What home improvement work did you do today?

Support joists that will go in after the completion of the decking. I typically do it on the front end, and use 2x2s cut to size where I can but usually use 2x4s. This round didn’t allot for it. It’s 100 degrees and I have two amateurs helping

 

Spent the last 2 days plumbing and installing a sediment filter, carbon filter, and a 44K grain water softener. Turned on the water and have 3 leaks - pin hole in the middle of a 30" section of pipe, a brass cock valve, and 1 pvc joint. Soon i will have filtered soft water for washing the truck

 

Yep

 

It’s coming along

 

Nice work @Eclipsed & Floating
Attention to detail is great. I like the angled look much better and how its inlaid and bordered by the framing

 

The angled look is MUCH more time consuming, but the V will be showcasing the steps when I get to those

 

Definitely worth the extra effort man. Looks great.
I did a "picture frame" all the way around my deck when I did it last year. Took me days and days of work to make it happen, I didn't have to do it but I like the look even if no one else notices
You can kinda see it here. I prewashed it a few weeks ago

 

That looks dyno-mite!!!!!

This is a clients is why it’s fairly basic. Nice work

 

Mine is probably basic, I have a little construction experience luckily, but this was tough for me. I just can't stand seeing the endgrain on decks. Glad it's done lol

 

Looks good, but just a suggestion, you need to break your joints on a joist. I have never seen anyone try to use blocks like you are at the butt joints other than a mistake, and even then it would need to go joist to joist. It will be a hazard quickly imo, and would fail inspection most places.

 

Hey man I'm just a male nurse who has watched this old house since I was 8 lol

 

All of the locks are getting supported today, buddy Good eye! I’m building with my uncle who is highly unskilled so I’m going at it a tad different than I would if I wasn’t in a crunch to start a new job

 

Looks pro to me!

 

Had to get rid of the Dozer today. :-(
Ran it into the dark last night trying to tidy up the front acreage.
All the weeds are gone thanks to the Disc

 

Apartment life version of home improvement. Not sure I like this rack yet, gonna give it a few days.

 

The quality isn't the greatest but for the $97 plus tax I didn't expect a lot. A lot of reviews complain about trouble aligning hardware, I had no problems with assembly but it is a bit crooked. The one thing that's useless is the rubber feet they provide, I used some self adhesive rubber caps I had instead.

Link below, the 2 bike version is different. Only the 4 bike version free stands.

Looks cool to me

 

This was done 2 years ago and my first time. Over 2200 s/f of laminate. Title and carpet down stair removed and replaced with laminate.
Vinyl in the bathroom removed and replaced with new tile.

Looks good Jimmy.

 

Got some things off of the floor and organized a little. Thanks @nk1794 for talking me into these!

 

It's not triple digits burn everything and melt your face off hot up there...... I'm jealous

 

Organized the ppe cabinet in my shop.

 

6 hours on the Kubota today and the front 8 is almost ready for seed.
Not looking forward to that purchase here shortly. :-/

 

I’ve been MIA on here for a while. Been pretty busy around the house.

I built a miter saw station in my shop. Shop furniture doesn't need to be ugly. I used close to 20BF of walnut that my grandfather milled 40+ years ago for the face frame and made sure to have continuous grain throughout the drawer fronts.



And added a deck to the house

 

In the home stretch of finishing my deck extension/stair project. Decking is complete, new verticable railing is completed. Stair skirting and header skirting is going up. Just a few things left to complete, i.e. lights, staining cedar posts, and a few more pieces of skirting. Then we'll have some landscapers come in and resod the lawn and put in some plants/bushes.
