what did you do around the house today?

I am sure you are aware, but that junction box is against code for more than one reason. Opening it up like that is pretty sweet. My parents did the same thing in their condo, and now they have a huge looking kitchen/dining room all in one, vs two separate rooms.

Oh I'm very aware that it's not to code. But I've deleted both circuits that they had through there anyways, so retarded but I really was expecting to find something in the wall since they was a pass-through cut into the wall that wasn't original and there was two different outlets from two different circuits underneath it.

it's friday... tv sucks... I'm bored...

What did I do around my house lately?

Sweet frig all - got a run to the dump in last week? I need to find time for that again this week... I think I've got 8 doors, 7 openers and a dozen or so pairs of springs out there again... FFS I need a proper steel bin

So since nobody else is...

Here's what I did around other peoples houses


That's a sweet little 9x7 with satin etched glass 15" radius track and a 3800.

Really liked how this one turned out

Carriage door, sealed unit windows (omg that one was heavy, calculated 200lbs of glass in that section alone) 2 tone paint. Highlift and a 3800 opener.

I'm going to take better pictures for you Andy, just want to clear all the construction stuff off the side of my house and put some mulch down by those bushes first

[AndyL]

Lol

You sir - you have an eye for detail! Of that there is no doubt!

[max_boost]

Not quite done yet. Still have wiring to re-do, a fair bit of drywall patching and what not. Plus now that I've exposed my butt ugly kitchen it's a good reminder to start ripping out cabinets and continue on with the project.

It looks like you effectively removed your main cold air return on the main floor. Or are you rerouting it somewhere else?

Looks good.

Also corner sinks are terrible as you probably can tell.
Put in a window around the dishwasher area and move the sink over. WAY better.

That was the original plan, but now that all the boards are on it doesn't seem necessary. It's just a alley behind and we're in the centre so we don't get much traffic.

Main deck is finished, put in some square cedar lattice last weekend, just need a few gates done and then a 2nd smaller deck that on the other side of the house and she's done. I think that deck will have a full outdoor kitchen, I've got a lead on a full pre-cut granite countertop for cheap.

Horizontal railing is against code in Canada. How'd you get around it?

[blitz]

It's a ground level deck.

[bleu]

Beautiful deck blitz!

[nzwasp]

AndyL: Are all garage doors 7' tall? I have visited some older houses and I swear they have oversize doors but they all think its standard height?

Anyway I cleaned up the garage. Laid out some classico circle stones for my firepit and put our trailer into the garage - however had to deflate the tires to get it in. The trailer is 7'2" the garage door seemed to be about 6'11".

[AndyL]

Some are 7 some are 8 - basically height works in 3" increments, so 99% of the time theres a way to make it happen...

It looks higher than 24 inches off the ground. Or maybe it's the wide angle you used?

Apparently there's going to be a push to totally banninate the stuff in Canada because idiots.

[blitz]

It's the wide angle, the yard also slopes up to the deck in 2-3 feet around it.

Who cares its fricken gorgeous even better in person - i want blitz's house

[blitz]

Haha, thanks! I'm almost done that side deck where my garbage pile was.

I do love how cable railings are accepted literally everywhere else in the world besides Canada and certain US states.

Step 1) Jack shed up




Step 2) Get stung

Step 3) To be continued.

[AndyL]

Raid!

Wait how much do you like your shed? I've got a thermite recipe and im sure that'd deal with wasps too

[Tik-Tok]

That's what I told my wife. I'm going to set it on fire, then let the fire department take it from there
