    sink is plumbed, this weekend i will cut the hole in the wall for the external venting range hood, put up the concrete boards and tile the whole wall by the window.

    too bad i cut my left thumb today, was to lazy to get cutters for a zip tie and slipped, trying to avoid wires.

    Not wanting to be that guy and you may be joking but some 2x’s, couple sheets of MDF, caster wheels and a framing gun will have you that bench in 30 min. Don’t waste pocket screws on that.

    We have a lot of retired people that live around us. We were a little worried. But honestly they were very excepting and interested. I think they were happy to see people our age putting in the work.
    Now the Gatlin gun maybe a next spring project. Though I'm more of a one shot one kill type of guy:flag:

    eggfooyoung You no eat more!

    Me too bud. I was kidding, mostly. I've just had a bear of a client for the last 18 months. Working at Wendy's is becoming increasingly more appealing.

    Why do they always ending being that kind of client on the longest lasting projects?

    because they never had their ducks in a row when they started their project…and I truly believe there are only a few variations to this type of client story…

    My last project was the deck railing. After replacing all of the wooden deck planks in 2021 with Trex composite decking, and it turned out so well, 2022 was the time to replace the rotting/warped wooden deck railing with the Trex composite railing. The picture of the rotten/warped wooden railing doesn't do justice as to how bad it was. The bottom boards were bad enough that some of the aluminum spindles were falling out because of the rotting and sag of the bottom boards.

    So we bought the Trex railing along with Trex post cover sleeves, crowns, and bases and this was the result....

    Because that kind of client always makes the project go on longer than planned.

    The railing and deck are nice, but that hedge!

    LOL.....that's some trimming in the burn pile, waiting to dry out enough to burn it. But I agree with you, that would be a horrible looking hedge......if it were one. Unless of course you are talking about the row of Leyland Cypress monster shrubs right behind the burn pile. Unfortunately, I have zero control over those.....they're my neighbor's privacy barrier.
