No more ranch style.

[WarnerConstCo.]

I have been working on this place for going on 4 years, this summer.

It has had a new roof, new windows, new doors, new insulation, new hardie plank, new soffet and fascia, new seamless gutters, Tigerwood deck, new stamped front porch, new electrical service, refinished oak floors, new tile entry way, and probably some more stuff too. 

I am making all new door jambs, hanging 6 panel oak doors, new base board and shoe, new window and door casings, crown moulding and I am opening a wall up slightly and making a new cased opening between the dining room and living room, some floor patching (moving a heat duct) and a cherry inlay/transition.

No inside pictures yet.

I am trimming out a knee wall and some jazz like that.

I milled up some lumber after dinner and put these together.  I started with RS Red Oak. 

The last three are just to show that the DC with the OF1400 is pretty good.

Next batch of pictures.  These will go around a knee wall and a sort of fake knee wall.

I was finally able to get back to working on this, after lunch today.

I had to move two more outlets at the place, plus the furnace was put on it's own circuit. 

Tomorrow I can go get the archway installed, finish installing the bases and caps and get back to running some trim.

I am going to have to wet the face of the ply wood some, before I bend it and leave it in place.

Glad to see that you are continuing on this house.

Looking forward to more progress updates!  Love the kerfing and bend.

Looks good. Some nice looking Oak there. It'll be nice to see it up in the house.

Damn this house. I am up to about 25 hours in just moving and repairing stuff.

Had to move two light switches (led to finding taped together wire splices in attic, which led to a new lighting circuit being run), two outlets had to be moved (which led to discovering the furnace was tied into all the recepts in the house, which led to a new circuit for the furnace), removed some oak flooring to move a heat duct from the middle of a doorway (which led to having to re-route some plumbing lines).

I think I have almost 25 extra billable hours, just so I can get these 3 rooms finished.

Oh well, back at it tomorrow.

Took the family on a little drive tonight (3 minutes tops) to take some pictures and do a little visiting.

Walk in the front door:

Kitchen to dining room:

Dinning to living room:

I am installing crown, base, shoe, new jambs, hanging new doors, window and door casings, plus turning the closet beside the cased opening into an AV componet built-in. 

Moving that dang floor duct:

After waiting for a week for the door knobs and other work that needed done else where, I was finally able to get back out this week and wrap things up.
