Renovations

[Caperguy99]

Hi everyone,

Figured I’d start a thread where people could post their non-fish renovation projects.

I’ve marked off here where I’m putting in a pool and doing a bit of a backyard renovation with a deck and pool house. Wish me luck!

Nice one.
A buddy and I jacked up the side of our house this summer to replace water damaged ribbon boards. 3 different contractors refused to take it on cause it’s a log home and they didn’t want assume liability if the whole wall collapsed. What do ya do? So this nurse and his electrician mate made it happen! Fun times

Our pool site prep & build in 2020. Covid summer project. Decently sloped area behind our house. Myself & 2 mates. None of us ever used a digger before. Fun times!

Took down a half wall in our great room w vaulted ceilings. Repurposed all the lumber to create a nice island. We used prefab cupboards from Home Depot. My electrician friend helped and re-ran all the wiring from the wall we removed into the island. The granite was professionally installed. Did I say I was an RN Fun times

Lastly, this summer also, my son & I power washed, once dry brushed cleaned & then sprayed our barn. It was raw lumber, never stained or painted, 15 years old. (We bought this place in 2020) Neither of us had ever used a sprayer before, and the absorption rates were varied. We removed the doors & painted them, and then painted the window trim in place. For a barn it turned out just fine, and saved us several thousand dollars in labor costs!
