Putting in some overtime today get some badly deteriorating fence posts replaced and install the stair tread on deck project. We miter & epoxy corners because we care!

Great job by Tim today! The young man really stepped up while we were a man short last two days! Kudos buddy!

Been working hard all week...still cant believe its late October with this weather! Not complaining either!!!

Low voltage lighting is pulled & functioning. Up to the Owners to sort out the associated app & Smart functions. 😅

Will have to do some OT to finish up, as next 2 jobs are already waiting on us. Back at it tomorrow!

As always, my guys are putting in WORK! Even when we are up against it, both William & Tim are always rising to every challenge. Ive got a great little crew here! I am proud & blessed to have these guys!!!

Another rough one is put to rest!

This was a flooded basement job we started several weeks ago. Sadly, the Homeowners Insurance policy denied the claim citing the pool as the cause of the water damage and not the tornado that dumped 10" of rain in just a few hours. 🙄

We were able to pull out most of the water damaged material a while back, but this sink base was a total loss. Took some time to get a matching recreation custom cabinet made from StyleLine Custom Cabinet & Top Co. And today was the day we (somehow) fit it back in place without disturbing the rest of the basement bar, the built in appliances, and very little of the finished plumbing. Like threading a needle in the dark with eyes closed. Also did some remediation on the faulty window well by refilling the stone up to the perimeter drain and applying urethane caulking to seal the window well to the foundation.

Im unbelievablely proud of the work my team does daily...William had to do some serious parkour inside the deep window well in very confined space, and Tim was "Mr On The Spot" fetching tools, hauling stone and cleaning the beejezus out of the job before we walked out.

We left our work looking like the event *never* happened!

Deck is fully framed, just need to apply the bitumen tape to the top joists...good old Home Depot sent a 6 pack of 3 5/8 tape, not the 6 pack of 1 5/8" tape I ordered...🤷‍♂️

Back off ladies, the Wee Man is my foreman...does the work of four men!

And I sanctified the job with a proper sacrifice (and approved bandaging) of the Carpentry Gods!


Starting to look like something. Should finish up framing tomorrow, then we get it inspected

Trenching & burying the downspouts & sump discharge before laying out a 4mil v***r barrier & layer of 3/4 crushed stone...im always amazed how many deck builds skip this important step! Controls weeds, discourages critters, keeps the bottom of the deck dry.

Always a plus having a hand from Elia’s Brick Paving...these guys are BEASTS!

A busy day! Dug post holes for the new concrete piers...can always find some interesting buried treasure! 😳

Then, of course, The Home Depot makes 3 simultaneous deliveries to the same job, including one totally random guy in an SUV to hand over 1 small box of hanger nail. Truly a model of efficiency! 😅 After some dueling forklifts, we got it sorted out!

To whoever invented the 1 man post auger, sir or madame, I would like to buy you a b**r!

Had to call in the big guns! Very happy to have Elia’s Brick Paving lend a few hands (and an awesome machine) to help us remove the old concrete patio & walk.

She was THICC too! 😅

Bangers & Smash, aftermath. Debris is loaded into the dumpster, permit approved & issued, JULIE locations are in process, old concrete coming out next week. Ready to dodge the fall rains and get this new deck in!

Bangers & Smash ride again! Wrecking decks, and collecting checks!

One of the worst decks we have seen in a while. Most of the framing was so rotten, it might as well have been load bearing mulch. Also hiding an original 1970ish concrete patio. After we load up a dumpster tomorrow, will make a plan to break up the concrete.
