I do have a forrest blade. Not sure what model it is though. It's definitely a 80th one though. |

Back at the kitchen and stair installs, after doing some rotted floor replacement at the mill that needed emergency repair, as in somebody or something is going to go through.
The newel posts extend down through the subfloor and are anchored into the floor framing from below.... rock solid.

Mitered nosing at newel post came out pretty good......cutting the nosing to fit around the newel posts is not easy...got to take your time.
The 35 pvc lampposts that I built in my shop during covid are all used up....most every house here sold preconstruction...the others sold as soon as they were finished.

Got a request to build a pair of "farmhouse style" driveway gates.
Located some heavy duty hinges that should do the job.
Important to remember to make a left and and right hand version....and not two of the same.

Yep.... two layers of 1X6 pvc ...with tight fitting lap joints....laminations all pvc glued. Was concerned about too much flex in the pvc trim...but when all glued up together and doubled...its fine. |

I'd love to live in a house with stairs built post building codes, nice detail on those. I don't quite get the single cabinets on either side of the vent hood though, that seems like a quirky design. |

Where is this development? Still up in forest park?
Different that someone went with dark kitchen cabinets as trend seems to be leaning towards white cabinets. Last few kitchens we done been white. Wife is makin me paint our 20k in cherry SChrock cabinets white. Criminal.
Where is micro? Drawer micro? We just did one in the custom kitchen we just finished with similar good Big fan of the micro drawer.

The trend for sure has been towards painted cabinets ....mostly linen white but also some greys and blues.
Still have some customers that like that dark stain...I dont....shows every speck of dust....and the tiniest of scratches!
My wife also ....wants the kitchen cabinets that i custom built 30 years ago...ash with a light stain ..painted now. Have you gotten any quotes or would you diy.???
Micro drawer is in the island cabinets on some of these kitchens... like you mentioned....most don't want the old combination hood fan microwave over the stove anymore....and put the stainless chimney hood instead.
Another option is a wall cabinet with an open shelf they make for the mw.
You can see it in the last picture next to the fridge.
Got another stairway to finish starting tomorrow....

Rough framing....its got a few errors but correctable...ill set the upstairs newel posts and nosings first so they can do hardwood flooring up there.

Our painter goes in after the skim coat plaster is done and primes everything. Then paints all the ceilings white and gets just the first coat of wall paint on before we start the interior trim. Makes his job much easier when he comes back to do finish coat of paint. |

Painted bath cabinets....its hard to see but there is a little gold colored paint in the crevices. Newel posts are set....i cut open the subfloor so the post can extend down and be fastened into the floor framing.

To fit treads to the skirtboard....which is seldom going to be a perfect 90 degree cut...i cut them about half an inch longer...then scribe them. This gets the length and cut at once.

Who makes that compass/scribing tool? I have always had a love/hate relationship with my cheap compass...

I love your comments. All our kitchen cabinets are custom made....40 years ago. The guy who built them died 25 years ago and they are a work of art. The amazing thing is 15 years ago (and they were stained) my wife had me paint them linen white. Horrendous job as there are 23 doors. Took each one off prepped with Kills' oil based paint and then I forget how many coats of paint but they still look beautiful.
I also found your comment that micro over the stove are out. We never did it as we have 2 cabinets over the hood over the stove.
Question: What is a micro draw? |
No boat, back in the suds.

I dread painting our kitchen cabinets....huge job I would guess...I would almost rather redo with factory cabinets ...would be faster for sure

I don’t know why you’re so anal with the cuts, can’t you caulk up to like a quarter inch?
Any time you want to rehab my 160 year old staircase just let me know.
