..Slayer

 

Updated office wall with layout and paint. Took a while to cut everything, caulk it, sand and paint. However, it’s worth it.

 

I built a bar! Think it turned out pretty nice. Left a slot for a fridge or kegerator. Used shiplap on the outsides. Hardest part was applying protective coating to everything to prevent water damage.

 

Thanks guys!
When I said it gets in the rivers, I wasnt kidding. My downspouts literally drain directly into the river. The salmon spawn in front of my house in the fall and there is a large effort to rebuild the run. Fish and game biologists walk down the river 2-3 times a week to mark redds and do fish counts. I know I'm overly cautious but I'm hoping that the salmon run can be restored to a point where I can actually fish for them again.

 

Thanks for the links Slayer. I haven't seen the copper cat strips before. I'll check them out. Looks like a good long term solution.

 

I've heard from a lot of people that those copper strips don't work...

Anyone install them and actually have success for more than a year?

 

Did this over the last few days, mostly after work.

Started with this, got for free from my uncle


I started sanding it thinking I would stain it, but soon realized some of it is fake wood, most of it is real. I changed gears with wifes approval and went for the antique white paint instead.


Second coat (outsides only)


The doors are outside drying still, I'm pretty sure I'll leave them off. New TV fits perfectly. Total cost was under $20 (not including TV).


Now time for some Clarkson

 

Got the china displayed, which also gave me back my dining room table .

 

Well redirect that shit!
One year of digging trenches would probably take the same amount of time pressure washing, but then you only have to do it once LOL.
My junk eventually dumps into a salmon/steelhead bearing creek as well. And my theory still stands, a few cans on your roof once a year wouldn’t even show up in your report.
My creek is flagged for salmon/steelhead beds and tested, and never came back out of spec. And I do indeed fertilize my field, adjacent to the creek. Along with many others.
I can’t even imagine the amount of Moss B Ware it would take to fuck up any type of fish run on a river that size. Of course, I applaud you for being so incredibly respective and safe, but it’s still just ten smidges too much over board I’d wager.


Eta - I think the most recent WA storm water code is 200ft dump/runoff distance from the closest water body as well. And depending on your roof size depends on how many different run off spouts you have to install. 200ft of earth I think safely removes anything toxic your roof may produce.
I dropped mine right at the 200ft mark from the creek, but the option to let the water hit a splash block right next to your house was an option as well.
I didn’t want my beds/yard flooded so didn’t go that route.

I guess I’ve just never gotten over how bad it sucked to pressure wash a roof - every......single.......stupid.......crack!!!

 

I’ve been wanting to build this for two years. Finally got around to it!

 

Replaced some cedar siding in preperation for house getting painted. Not bad for a Weldor

 

Wife has been telling me for the last year or two that she wanted me to build her something like this. Finally got her to give me some pictures of what she actually wanted about a month ago and I spent the last three weekends building this. It's a lot tougher to get a project done when you have a two year old that constantly keeps you busy. Finally finished it today and moved it inside and installed the shelves.

 

That girl in the back of your truck....is okay right?

*Body in back of truck face down...check
*Shovel....check
*Gasoline....check
*Possible gallon of bleach....check

 

That is my 6 yo girl haha. She just playing back there haha

 

10-4! Figured something of that nature

 

Beautiful work...gotta love when the wives find "Pinterest"....but Im sure they say the same about us and "forums"

 

Damn. That looks fantastic. Makes me want coffee too.

 

my Mom has a deck leading into her front door which was rotten and really poorly constructed....now I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing either when it comes to construction, but feel like I can make something sturdy and a little more pleasing to the eye...anyways spent a few days giving her a safer entry deck.

 

Wow, superb work. Me next, me next!

 

I know that's right! Good work. Not even going to tell you how long it took me to finish this with a 1yr old and a 6yr old


Wife wanted another bookshelf/cube organizer for our daughters room. Got some new tools out of the deal though

 

The difference is, we don't make the install our mods.

 

I had to install 215x of these solar led post cap lights on 6x6 fence post.

 

Night time picture?

 

Unfortunately, not yet. Hopefully, I’ll get some nighttime photos done after the next phase of outdoor lighting is all done.

 

My 40x105 garage is coming right along. My stucco had the scratch coat applied over the weekend. My electrician have roughed in the electrical outlets and lights and will be installing all my led highbay lights this week.

 

Godamnnnn! That's a garage..so awesome!

 

Installed some motion sensing leds in the garage.

 

Finally finished trimming out our new home today. Started around the first of the year and worked on it when I could with a full-time job and two little ones. This window section was the last thing I did. Needed a cardboard template for a lot of it.

 

Wow, nicely done! Looks great!

 

Very nice.
