Wood working.

[Lupine]

If you didn't know, I'm a carpenter.

Didn't y'all just know it? Jes is short for Jesus.

I do a lot of concrete work too(footings, raising foundations above grade, etc.) including the rebar, forms, and pouring of the concrete.

How are you at working cement pipelines? Were developing about 600 acres of trees & have to move all the valves on every pipeline.

I hate wood. Anything that dents if you drop it sucks.

I've accepted Jes as my personal savior.

And you will be saved my brother.

Matt, I don't even know what a cement pipeline is.
Thanks for the compliments everyone, I got a lot more done this morning untill I ran out of material. Hopefully should wrap up the deck next week. I'll snap a few more pics when I get a chance.

Putty and Paint makes a carpenter what he ain't...............

I spent 10 years slinging a brush, with the majority of my time painting custom homes. There were a few good carpenters that allowed me to make good money...........but there were all too many that cost me time in patching thier screwups so my paint job would look good........I remember these two guys, I called them "Nick and Gouge".... the Sliver Brothers. They could destroy more nice wood trim than anyone I'd ever followed through a home.
I finally stopped working for GC's and just worked remodels and repaints for homeowers with money and that cared about a quality job.

Good work Jes, looks real nice.

i feel your pain. ive been doing tile work for a while. sales, installation, warehouse, you name it. when it comes to installs we make most everyone elses sh*t look good. i could tell you more stories of walls out of square .75" in 3 feet and plumbers nailing and pieceing together shower pans

These clients wanted the best looking stuff so no exposed screws on the deck at all. All the trim and decking are screwed from the back which is a real PITA but it's satisfying work which I've had little of in the past year.

Looks really good. I did landscaping just over last summer, not as a regular job, but it sure feels good to finish the job and look back on it and say, "Yeah, I did all that."

 

[Jes]

Welp, this job is taking a little longer than expected with the bad weather and the fact that the clients keep adding stuff.
Started off by overloading my factory roof rack with redwood fence boards...

...I then hung a couple of gates...

...then I removed an old crappy aluminum sliding glass door in preparation for some french doors that are going in...

...and of course found a bunch of rot I have to fix first...

...I guess that's what ya call job security.
I'll get a pic of the french doors when I get them in.
