Home and shop build thread

Looking good OP , you're getting close

 

I don't build anymore, I had to get a "real" job . I've always been around building, carpentry, finish, cabinet, flooring work. My first full time job as a 16 yr old kid was installing and finishing hardwood floors. I spent about 9 years building houses with my brother. We started out with Log homes and then moved into stick frame homes.

I read a lot, and I'm not afraid to try something new if I don't know how to do it. Most of the time it is just getting started that is the hard part. I've pick up a lot of skills buy just watching or doing.

 

It is coming along. Cabinets were delivered and installed yesterday. I have a good bit to go, but I am moving along pretty good right now. I have a few big list items that need to be completed yet.

The end is near.

 

Got a little stoned today (I wish ).

3 down 1 to go.


Painters are painting the inside (looks freaking amazing), so I am outside buttoning up a few things. Not too much longer for sure. I have some other pictures to post that are behind where I'm at right now. I'll get to that. Thought I would drop a quick update.

 

Absolutely amazing house and impressive skill. Way to go OP

 

Counter tops came today
Pics to follow when I get off work.

 

These are some kick ass pieces of stone.

 

Looks amazing buddy

 

I like the counter-tops, but I have a question.
Why no back splash in the kitchen?

 

Didn't want to spend the money on it. There will be a tile backsplash there eventually. I knew that going in, and the granite was expen$ive.

 

What brand of cabinets did you put in?

 

Custom built, by a man out of Georgia.

 

Nice!

 

Today we went from this:


To this:


Had to break down the table saw and clean out the rooms. I got a good start on it tonight. Should be finished by Sunday afternoon. I have several other things I need to do this weekend. I will be getting garage doors (finally) next week, and I need to run a few wires. Also, I need to take a few loads of trash to the land fill. Going to be busy. Good start for the weekend though.

 

Beautiful home buddy

 

I'm trying.

Thank you.

I'll do a walk through vid. when it's all done.

 

. Before and after , vice versa !

 

The second picture scares me.

 

Yea,that was after a partial deconstruct but it was pretty bad . Believe it or not it was like that for over 20 years ! Open junction boxes ,cloth wire ,just not good !

 

A work in progress.
