We have so many houses to finish right now....I'm having a hard time keeping up. My hands are feeling the pain from overuse and abuse of 46 years in this profession. I love my job...but the clock is ticking....

I hear you Bob, nice clean work there.

I'm going 7 days a week trying to keep up myself. 4-5 jobs going right now and looking at more, I'll take it when it comes

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Slip.....it's great that you so are busy, but be sure to make some time for yourself to unwind. It seems like a lot of guys are taking every job they can right now......thinking that the bubble is going to burst....that this roaring economy has to slow down.

We are selling houses in the high $300's at a pace I have never seen before. Working class buyers confident about the direction of the economy under our present leadership.

Well....the alternative is to paint it with a brush.... the painter felt masking off the stained treads and handrail ...for spraying....saved time overall.

I'll get a pic of the completed job...I put up some of the work in progress for realism.

Little kitchen i'm finishing up.

in the houses we used to build the rails would always get finished beforehand. If at all possible the finish guy could get all the stair parts, posts,skirts and risers done then the painter would spray it all without the treads in place. Had 3 coats of finish on the treads before they went in place also. Did the 4th coat at the very end. Very rarely did any of our floors get stained, always clear coated.
