Need a 12x12 deck built.

Oh, and my jackass board collie pup decided to do a full tilt sprint across the wet concrete late last night despite me supervising her and trying to keep her away from it. Thankfully it was pretty dry, but there are still paw prints right across the middle of it. Going to have fun having my contractor fix that. Damn dog.

Fuck it, leave 'em. You didn't want to write your name in it, but Ramona wanted to leave her mark. lol

Yeah, cabinets in this house are black and in a state od disrepair in areas. Though that will be remodel round two!

Sounds about like what we are trying to buy. Built in 96, needs new floors through out, cabinet and countertop update. My plan once we close is replacing/updating all of the trim 5" baseboards and new door casings and window trim. Paint everything, then rip out the carpet and have new installed in the bedrooms and hardwoods in the family room and hallway. Hopefully I can get it done in ~30 days. Thankfully I can get my company cost on the floors and install, and I can get the trim for free scrounging left overs from jobsites. Only problem is 12' sticks of 5" base don't fit in a short bed s-10!

I did hardwoods and the 5" basebaords in all the bedrooms. Rest of the house already had wood floors. I was going to rip them out because they weren't to my taste, but they've grown on me and fit the era of the house(1966). Plus, that's alotta cash. lol Maybe one day, but they're in good shape, so I won't worry about it for a long time. It does have pretty nice original cabinets, so I just repainted them and updated the hardware. They give the place a lot of character. They have the slide open spice racks under the upper units.

I also had 3 pocket doors put in, replaced a few doors, painted almost the entire interior minus the 2 baths and the laundry room, new blinds, light fixtures, etc etc. It just goes on and on. Once I'm finished I might get a project car again, but this place is enough of a project for at least a couple more years.

Man, it's hard to believe 1996 was almost 20 years ago...

Uhg. No shit. I'm fucking old.

Awesome man!

Man, it's hard to believe 1996 was almost 20 years ago and all of those houses are in need of updates.

The updates game is a constant money hog.

Yeah! Thankfully my line of work offers cheap materials and labor.

Thanks. I've done a huge amount of work on the interior. It still needs the master bath gutted, countertops, and a minor refresh in the guest bath, but it's a completely different house from when I moved in. It's gotten to the point where I really love living here. I did pretty well finding this place.

Hopefully the deal goes through on the house we put an offer in on. I will be doing something similar later this year. Interior remodel is first on the list. Looking good

They're finished for the day. lol, my yard is a damn mess. Rain threw a bit of a wrench into things, but luckily it didn't last long. It of course started right as the concrete truck arrived. He'll come back tomorrow and check things out, maybe do some minor work. The top is going to get.. buffed? I think he said to smoothen it out, then probably late next week if his schedule holds, they will start working on the cover.

The existing patio roof was not done very well, but I want it to look fluid and somewhat match, so don't jump to any conclusions if you see some slightly questionable engineering when I start posting updates on that section. As long as it doesn't fall on my head, I'm okay with it. Man, I can't wait to put a hot tub on this thing, some nice furniture and a propane fire pit.

Did they drill the existing concrete pad and put the rebar into the side of it as well?

Yes.

Does he travel all over DFW for work?

Yes.

Gonna write your name or something in it?

Nah.

apparently not.

lol

Ah. Yeah looks like it to me.

You are correct.

[Lone Sailor]

I couldn't tell if it was butted against the concrete or actually inserted into.

You can see in the first picture that they did.
