Home Improvement Today?

Exactly

the plies are all travelling around slightly different radii so the pieces need to be able to slide by each other as clamping pressure is applied

 

Same concept different scale

 

I would use R-11 or R-13 15” wide Unfaced / 8’ material to knock down sound on a budget. Grab a can of foam and seal every crack and penetration. Should be good to go.

 

So , yeah

 

What's the invoice to the client for this start to finish?

 

About tree fiddy.

 

Looks about the same to me

On a serious note it’s awesome watching the work you post. Keep it up, it’s fascinating to us non-skilled folk

 

Busy day today. I cut down half a dozen small trees and bundled them up to be hauled off. The two biggest were a pine and oak that were 4" and 6", respectively, across at the base.

After:


Bundles and all the leaves that I've collected over the last few weeks.


Saved the bulk of the two biggest trees for firewood.


I cleaned up my chainsaw after I finished, flipped and deburred the bar, and sharpened the chain. Finally, I fixed my 4-stroke weedwhacker. I replaced the coil and line head.

 

I set up this shed a couple months ago after having the pad poured. I then added a solar panel and auto battery with LED lights to light it up.



With the stay in place orders I had time to do a few more things. I had since added two smaller sheds on either side. One for the backup generator.
Today I ran power to both sheds and installed the same lights with switches. I also added vents on both ends for the generator shed.

 

What is a good silica sand substitute for artificial grass?

 

No expert, but I had client request envirofill on a job. Two 20’ square areas, no complaints in the two years it’s been in.

It was going to be a summer project, but I seem to have some time on my hands... and digging is free.

The start of our semi above ground koi pond.

 

Working on some "lattice" panels to add to my privacy screen / arbour

The basic concept is that there will be horizontal only "lattice" in a frame that is the same size as the frames that house the crossreed glass I posted earlier

The frames are made of 2" x 1 3/4" cedar rails , the horizontal laths are 9/16" x 1 1/2"

Laths are 4" on centre

I have already cut the frames and cut the domino joints for the mitres of the frames

The laths will be attached to the side rails with 8mm Sipo dominoes

Today I cut all the joinery in the laths

As I currently only have the larger Festool domino machine , I needed to cut an approx 8mm spacer to raise the domino machine in order to cut the dominoes in the centre of the 9/16" rails



Test fit 8mm x 30mm Sipo domino




All laths done , Dominopalooza lol




Test cutting a side rail dummy to make sure my layout and offsets all work before I cut all the mortises in the side rails




Test fit dominoes




Test fit laths onto dominoes to confirm layout




Next weekend I hope to get these all finished up

Already planning to pick up the smaller Domino joiner as well for this type of work in the future

 

Indian burial ground in the front yard?

 

Rails all laminated , I cleaned them up today




Lamination looks sound



I started installing the curved rails this afternoon

...^^^... OZ ... You are the "Professor of Perfection".

I don't think I could find a builder in Georgia to go to that detail in their work .... they would sub it out to a high end cabinet shop.

 

Haha. I assume you're talking about the pile of dirt behind the tree. It's just a load of dirt the previous owner picked up and never spread around.

 

I stubbed out my second bathroom for a tub a few years ago... I've been putting off buying the tub because I wasn't ready to remodel the master bathroom and it wasn't a necessity. Also, I'm not good at asking people for help and I thought I might need it (cast iron and all). Well, I ordered the tub, planned on taking a few days off and lining up some help and then... "novel" coronavirus!

My wife and I did manage to move the tub off my pickup and into the house ourselves. But I'm mocking up the plumbing and realize I need like a 1/2" more vertical-ness! Grrrrr....

The tub on the magical dolly...


The 2x4 is simulating floor level...DOH!


The poorly planned stub-out! Waiting for some angle grinder, chiseling sadness...
