Photo Archive - July/August

This past week I was able to catch up some accounting & office work in the afternoons because it was far to hot to work outside at that time due to the heat wave. However, I managed to finish up Rickye's fence, and side gate working in the morning only. The plan was not to replace the fence post in the corner, but once I removed the old fence panels, we noticed a considerable amount of rot around the base of the post. I removed the old post and concrete, then set a double post. I used construction adhesive, and three 8 inch carriage bolts to put them together before I set them into concrete. I recessed the nuts and washers into the one side of the post, then cut the bolt flush with the post so no one would hit them as they walked through the opening. The 2nd post is for  when the neighbor re-installs a new gate on their side. Next week I'm, going back to clean up, and move off the job. At that time I'll cut off the tops of the new posts

I also stopped in at a regular client of mine in Franklin to install a new closet shelf for her rental property.

Our client Rickye had his glass shower door and panel installed this past week. My Nephew Everett and I also took a day to do a little housekeeping, and rented a truck to haul off the old fence panels that we removed so far. As well as a pile of shrubs & branches that were in our way so we could continue the fence line. We discovered that a fluffy little Skunk had taken residence under the pile of old fence panels that we had already removed, and was under it the entire time we were loading up the truck. We also spotted a little rabbit poking around the pile earlier in the week.

This past week I took some time off and explored the Smokey Mountains for a few days with my Nephew Everett, who also has started working with us when we returned. He recently had graduated after two years in the Job Corp where he was taught many trade skills, and he's ready to put those skills to good use on Rickye's fence project.

Rickye finished up the paint in the master bathroom, and re-installed their toilet as well while I was on my mini-vacation. The glass shower surround & door will be installed in another week or so.

Now that the large format porcelain tile has been installed, and grouted. It's now time to finish up all the trim and baseboards, and prepare them for paint. Ricky has been helping out as well by finishing up some of the caulking that I started, and painted one side of one of the doors. This coming week we should finish up all, or most of the painting including the walls, doors, and trim. I also installed the new vent fan and ducting in the toilet room as well.

I was able to get back over to my friend Lisa's place and put up the rest of the fence boards for her car port that we had. We are about still short about a dozen, and had to order more, so she should be all wrapped up soon. Thank goodness that she hasn't been in any rush to have it completed, and allowed me to work on it a little bit here and there.

This past week I also engaged in a few other smaller projects, and some are pictured here. I re-painted an exterior door (inside and out) for Midtown Loft in Nashville for The Verdei Group, and hung a few items for a regular client our ours in Thompson Station.

 All the large format tile & brushed nickel bull nosing has been installed, and grouted at Ricky's. Including the shower pan mosaic tile. We then proceeded to start the shower and bath trim, which will be completed this coming week. I'm waiting on some special fittings to be delivered to finish up both handheld shower heads. One for inside the shower, and the other next to the tub spout. We moved the new freestanding tub into place as well. Ricky scheduled a glass company to come out next week to measure for their new glass shower door & panel. 

I've been working on and off at Lisa's ongoing fence project also. I set 3 posts at the end of her carport where her gate will be. I also installed a kitchen light fixture for a new client of ours this past week.
