Deck and Kitchen Re-make...Almost Done!!

[bueller]

Hey Everyone,

I've been AWOL for a while, I have been going crazy with re-doing my Kitchen and building a deck for my neighbor. Thought I'd share a few Pictures of the Process.

I had to make all the Fluted Molding myself for the kitchen because my wife had to have Maple to match the cabinets....just Great...double the time :irked:

Nice work, the permit for the deck will only be an issue when you go to sell the house and the town takes a look and says you have to pay for it... Been there done that and it sucks

Beautiful workmanship. Did you stain that with Sikkens? Love that stuff. Costs an arm and a leg and multiple coats, but well worth it. Your attention to detail is spot on bro. I used to be a house builder and know good work from shoddy work.

Funny how in all those pix I didn't see a single one with a tank :scratchch

It's actually a little more of a problem with some building inspectors. What's above ground is obviously seen and can be evaluated, assessed and charged accordingly. Some inspectors however, can be real pain in the arses and ask you to dig up your footings to see that they go below the frost line in your zone. Not fun to deal with those guys.

Back to topic.......fantastic job. Hope the homeowner appreciates the time and effort involved.

Thanks & yea, costs like $50 a gallon with a 2 step process...but it makes the deck look like hard wood flooring and very durable with the sun. The deck gets alot of sun all day....so i decided to give it a sun feature with the ballasts...we call it the sun deck. I Also dado'd under the top rail and installed rope lighting & hooked it up to a switch in the house. will try and post a night picture, looks pretty Awesome.

Thanks Alex, had to hold off on the beers till i was done...wanted everything plumb/square..lol

Still want to come over and check out your tank, as you can see I've just been going crazy with these projects.
