While machining stainless flanges for some custom 3uz headers, did about 8 hours of yard work and raking…. That’s about 30 days straight of work now… being on 3 lots is nice after the spring clean is done, ignore the ghetto deck or don’t lol…

Who did you use and what's their contact? Sounds reasonable to me. Going by cost of materials from a few years ago, it's already almost half that price.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Wasn't my house, but parents called on Monday and told me their furnace is dead. Went over there and took a look and all signs pointed to the motherboard being fried. Ordered a new board for $150 and it arrived yesterday. Pulled the old board out and sure enough it's burned on the back. Took all of 15 min to replace the board and their furnace is back up and running, a huge relief for retired parents with limited funds. I'm getting good at fixing furnaces, they are pretty simple things actually. This is the second furnace I fixed, first one was at my own place a few years back when my gas valve was sticking, and thus the furnace randomly not firing up. That was $125 gas valve....not many expensive parts in these given their costs and repair costs charged.
And speaking of burning boards...my induction stove also died a few weeks ago, luckily under Ikea warranty still (5 year warranty....3 months left )....the repair guy ordered an $800 part, which is basically the whole major board within the induction stove and it arrived and was installed. He showed me the problem....another burn right on the board

Got all the cabinet carcasses attached to the wall, and the bottom row primed.
Added the first of the top shelf carcasses to check fitment. I have to still add the spacers between them to allow for a mounting space for the top rail of the rolling ladder.
finished building the last 2 shelf carcasses that will fit like the picture above over the middle and end.
Next up, build the spacer block and start building the facia boards for the front of all the carcasses. There is light at the end of the tunnel boys!

This is cool. I might have to do something like this. For me, I really like the factory finish on things and hate the "dyi" look...what's the trick to making it look professional? Pocket-hole jig seems like step #1 from what I have seen, or perhaps a very nice table saw first and then a pocket-hole jig..This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Man that looks awesome.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
This is entirely do-able without a pocket hole jig, but it's a lot easier with one. Just be really attentive to where you are putting the pocket holes so that you have an easy time hiding them.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
As for a table saw, they are great to have, but, if you are just starting out, I would recommend a track saw instead. much easier to break down sheet goods with one instead of trying to man handle a full 4x8 sheet of 3/4 plywood through a tablesaw, and much safer too. Combine a track saw with a nice compound mitre saw, and you can pretty much build anything with really good results. Also, don't cheap out on saw blades, get good ones and maintain them well.
and what you see there is no where near the finished product. This is just the carcasses, or framing. Once this is all completed and installed, I will be installing hardwood over everything and sanding it all down to give it a real nice finish to it. It won't look anything like this when I am done.
