New Website!

Well, it has been a while since I have done any new posts. I have been busy @ work (a good thing) and got very sick (a bad thing). But I am better now, and am working on some new items. I haven't been in the shop for a couple of weeks, and am suffering from withdraws. I have a couple of new project ideas that I am really excited about, and just need the time to work on them.

Tomorrow I have to go finish the small remodel I have been working on in West Sac. I am 95% done with the sheetrock mud work. I need to finish skimming a few seams in the AM, and then shoot the texture. I did get the final payment today, so that is a really good thing.

Other big news, I bought a domain name for my business website!!! I am thrilled. I have a temp site up, but will be meeting with a web guru soon to get some better design, etc. I look forward to having the portfolio online, which will make it a lot easier to show potential customers what I can do for them. The website is www.everbuilder.com. I plan on linking the site and this blog together also, which will be cool. I want to be able to have my customers follow the blog while I work on their project in real time. I think that would be a fun thing for them.

Finished and installed!

This is a bit late in the game, but I did finish and install the BBQ Island. My customers were pretty happy with the result, so that makes me happy too! Check it out!



It matched the patio cover very well (another project by me). I figured I would post a pic of that as well for full perspective :)




























Well, now I am on to the next job, a small remodel in the city. A little framing, and little sheetrock, some plumbing. I have a small woodworking job to do as well, a collection box for the church. I also have been doing some more work in the shop. Got a remote switch ran for the Dust Collector, now I just have to finish piping for multiple locations. Spent some time today fine tuning some hand planes, but didn't get completely finished on those. Always something to do, but not enough time/energy/money to do it! Oh well. :)

Tired out

Well, I am tired. I am almost done with the BBQ Island. I stained everything today. I have just a few more things to wrap up and then the install on Monday. The first coat of Minwax Dark Walnut stain looked good, it just didn't look like wood I was trying to match it to, unfortunately. I kind of expected as much, as the original stain was not a transparent oil stain, but a semi transparent water based oil emulsification exterior deck stain. After listening to my wife, I then used the other stain (Flood exterior semi transparent deck and siding stain-good stuff) and now it looks killer! I haven't taken any pics yet, cause I'm tired, and dinner is almost ready :) I will take some tomorrow and post then. Now I just need to figure out how to get it into my truck...
