new office

[WarnerConstCo.]

I have a bunch more of the same house.
Just finished up 3 months of work there and will be back at the end of January for more.

Sort of  [big grin]   I applied individual 5/16" poplar bead board over 1/2" BB.  I wish I could find a good plywood supplier around me.

I did talk them into glass shelves though. [cool]

 

[WarnerConstCo.]

I did a ton of stuff here.

The only thing I didnt take a picture of was the cabinet corner units and a small out building I sided and had gutters put on.

New tops, fixed the tile and grout joint at the splash, new faucets I have about 1/3 of the house done.

Yes, there is crown in the utility room

 

[Marc2010]

Nice Job !!
I liked how you cut the crown on the outside corners. not a normal 45 degree that you would normally see. And definitely the glass shelves was a must.
Nice

Very nice job Darcy.
I also like the glass shelves & how the crown corners are done.

 

[WarnerConstCo.]

Thanks guys,  I did 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and one laundry /utility room.  There were 62 corners.

A lot of hard outside corners so I thought I would break it up in the private part of the house.

The corners were all he talked about for a couple days as well.  [big grin]

Just 22.5's for those, the collins clamps work good for them and I really got my $$ worth out of my new coping foot.

 

[Ken Nagrod]

Very nice.  I too was noticing the 22 1/2 's you did.  I like it.  I guess now you can go Festool shopping with the fund repleneshment.  Of course, save a little something for the family and any downtime.  [big grin]

Nice job Darcy, really love the outside corners on the crown. Great job, really shows off your skills. I'll have to keep that in mind.
A couple of notes on other items just because it's the type of stuff I look at.
- Bath and kitchen receptacles are required to be GFCI protected. They look like normal outlets and I don't see a GFI breaker in the open panel. Wouldn't want the client to get zapped.
- I'd have to look it up but I believe even B-vent requires a clearance collar to drywall
- I looked up the foam insulation a few years ago for a client. Don't remember the details but it was required to be X distance from a heat source. The flue would count as a heat source
- If you installed the stove, did you install the anti-tip bracket? Another kid just did from a tipping stove a little over a week ago.

All I did was put the tops in.  the counter outlets are on a gfci line outlet.  Not a breaker in the panel, although there are two more panels in the garage.

Is b vent double wall?  I have no idea, I just installed the crown.  They could probably use a thimble for that flue.

I didn't touch the stove.  All I really did was trim work, some storm doors, sided a building and replaced tops. (3 months worth of nothing much)

 

[Ken Nagrod]

Yes, B-vent is double walled with a separation (air gap) between the walls of the pipes.  Darcy, just remember - it's your fault, whatever happens, anywhere.  Find a good place to hide, hopefully with internet access cause we'd still like to see pictures  [big grin].

Three months of nothing much sounds sounds good a 1/4 of the year taken care of [thumbs up]

what were the cost implications of supplying glass shelves I am assuming they are toughened glass.

 

[Jay Knoll]

Looks great!  [thumbs up]Now if you can convince them to trash those ugly doors you're on the way to getting another bunch of work.

[Tezzer]

The office looks sensational. Wish mine looked that good.

 

[MarkusS]

Very good looking job!!!

Are those grey "electrical cabinets" still standard in the U.S.?

Glass is expensive.  They had almost 300.00 bucks in the 9 shelves there.

That will happen sometime, it may be a few years since there are 35 doors in the house and I am already setting up to be able to make them interior doors.

There will always be something to do at this place.

 

[WarnerConstCo.]

Thanks guy's.  They are very, very happy with everything and so far his biggest complaint was not finding something to complain about.

MarkusS- those are the original fuse panels for the house, there are also two more in the garage.

They are not much different then the brand new one's. 

This is also the place with the sunken living room, that I posted pictures of.
