Home Improvement Today?

Lot nicer looking than the cheap baby gate we use lol

 

That area is too wide and short for a normal gate she'd hop haha.

 

I made one out of pvc pipe. Area was too wide and the pups "respect" it, and even though they could go through it, they don't.

 

I have a ranch style theme going on so I think it fit well. I thought about something like that but figured go big or.. Go home? Though I am home..

 

Yours does look good.

 

Thank you!

 

O you'd be surprised what they make lol. We had to get an "extra wide" gate. Thankfully our dog isn't a jumper

 

Haha I'd end up buying a 6' tall section of chain link fence

 

Dropped the table off yesterday.

Is that a maint free decking material or real wood?

The deck not the table lol

The table looks awesome

 

Real wood its ipe. It's about as maintenance free as wood gets.

 

Rebuilt front porch railing and steps.
House before I moved a little over a year ago.


Before removing completely rotten front porch steps and railings.

Black aluminum balusters. All railing installed with pocket holes. There are no screw holes to be seen.

90% painted

Things left to do.
-stain deck boards
-paint stair risers
-hang lattice and build framing
-plant new bushes

 

Very cool. Looks like an old school saloon door for short people....

Some cool (common sense) tools and hope this is not a repost. I really liked the drywall cutter.

Dammit .... I can’t get that song out of head now

 

Few pics from the Ranch as we get close to finished

Drypack in , Schluter Kerdi system with linear drain installed ready for tile in upstairs batroom



Little bench I made from laminated MDF scraps for the mudroom




Laundry room will have quartz countertop over washer and dryer and storage cabinets above . I made a support leg / gable for the countertop that will allow me to hook up dryer venting from washer side before washer gets slid into place . Washer has remote water shut offs above the countertop . Upper cabinets will have LED strip lights




Patio rebar complete , we pour that tomorrow

 

...^^^... Nice rebar work ...

Rare to see that rebar placement quality in residential work here.

 

Got our house repainted

Before




After

 

Tried to return my DEFECTIVE Dewalt air compressor to Lowe’s after using it 4 times. They wouldn’t take it back because I didn’t buy the extended warranty from them. It is 3 months old and has a two year warranty. Lowe’s was once better than Home Depot but now they both suck.
