haha as for the bar yes it has to rain first then bar, you got to get the priorities straight :)

Tyvek is too expensive thats all I can say, this was all done with left overs from other jobs ive done. As for construction around here it hasn't dropped a bit, still full speed ahead....

 

house is looking good! Its a good change to work on some residencial buldings. I've worked with my dad for many years in construction, but its all commercial buildings. We are starting to build a new cabin and It will be just me and my dad should be fun. Hes gona use huge cedar logs for the basement walls instead of concrete. I didnt know that existed but I guess they work really good.

 

Dang I haven't updated this for awhile Ill have to take more pics if it stops raining lol.

Drywallers started to hang today, should be tapping soon they said there working the weekend. But ya soffit/fascia is done, got 3 pieces of sidding on and all but one outside doors are in, still need to do the garage doors but ill wait until the drywallers are done. Been busy with other jobs right now...

 

The guys I hired to hang are some weird ducks they work 6am to Noon 7 days a week. But ya I could only take some much of hanging 12 foot sheets of 5/8's drywall also lol.

 

Nice!

That looks so much nicer than commercial. I did concrete form work for 3 summers. That sucked *** and made me stick like rotten eggs lol.

 

Looks GREAT!!! Keep up the good work!!!

 

Thanks, its coming along, still have to do all the siding and stuff which will take awhile..

 

Wish I knew how to do dry wall work, that's a freaking ART!!! 6am to noon, beat the day heat, not a bad idear right there!!

Looks good!

 

Beat the heat??? Yesterday it was in the mid 60's and raining. Today is Mid 70's....

I know how to dry wall/tape and texture but its a job I can't pay enough to have done...

 

Love the garage! Are you going to have the driveway extend all the way out to the road or are you going to have gravel between the pad and the street?

 

Hahah my bad!! It's been gettin to like 90* here, or 80's and HUMID as all get out!

 

It concrete all the way out if they ever come back and finish it

 

the one nice part about taking a one month hiatus is that projects move much faster ha. looks really good, once drywall goes up it seems like game over

 

Game over??? Still alot of work to be done and finish work takes for ever, cause it has to be done right cause there nothing else covering it up...

 

Finishing work is the longest part to every job. One mess up there can make all the hours of labor on everything else seem worthless.

Good looking house. Glad I dont do dry wall anymore.

 

yeah I used to do finish work for my dad, trim work etc. etc Lots of tedious work for sure. And you got to watch out for the painted walls and the new floors. stepn on egg shells wherever you want to work. that and tryn to keep it clean wherever you go.

 

lookin good. got a question. whats the metal things coming off the basement walls?

 

i mean you dont really many more drastic changes like when youre framing it in

 

its for the windows down there. aka window wells

 

Huh? On top of the foundation there are bolts, to bolt the green treat plate to, then the floor joists sit on that....

 

ok, i've never seen a real basement in person so i didn't know. wouldnt that fill up with water?

 

I think he means the window wells you got in the ground. which is what I was trying to tell him. maybe not though

 

yea the corrogated metal in the ground

 

you usually put rock and sand in the bottom and it drains under the foundation or back in ground around it. the main problem is a bunch of critters getn into them

 

cool. i googled "window wells" and i see what they are now. seems like you can make them nice looking. k, im un-confused now, thanks.
