Looks beautiful with an even better finish.
Great work.

Thanks. I'm happy how it turned out.

 

[Finallygotit]

That really turned out well.

 

[casmurbax]

Yea that really looks great.

 

[loganb]

Agreed with the above....excellent job!

Now take heavy advantage of the babysitters that you're providing room and board for and take the misses out!

 

[jar944]

With the mini-me running around this lattice had become the highest priority. I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for (structural lattice) so I went with a off the shelf trellis and modified to suit. I'd have gone with single uprights but was over ruled by my wife and my mom at the same time.


need to stay hydrated tonight it's humid out.

And because I'm a sucker for dewalt miter saws I grabbed a 714 on sale today. It's nice and light.

Not to be a jerk, but I think you just made a climbing wall

It's getting fake hedge panels (with lights) on top of the trellis, so he will have a really hard time climbing it (hopefully)

Maybe...

That just sounds like a challenge now

 

[nicholam77]

The bedroom looks great!!

Like the lattice, too.

Mom and Grandmother:
"Put up lattice and a fake hedge, he won’t be able to climb it."
MiniJar944:
"Hold my beer"

Yeah, he is a climber. Good handhold and foot placement.

I miss those days, you and your wife are in a great place in your lives, though it may sometimes to seem that way. ENJOY!

Challenge accepted.

Awesome work especially when you are working around the family living there while you do it.

Looks like you might need to build some climbing walls or put holds on the side of your home for the little one. I agree nice position on that counter cabinet climb!!

Even though I probably could not do it anymore I almost picked up a Rogue fitness peg board that was similar to ones we used in high school gym. You could probably make one easy enough with your skills.

 

[jar944]

Took way to long but I did get the trellis/ lattice installed.

 

[loganb]

Great work as always!

 

[larry4406]

Great looking outdoor space!

 

[gba2331]

I absolutely cannot let my wife see this thread, unless she is only looking at the garage

 

[M.Brane]

That looks great, but if I did something like that it would be covered with spider webs the next day.

You need a few hundred of these hanging around, no spiders since they showed up

 

[M.Brane]

We have lots of lizards here, but apparently way more spiders. I have to de-web around the house every week or it gets ridiculous.

 

[drivesitfar]

I’m not a huge fan of spiders especially if they get INSIDE our house but I love seeing them make webs in and around the trees, shrubs and in our tomatoes and plants. I hate flies and no see ums worse and mosquitoes but somehow a heard of dragon flies adopted us so way less of them now.

Not that I’m a spider trainer but years ago the new crop of spiders would build their webs across our paths. Since they make nice webs in a day I thought why not pull off one side and put them in bushes and trees next to paths and after a few times they learned and grew and thrived out of my way. No BS. Try it or not but just saying.

Jar your trellis and under deck living space you created is amazing and your bedroom and other work is something we don’t often see or even hear about.

WELL DONE!!

I've got one holiday for you to think about.
Halloween!

Jar,
Everything looks fantastic. But... if you don't save some stuff. What are you going to do when you retire?

It's a never ending list of projects that I keep adding to. I easily have years worth of work.

Also if I told my wife the current list is not happening until I retire.. I may permanently be sleeping in the yard.

I misread that. I thought you said my current wife. That would have gotten you yard duty. I’m pretty sure the finish carpentry on the kid’s playhouse would be outstanding.

 

[larry4406]

Where on your project list does the master bath lie?

 

[jar944]

Where on your project list does the master bath lie?

After the parlor, study and screened in deck roof, but before the basement kitchen, porch (additional entrance) and new main staircase.

The list is longer that that.

We had a lot more Orb Weavers at the old house. I like having them around, and yes you can "train" them to not build in pathways. They are fascinating to watch. So meticulous.

Ugh - those are some major projects.

Replacing main stairs in an existing house is a real PIA. Unfortunately, I have had to do it on a couple occasions due to water damage.

Don't forget, Century Stairs is located in Haymarket close by. They provide many of our stairs for the day job and their work is top notch. If you need a POC there, I can PM you our rep. I have known him for 20+ years and he is outstanding.

A good family friend worked at Century for quite some time.

My plan is a vicrorian 3 lobe profile tangential rail with balusters to match (they shouldbe dovetailed into the treads). I'd really like to build a octagonal turned newl for the bottom of both stairs but that might be too victorian for my house.

If I can make it work with the existing stairs I'll keep them but they are not designed for a continuous rail so and thr mid landing is odd. I think i can make it work but it's a compromise though id prefer to keep them they are functionality fine, its just for the aesthetic.

Hi @jar944 any what are you building on now updates?

 

[jar944]

Hi @jar944 any what are you building on now updates?

Mostly trying to keep up with the yard, though part of that is a flower/tree bed expansion.








And a fence to keep toddlers from falling off the seating wall.

 

[loganb]

Honestly not sure how you have time for sleeping with as much **** as you accomplish on the honey do list, day job and attempting to keep mini people alive! Nicely done

 

[fourmotioneer]

Yard work looks awesome. Care to share any more on how you approached the rock border? Was it simply “I stacked some rocks”?

Plenty of single child behavior here and I applaud it. I watched my 2y/o fall 4 ft from the playset this week. As you are likely aware, that fence prevents accidental falls and encourages courageous leaps

I wonder as well.
Did you just have those stones laying around the yard? What was the plastic that you are using for the weed barrier?


I am interested as well.

Yard work looks awesome. Care to share any more on how you approached the rock border? Was it simply “I stacked some rocks”?

He works for AI and that does his "job" while he does the real work outside! /s

It's a joke folks, simma down!

This was mostly just stacking rocks, bigger on the bottom and whatever was decent looking and flat for the cap.

The fence is a fun thing to hang on currently.
