What home improvement work did you do today?

Wow that is shiny. Looks amazing

 

Should all be done by this Saturday, fingers crossed.

 

I "3rd" this.....my $130 grill cooks evenly at high heat like a $500+ infared grill.

 

Looks good!

 

Nothing sensational. Removed garage old 4' florescent bulb fixtures and replaced with 4' LED fixtures. Life is good...

 

Shutters are installed for goat barn. I wish the cedar shutters were going to be sealed or stained. Unfortunately the client wants to have them painted white.




Power is on and live at the barn now. Automatic waters are hooked up as well. We had to trench over 500’ of rock for water and power.


Only a few paint touch ups and this project will be all done. Animals will arrive this Friday. My clients are very excited!

 

Well here is what my 19,000 sq ft barn foundation is starting to look like. All the foundation is Pre engineered, so all the beams, steel and concrete are spect by the engineer. Lots of planning to get to this point.






I have concrete trench drains installed through out the center aisle of the barn.

I have catch basins being installed on the ends of each trench drain run. This will help collect any debris that collects in the drain.

Squeezing a full size semi with a 30,000 lb load between some old oak trees was fun. We only had about 6” on each side to spare! Made it work.


My 20,000 sq foot arena structure will arrive next month. So lots of big changes coming in the next month.

 

Epoxy floors are done, I’m pretty happy with them. I kinda wish I didn’t do the texture, but oh well.

 

You'll be happy about the texture when it gets wet. Buddy of mine had the concrete polished in his garage, then had them come back and rough it up a little after he busted his ass with wet shoes.

 

I totally agree with you on the shutters.

 

Floor looks great but I bet that thing slippery as hell.

 

This is how my garage floor as it's super polished and when I'm washing the car you got to watch you don't bust your ass.

 

Looks good man. I am getting quotes to get my bathroom remodeled and the keep telling m the pan at the bottom to title it is 2500 compared to a 800 dollar fiberglass one. Seems crazy to me

 

That seems a little steep.

 

Agreed. Just got word today that a good family friend is going to start taking in remodel jobs again in sept. So I’ll wait. Trying to keep off the new tundra itch

 

My 25’x30’ Goat Barn project is all done. Clients have their new goats and miniature donkeys in the new fenced area. I decided to do the metal wainscoting panel around the perimeter of the barn to help prevent the donkeys from cribbing (chewing).

 

Nice new home for the goats, great work.

 

Thank you! They will be very spoiled by the owners. They're typically show goats but they have them for pets.

 

Thank you! I built the barn to have similar details as a near by garage.

 

Looks good.

 

Finished building our solar array frame and installed two 195 watt panels yesterday and just finished installing a third one, 5 more to go. This array system will keep 20 six volt golf cart batteries charged, they are hooked up 4 to a bank in series for 24 volts making 5 banks that total a 1025 amp-hours, very serious amperage so I always use electrical tape on any wrenches that I use while working on connections as I never want to see the result of any shorting. Anyway, those batteries will provide power for a 4,000 watt pure sinewave inverter which will take care of emergency power for two refrigerators, a freezer and some LED lighting in our home.

 

Made this today for the wife. Used scrap wood I had in the garage. Almost cut my thumb off in the process.

 

what product are you using? Turned out great!

 

Looks great. Glad you kept your thumb

 

Looks amazing. I see that you don't monkey around.

 

Sherwin Williams epoxy, that’s about all I know about.

 

Started replacing the flooring in our house a couple of days ago. Finished my daughters room today.
