Another busy week! One more fence panel left at the ongoing fence project in Old Hickory, TN. Our client Lisa has been in no rush to have this completed, so I've been going there in between other clients. I also had to get tricky when it came to the tree right on the back fence line, and create a gap to allow the tree to grow through.

The Verdei Group, a property management group out of Franklin, TN that I've done a tremendous amount of work for in 2023 has taken over another townhome property in Nashville. They have been slowly lining up more projects for our company, including a pressure wash job this past week at this townhome complex. We used a 15 inch surface cleaner accessory to deep clean the pool deck in the center of the complex. Using our pressure washer, we serviced one of our regular clients by deep cleaned around her house, including her front walkway, and her back patio (not pictured here).

I also installed 8 blinds for Laurie, a new client at another property managed by The Verdei Group. As well as hanging a vanity mirror for her.

My long time client Linda, who lives in Thompson Station called me back this week to re-hang a chandelier that I hung at her home that she sold down the street from this larger home. As I mentioned in last week's "Project of the Week" album. She also had me re-hang an old open shelf unit seen on the wall behind the chandelier in one of the photos.

Then finally, I installed 4 ceiling fans at a home in Walton's Grove. The first neighborhood I lived in when I first moved to Tennessee, and where I still have a few regular clients as well.

After a well needed break, we are back at work, starting with our awesome regular clients! First up was our regular client Linda. Her and her family sold their home in Thompson Station, TN, and purchased one just a little bit larger down the street in the same neighborhood. The items I re-hung are not pictured here (since I posted them already from their first house), and I only posted photos of some new additions. Including some new paintings, outdoor plant hangers, and hooks for her wind chimes. Among a few other things.

Grant, another regular client of mine who lives in the Del Webb Community in Mount Juliet also called me back to add some new plywood walk planks in his attic for more storage space. As well as a raised shelf for some of his larger boxes.

Then of course, Lisa. I continued on her fence project with the addition of a few new panels on the back fence line. I also installed her new white microwave which matches all her other new white appliances. Apparently the installers do not install appliances on to tile. I'm not sure why, because I've installed dozens of things onto tile. Perhaps they didn't want to risk chipping the tile, but that's where experience in this area helps.

Late last year we finished up renovations in half of a duplex to prepare it for re-sale. The duplex sold, but more items came up that need to be completed before the transaction could be completed. A couple of these items were that the dishwashers in both units needed to be replaced, which I did last week. Another is a window replacement in the vacant unit which we renovated last year. During the renovation we replaced the exterior trim around the existing window, and it all had to be removed for this installation. All the interior trim was removed as well. Window flashing was used for improved waterproofing, and then all the trim was re-installed. Some of it new, including the interior casing and sill. I painted the casing and sill, but still need to touch up the wall paint around the perimeter.

I also hung a couple of custom antique clocks for a client of ours in Thompson Station.

After the completion of some various punch list items, we finally completed our work at the BJ's Warehouse Club project in Mount Juliet

We finished the gate, and the rest of Lisa's fence up to the car port. We didn't want to cut the trees down, so we had to go around them Like we show in previous Projects of the Week photos. In this case, we cut out the fence around a smaller tree, and built a box around it. This box is also functional and Lisa plans to put a plant or two on it.

Bobby and Krys thought we were finishing up what was supposed to be the past week on the BJ's Warehouse Club project, but more projects were added, so we will be there a bit longer. They have been doing the painting over night, and during the day we engaged in various other tasks. We installed the chargers for their floor scrubbers, new signage on some doors, filled in large gaps between the aluminum door frame and the eve, then painted the fill material. We also painted the large air duct in the tire service bay, and touched up paint on the metal in one of the office rooms. Along with many other small tasks.

The rain still interfered with our exterior projects, including Lisa's fence project. However, we managed to get some fence boards up in the angled corner on a slope which by using a string made it super simple. I also created an exact match to the left fence gate on the right. I then set more posts for the rest of the fence that will run up to the corner of the car port.

This past week we also re-visited a past project. Last year we helped to renovate one of the units (Unit A) of my client's duplex to get it ready to get up on the market. However, there are a few tasks that need to be completed first. In Unit B they needed a new bathroom fan vent installed, and a new dishwasher in both units. Soon I will be replacing the small kitchen window next to the back door. Then various smaller tasks.

My guys, Krys and Bobby continue to plug away at the BJ's Warehouse store in Mount Juliet also. That over night project will be winding-down this coming week.

This week the rain continued on and off, but I was able to get a few more fence panels up at Lisa's new house in Old Hickory, TN. Including the setting a few more fence posts as well. I also downloaded a new, and fairly powerful & well known design software this past week. It's called "Home Designer" by Cheif Architect. I then watched a few tutorials to learn a few basics during those rainy days when I couldn't work on Lisa's fence. 

I talked with two people who would like to hire me to possibly install new cabinetry in their kitchens, so I used Home Designer to whip up an initial design & layout for each of them. For one of them, I took a floor plan that they acquired with the home that they just purchased, and plugged it into Home Designer. Not only did I design a new kitchen for them, but prceeded to add a new 1/2 bathroom, and enlarge their Master Bedroom and bathroom. As well as a few other smaller modifications. They are talking to a General Contractor about doing some of the major work, based on my plans, but I will be participating in kitchen part of the project. Including the installation of the cabinetry, appliances, finished plumbing, and other accessories. As well as the demolition beforehand.

Bobby & Krys continue to make progress with the overhead painting project at the BJ's Warehouse store . Another week or so, and that should be complete. I also showed up at BJ's this past week, and did some caulking around the inside window framing neer the membership desk. I also went to a townhome complex in Nashville to install 4 new hardwired smoke detectors. This property is managed by The Verdei Group. The Property Management company out of Franklin, TN that I committed nearly all of 2023 working for at another older townhome property, also in Nashville.

The fence project at my client Lisa's continues. I was only able to get over there a few days this week due to weather, and only for a few hours. I was able to remove some old dead plants in the left corner and get some panels up there. Then I dug a couple holes and set a couple new posts at the end of the week. This upcoming week I'll be continuing up this left side, and eventually to the car port. Which will include a new vehicle gate as well.

Team members, Bobby and Krys continued with the overhead metal/conduit touch up painting project at BJ's Warehouse store in Mount Juliet this past week. We also engaged in the completion of a few punch list items that the construction company who hired us asked us to do. Bobby and Krys cleaned off the tops of the large refrigerators in the store, and I painted the truck guard posts. I also painted a tapering curb "Safety Yellow" in the back of the store to identify a possible tripping hazard.
