New project in loveladies

I like how you guys work - old school. I remember coming up as a carpenter, we always set up the saw, had a dedicated sawyer (on the larger jobs) and cut all our own stuff - headers, trimmers, blocking, etc..

What's that exterior trim material?

There's a lot of great looking exterior mill work on that job. Are you using that new PVC stuff? What you have there looks way nicer that any lumber I'm seeing. I've seen them using PVC trim on some This Old House projects and it seems like it may be the way to get the old fashioned (clear lumber) look.

Very nice looking job.
 
Hi Scott its all azek and fypon , there isnt any raw material , all the pilings are getting covered with split colums tapered 16 to 14 x 10' tuscon cap and base , this week the copper roof is going on ....that should change the look of the whole house.

I just cant wait to be done and get paid:love:(get my V out of hock)
 
Ken,

Thanks for the info. I'll be looking into those products.

I'm trying to get time to work on my V so I can get it out of my shop and start catching some the Spring run Salmon headed up the river - it's taking forever :sad:
 
Man, that is some very nice looking work! :clap:

You've just been nominated for the first annual Cook Construction Co. East Coast Builder Excellence Award - very prestigious, but unfortunately, due to the current economic conditions there is no cash prize. :happy:
 
i know that feeling, i work in power plants during outages, and even they have cut way down on duration and the amount of people they bring in, im lucky to get three months of work a year last couple years. used to be able to find temporary construction jobs in between but last couple years thats been almost impossible to do.most of the guys i know dont have enough work to keep themselves and thier regular guys busy, let alone bring in some extra help. Hopefully things will pick up for you
 
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Man thats nice.........the house that is. As I sit here in my shorts and sandals:sly:

Now no one will want to see my kitchen remodel.........
 
Hey LS - I thought you were busy doing vacation properties for those rich Wall Street guys.

I'm actually reasonably busy right now, but need to get serious about lining up work to keep it that way. Doing an 8-Operatory dental office build-out now, but last year was a killer - was crawling around under houses, hugging fiberglass wrapped ducts (repairs for real estate closings) - man, was that miserable.

Hope things pick up for you and you get some good boat time this year.
