Jared's Bathroom
Jared called me over to finish his master bathroom. When they bought the house there was a doorway going from the master bathroom into the kitchen. In the corner of the bathroom there was an old tile shower. That was kind of weird so they wanted to rip out the shower and make a wall where the doorway was. So we ripped out the door and the old shower and filled in the wall there. The old tile shower had bad grout so water was leaking down into the basement. They installed a new tub there. I sheet rocked around it. Then I put cultured marble around the tub and put new vinyl flooring down. I put waterproof base around the floor and siliconed it in. Now there is a more watertight seal to the entire bathroom.
The pictures don't show it but I put the toilet back in and put the shower valve and tub spout and shower spout it. I put the exhaust fan and light in as well.20 June 2009
New Side Fence at my house
A few weeks and thousands of dollars later; I have a strait, strong, level, plumb, privacy fence. I lost some property and I paid a concrete cutter to cut out some of my driveway but I have a strait fence now. "A good fence makes good neighbors" I like my neighbors so much better now that I have put a 7 ft tall fence between us.
I poured a concrete footing under all the posts so that way my fence isn't sitting in the dirt soaking up moisture. Now those mangy cat's can't get crawl under the fence into my yard.
I made it step down here so when pulling out of the driveway I can see what's in the street.
This shows the fence frame. I bought a cordless impact driver to drive the timber lock screws that lock the 4x4's above to the posts. The 4x4's above carry the weight of the pickets since I kept them 1/2 inch above the concrete. I don't want them sitting down in water.
Here is a view from the back yard. Notice how level the fence is. I bought a laser level and cut all the posts level since my lot is level I said "Why not have a level fence?"
I want to thank Chippy for all the hours he spent under my direction working on the fence. Even though I paid him for his time I feel like I got an excellent value from him. I also thank Alicia for spending a few hours one Saturday helping paint and install the pickets. What goes around comes around.
