That makes me nervous too. I think I would have spent some time learning how to do some sort of timber frame scarf joint there. Those mending plate connectors, and the way they are being used, looks to me to be a problem just waiting to happen.

I dunno, it…

Just got a call from an old client to build a shouse this morning.

Sorpa wrote:This one belongs here or not. Because I didn’t check the code.

3 storeys exterior staircase with 6’x 10′ landing platforms.

I would’ve notched a foot of those 6×6, put them together with 1/2″ carriage bolts AND wrapped them in that 1/8″ metal sheet.

Am I paranoid? Enough? 😀

What say you?

What a twist in the one in the first photo.…[Read more]

Just a day of clean up today. Get a sidewalk ready to pour on one site Fix a trailer and a few other odds and ends.

Trying to wrap up a few estimates and things like that also.

MY guess is it is an accessibility issue. We see a lot of that in the states also

Tearing out come concrete walks today and cleaning up a yard at a house we are remodeling.

The remodel has been a slow process, the owner is supposed to be doing a lot of work but they are never there doing anything. I am glad it is a T & M job. We end up doing a lot of what they say they are going to do.

Power wash well to remove anything loose and resurface is the only advice I would have. You need to get everything that is loose off before doing anything additional.

I would say it is poor workmanship that caused it possibly overworking the surface or to much water added tot he mix.

Was it poured late in the year? If so I have seen similar…[Read more]

Got a second story patio door installed yesterday. Three wide with a transom. Had to have it shipped in three sections and mull it onsite to be able to get it up there.

I am glad to be done with windows on that project for this year. My guess it that there will be more to replace on that site again next year when budgets allow. I have…[Read more]

I Use the 4100 with the gravity rise stand on a regular basis. I really like that saw and it has performed well for me for years. We use it in framing and trim jobs with ease.

I have a couple of smaller saws similar to the 1031, and they are just not as well built or durable. We also use them a lot, but unless you like kneeling on the ground…[Read more]

Replacing windows today. we should have 3 complete and then a patio door tomorrow. Nice to get a couple extra days at the lake.
