Okay, this doesn’t have anything to do with vaping but I know you folks have talents aside from your vaping hobbies and I’m no different. I’m a carpenter by trade and am currently working as a maintenance man for one of the largest distributors of camping and outdoors gear in the world. I love my job but I also take on large side projects. A good friend of mine wanted to put an addition on his little country cottage and asked me to help him. We started in November 2017 and have only been able to work on it weekends and some evenings.
My friend is an air traffic controller and him, his dad and stepdad were my help. They wanted to learn how to build things and now that we have almost made it through this project they are good help. The porch on this house is huge and I love it.
I’m starting this thread because I’m sure some of you awesomely talented people have some bad ass projects and I wanna see ‘em, so if you want post some pics a story on this thread… good day
Looks awesome, a lot of hard work by the look of it and it’s a bit more then “an addition” to his country cottage It’s a bloody new house!
Guess he’ll be grateful for life! lots of BBQ’s and beers coming up… besides the ones you already had…
Well done!
Oh yeah we’ve already said how we can’t wait to sit on the porch and drink some beers instead of working every weekend. The hog roast is planned as well. The property backs up to a river too so we will have many fish fries
If by careful planning you mean digging a hole starting a fire and icing the beer then yes very carefully we must also select only the best local farm fed hog for the feast
True and I do love cash I owned my own construction business for 10 years until the economy took a dump around 2006 . I have so many side jobs I have to turn people down and I can charge a very fair amount for custom jobs. I used to build custom mansions on private golf courses… I’m good and there aren’t many people left with this very particular set of skills
Thanks, I seriously hate demolition and clean up it’s the worst part of remodeling but It’s got to be done. We filled up six huge dumpsters and will probably fill up one more and that doesn’t include the scraps and garbage we will burn
It’s a lot of hard work, but it’s one of those things where you can look back at the end of the day and say wow we made some serious progress, that’s why I like it. If you’re not physically broken you could do this stuff, you just need someone to show you how.
