Came out looking really good for sure. Do the toe kicks clip on to the leveling legs in that setup?

I would be interested in durability as well.

Yes they clipped on the legs. I chose not to use their system for the island and framed…[Read more]

So here is the before and after on this job.
IKEA leveling legs are nice to adjust the cabinets but the rest I could live with out

No finish ends, there were applied mdf cover panels, cabinets were odd sizes. Installing an overhead microwave on upper cabinets 15″ deep was a hassle

Well it was a pita and I dont really like it but dont know what else I could have done.

I rabbeted a 1/4 lip over each side of the saddle to conceal the seams. The owner was hoping for flush but…..

Surprise Bosch never entered the tile cutting game. At least I dont know of a wet saw they make

That looks good. I ultimately choose to tape up the side to trap more dust which allows the vac to work even better. A notch in the leading shroud floor plate is as good as it gets.

The batteries alone, what a deal.

Where were you able to sell off the other stuff?

I am not one to sell equip to upgrade. I wish I did. I just use it till it dies or it sits on the shelf

I got a new laser sort of. .my PSL 180 was covered under warranty from last December. They sent me a new one……hope to have a better performance.

That’s great. When mine was out I was given a new one too.

Cool. I haven’t checked it yet but we get a whole new warranty period from the date it was received.

Unless salts killed the rebar, under sized perhaps #4

Wow how does something like that happen.
I know you guys do shallow foundations in Florida but I can’t see the sand transferring vibration enough to jar the earth.

One new tool I picked up was the Pamfast glue gun from fastenmaster. Will try it out this week.

So the owner found a nice square, flat new construction oak register on line. Even jointed for new boards but I dont think I can use it. I diverted my attention elsewhere for the time being.

My tool rant is what do you trust?????

My PSL laser line level, maybe 7 months old only a few uses seems to be off level. I set it up for a kitchen and at 12 ft out it dips….I placed my 6’6″ STABILA level on the line its a good 1/8 on that span WTF…I trust the level

Whats the point of the laser? these things are so temperamental to put…[Read more]

Awe man….not impressed. Owner picked up the slack assembling pieces but….In our line of work we need to assess the whole room and improvise where needed.

The instructions are stupid….draw on the wall make reference marks….take a seat have coffee. hang….

We have different height cabinets than the directions and all of the references…[Read more]

@roninohio I would imagine that keeps you humble huh…..you get to do some cool stuff though and use a wide variety of skills. Im sure you will do a hell of job as usual.

I finally got a window of time to get back to the porch from a couple of months back. I think we’re done the owner is doing projects so its a bit messy for my pictures. 🙁

The goal is to recess like the video of Andrews but I need to make this work in a slim saddle. Thats the challenge. It is what it is. The owner doesnt quite comprehend and keeps showing me some from the net that come with their own frame. It still needs to be set in the floor or trim

Anytime I use a handsqueezed stapler I still have to follow with a hammer. Specially with old dried out wood.

Was wondering if the powered ones are any improvement

I don’t know what you want to see. Remove a 2×4 wall and you see sub floor and several rectangular ducts.

My preference would be to move the register away from the transition to the wood side but I would need to create some damage below to extend the duct.
