Home Improvement Today?

Nice bookending on the back boards. Subtle, almost looks like Stickley inlay

 

Very clean install. May I ask you how much was it for the whole thing?

 

It's actually 1/4" MDF core VG Fir veneered sheet stock . I liked that grain feature , that's why I picked that sheet

My house

 

It's not coated yet but will just get a couple coats of Varathane semi gloss oil

 

2700K warm white

 

I know the drawing sucks! Sorry!

Alright guys, I need help and I need it quick. Gotta get this tackled before a b-day party next in a week.

10'x10' deck addition. It will be ground level/floating deck. The ground is not level and does slope and I have 4x4 posts to accommodate on top of pier blocks.

I am starting by locating the placement of my pier blocks. I can not for the life of me figure out how to determine exact locations and place them.

I think attaching the ledger board to the existing deck may be a good place to start but not sure.

The pier block locations are depicted by the drawn in squares.

12" in from deck edge @ 16, 64, and 96

5' in at 32, 64, and 112.

The 112" edge is the end that attaches to the existing deck.

HELP!!

 

I'm old school , I run strings between batter boards and use a plumb bob

 

Looks great as usual. Are there pics of your home from the exterior? The interior work you've done is really amazing, I was just curious what style of home it is that brings it all together.

 

No exterior pics , it's kind of a Craftsman style / west coast hybrid

 

Awesome.

 

Hahaha

 

Slick

 

+1 DMB

 

If that was 2 panes of glass that would be exactly like my front door

 

Extreme energy efficiency, but the occasional marauding nazgul is a bit offputting.

 

That may be, but it's hard to file a claim if you've had your soul removed or are recently undead. Unless a palantir is included, I think I'll pass.

 

That's the way I was trying. It was 1030 at night and I was tired.

I think the best way will be to hang my ledger board on the existing deck, then measure and stake strings.

 

Day 1

 

Craftsman style is how I did my whole house. I did modern/craftsman. But the design of the house is a Texas ranch. Love the simple lines of craftsman trim though.
