A start to the latest client project. A longtime client referral. Dismantle, remove, and stack stones at another house. Replacing the stone porch/deck with a treated framed with Trex decking and railing. Thank you to Ellmaker Excavating for helping out by removing 2ft depth of sand and gravel from inside the stone walls.

Here is the latest project for a long time repeat client. Porch floor replacement and new posts, railings, and ballasters. I made and installed the previous posts, rails, and ballast errs, some of which failed due to weathering over the course of 10 plus years. This time I made them completely out of PVC.

Back at the “pet project” house, while the weather is not raining. Yesterday removed 2 framed roof layers, as pictured, from one nasty corner of the house. This afternoon, re-configured the roof the other direction, half framed back in, not pictured yet due to being dark when I got done. More pics to follow, after framing more tomorrow afternoon.

Back to the small house remodel. End of April, tore off part of the roof with framing completely, reconfigured and added some more on. Then this past week, tore the front shingles and 1x8’s off. Then re-sheeted, tarpapered, and shingled. Also shingled the reconfigured side. Much better, and it won’t rain inside, at least that half 😉.

Back to the pet project of investing time into a property and house. The last month or so, been spending time cleaning brush and trees out for a future storage building. This weekend, spent time dismantling a storage addition on the back of the house that is not needed, plus it needed to be removed to reconfigure the poorly designed roof to prevent leakage.

A fun little award project, on my list, for the local Percussion Palooza event. I can’t make a glass etching without lights in it 😉. One of the coolest so far.
