What home improvement work did you do today?

In my OCD world..... all your labels are not facing the same outward direction..... I have issues

 

I'm surprised you didn't notice two different types of wood. I used white oak on all my benches. But half way through this one I ran out of oak, so I used maple.

 

Finished up my patio in the fall and forgot to post it... back filled with 10 cubic yards of dirt and poured 9.3 cubic yards of concrete to get it done.

Glad that’s over!!









I’ve got some touch up to do, but it’s nice having another 450 square feet of living space outside!

Got quotes before I started working on it myself... lowest was $18,500. Whole project cost me about 85 hours of work and $3800. Worth it.

Landscaping begins next week!

 

The bolts on the front board are not equally spaced from the edges of that board - more space on the front

 

I know I have covers, just need to locate one. Lines are from the florescent light

 

That's beautiful

 

Omm nom. Cant wait to see them finished

 

Thank you! I’ll post up more pics after it gets done. Just started the floor tile this week.

 

Atta boy!

 

Yup.. i saw that but thought I would cut you some slack...

Your 1st bech got me going with...
The plugs being upside down

 

Nice job !

Love hard work!
It’s So gratifying seeing the results of the effort.

 

I always do the face on my receptacles. I dunno, just the way I do it. I don't think there is a right or wrong way or they would have them printed with this way up

 

I must of been drunk when I did the grinder bench....ooopsie

 

I have been digging ditches all day for electric conduit, gutter downspouts and water lines. I feel like I have had my ass whipped.

 

Looks great! Be glad you don’t live in my area. We typically have solid rock only a few inches down. Example of a hole we had to dig this week for an underground propane tank. Jack hammers and back hoe work.

 

Just interior design work. Bought my dog a new couch.

 

Stucco and roof have started, pavers are delivered for the driveway/walks, and drywall is starting soon.


This is the pool and back yard landscape design we picked.

They are all built on site, don’t think drop in liners would hold up here.

 

Yeah, I’m sure our wives would be upset because we would have neighborhood work on your Tundra days with lots of beer involved. Lol

 

Nothing beats a big pecker

 

A much needed deck rebuild.

To be continued into the next 2 or 3 days.

 

Getting alot closer on this deck project looking to put some deck board on tomorrow then rail. Then all 156 spindles wish me luck lol

 

Might want to get that pressure washer out too. But really it look good!

 

O yes the wife is all over me about that lol. But the weather has been so unpredictable up to this point. It even rained here today until like 12. But yes that and washing my camper is next .

 

What are you going to use for decking? Are those joists 2 feet on center? They dont look 16" but it may just be the pics

 

They are 16 on center. Using pressure treated. But running at a 45 angle .

 

That will look good. I highly recommend running a picture frame like boarder all the way around to hide the end grain of the boards. Also I really really highly recommend using GRK brand decking screws, they are amazing and easy to use and dont split wood ends at all. Worth the extra money
