So the rock job has been on hold, until today because of the cold weather. We got what we needed taken off and got going again and we were doing good and til a gust of wind took our tarp out and soaked us. We left the tarp on the columns and got out of there so I didn't get pics yet. Also did some locust handrails last week and I'll get some pics of them soon.
So my father-in-law has been outta town for a few weeks, before he left he gave me $500 to work on a project we had been talking about. He got a doublewide about 2 years ago, and he opted not to have them "finish" it, ie the trim, siding, etc, that they do after placing it, and I've been helping him here and there. So he had all the lumber sanded and stained for me and I put this "beam" together for him and installed the ceiling fan.
Its all 2x's except the 1x4s on the walls. I 45d all the corners to give it more of a beam look, but main it was a pita. The 2 halves were all outta wack with each other, but I got it to come out pretty good. Then I surprised him and sent him a pic of some tile that I've had in storage for years, and asked if he would like it in his kitchen. It was a major pita in a trailer. I had to go in the cabinets and level the counters cause they were all wack, and you can see in the pic the tile isn't center on the window. That bugs the crap out of me, but its centered on the sink, and on the right side my tile ended perfect at the counter edge so I went with it. I don't have the grout yet, so I haven't really taken pics of it, but you can see it under the new pot rack I built in this pic.
Another of the pot rack
He doesn't know anything about the pot rack yet, its gonna be a surprise. A contractor that lives down our road threw 2 sheets of that stainless grid into his yard for no reason, and I told him I wanted to make a pot rack out of it sometime. I also threw this up for him, it aint the greatest but it works
