finishing jobs

We just closed out and finished a major rebuild repair job her in the southbay. It was a lot of work to get this house back in order, but we did. Now it is water tight, and has a new lease on life... so to speak. When we first started the garage opening was failing, the beam was snapped, do to dryrot and the forces of stress over many years. We love to repair and rebuild.

I recently went to interview some folks that wanted a cabinet repaired. these people were messed up, I mean- they seemed like they were on drugs or something. i don't like dealing with humans like that! check out the clutter in their bathroom.

Your attention please this is a public service announcement, there are now officially 7 billion souls on our little finite planet. Let's all try to get along. The birthrate minus the death rate is positive 240,000 souls per day. I hope none of them want to be surfers! Lastly food for thought, when the total population went from 1 billion to 2 billion it took roughly 120 years. Recently when it went from 6 billion to 7billion it took just 12 short years. Is this sustainable ? You tell me.

Sometimes when you are in the mood to blog, you just do it,



there really ain't nothin to it.



Just press fingers to keys,



and before you can even sneeze,



words start to form on the screen,



as you decide if the tone should be nice or mean.



The Zenbuilder will see you through it!

Here is how you properly set up a small job with maximum efficiency. Notice the trash cans at either end of the scaffolding, the table, and plastic to catch stucco debris. If you set a job up properly, the clean-up, and overall progress will be smoother. This one man show is unstoppable!

plastic fantastic

I had to create a hermetically sealed environment similar to a Dell computer micro-chip room, or a negative air-pressure chamber to both scrape and power sand the Walnut post. This temporary structure also kept the owner's dog and cat's at bay. Today it gets two more coats of clear semi-gloss, then i will start on replacing all the stair treads.

I'm so ver-clamped.

I wrapped a 4 by 6 post in Walnut ( expensive) This son-of-gun took a lot of clamps as you can see. I will show you what it looks like at finish when it is.
