter Sunday.
