Prokiller Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 this past weekend i redid the roof on the shed. it was really bad and leaking a few places. before: i really should have taken more pictures but i was too focused on actually getting it done in the daylight. started saturday at like 11am pulling all the shingles off. they were only stapled on and no tar paper. tore both sides off and pulled all the leftover staples off by like 2. rolled down two passes of tar paper and stapled them down on the back side of the shed. laid down a couple rows of shingles while my dad was here to help and make sure i was doing it right. sunday laid the rest of the tar paper down and finished the back side of the roof's shingles. then moved onto the front. finished nailing it all down and then put the ridge shingles down and glued down any bits that were sticking up and over some nail heads that weren't quite covered. called it a night because it was just getting too damn cold. dropped down to 38 and windy. monday i finished cutting the hang over edges off and picking up the rest of the old shingles for trash. in all, filled 11 big construction bags of shingles. still have 4 to throw out next week. the finished product: today i'm going to try and hang my tire rack in the garage.

Prokiller Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Looks great, Ryan! That is such a nice sized shed.it is. the plan is to give it some love next summer. going to put some small shutters on it after i redo the the trim work. shouldn't have to replace it but it definitely needs to be stripped/sanded/painted. then run some electricity to it. probably put some lights on each side of the garage door. the ultimate plan is to turn it into half lawn tool storage and half wood working shop. would like to have an area to work on some wood projects without filling a garage with saw dust..

Moderators Psychorugby Posted November 25, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Makes me want to build a bigger shed, although I would never be able to get a woodshop out there so I would be stuck dealing with saw dust. I still have sawdust all over the garage from floors a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 The new roof looks great Ryan, that is a serious shed. The roof on the shed at our new house is a joke, and so is the shed. The whole thing leans to the right, has a 12" x 12" hole in the roof in the front right corner, etc. First time my dad saw the shed he said "Well, Bruno (previous owner) was definitely not a carpenter." lol. It's a cobbled together mess, I'm gonna tear it down and build new next summer most likely. For now it keeps most of the elements off the lawn tractor lol.

Prokiller Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 trying to ignore work for a few minutes here and there haven't been any updates from me on the housing projects. over the holidays we ripped out the drop ceiling in the "basement" garage. found a metric ton of mouse crap and and a horrible job of insulation. so we ended up throwing it all away. the pile was the size of a car easy: and then all the drop ceiling stuff removed. this also includes some new LED lights i will be putting up. threw those in temporarily in the old spots until i could re-do the wiring. wiring ended up being more than i expected. not the end of the world but had to re-do about half in the garage because the dude ran it on the rafters, not through through them. most of it was just un-hooking, move it and hang it up properly, then re-connect. don't have any pictures of it really. i also hung new boxes for the lights i'll be installing. new insulation going in with jasper's help of course... @Steve-Oh new insulation up: spent last weekend throwing up the drywall since it was great weather: still have to cut some pieces to reach to the beam and then do the front wall area yet.

Prokiller Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 the wife is getting a new job starting next monday so she wanted to make use of her last couple days off to paint the downstairs kitchen cabinets. we got new sconce lights for above the sink to install after the paint cures. now to find new hinges and pulls to update the look. my job tonight is to pull out the stove vent so we can get rid of that whole setup and move the fridge to that location. then add another light from in the garage to the kitchen.

95riosnake Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Much better without the drop ceiling! It's a shame because the concept of drop ceiling is great for having access to the joists/rafters... if only it wasn't so damn ugly. Half our basement is drop ceiling, the other half is woodshop with exposed joists. I think I've definitely decided on just prepping and spraying it all white. I'd like to find a nicer looking drop ceiling tile for the finished side if possible at some point, because there's too much above it as far as plumbing, HVAC, etc. that I might need to get to in the future (and have already a few times).

Wiring, plumbing, all of it got painted. The ceiling was so low (the house was built around 1900) that there wasn't really any other option that left much headroom. It honestly looked really, really good when it was done. I have no idea what if any adhesion promoter or paint the guy who did it used but we lived there probably 15 years with it painted like that and never had an issue with the finish. Looks great, Ryan! Huge improvement in the garage! Love seeing updates on your home projects! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokiller Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 i took off last friday and spent some time in the garage just doing something i've wanted to make for a while now. got tired of all the screw/nail boxes stacked up on a shelf above my workbench so i solved that problem. i should have taken a bunch of build pictures but i was just enjoying myself. cost all of $25 in wood. now they are all organized and out of the way. and i realized i never posted up the finished kitchen pics. new sconce lights in there really help light it up. and moving the fridge to where the stove was also made a HUGE difference in opening up the space. now we really need to do something with the flooring. the plan is to get a new matching fridge black friday or sooner depending on sales.

I am going to steal that one! i used a piece of 1x6x6ft pine and a 1/4x2'x4' piece of birch for the slats. cut two pieces off the pine for the horizontals and then ripped the rest down the middle for the verticals. worked out quite well. ended up using my circular saw instead of the table saw for the shelf cuts because i could see it better. radial arm saw would have been ideal, but i don't have one (yet). some glue and a couple screws and it was all done.

95riosnake Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I agree the rack looks cool, I can sympathize with having tons of fastener boxes. I have two full drawers of fastener boxes in the garage and a few more boxes sitting on top of the work bench still lol. Cabinets look great, really updated that space. You should wrap the dishwasher and fridge in CF vinyl lol. Kidding, but not totally because it would look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 CF would defnitely contrast well against the white cabinets, and being it's a second kitchen, it wouldn't be a bad thing if it had more of a man cave feel to it (as much as I absolutely hate the term "man cave" lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokiller Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 spent a lot of time in the garage this weekend cleaning it up and straightening things up. call it a spring cleaning. but first things first. since the wife shot down my carbon fiber pulls for the basement kitchen, i pimped the fridge while she was at work. since we moved it to where the stove was, the door opened the wrong direction and it was really annoying. so while i switched it around, i took the liberty of painting the crap wood grain pieces flat black and then wrapped the emblems in leftover carbon fiber vinyl from the truck's panels. the strip also had wood grain so i put pieces of vinyl there too. it's actually about 5 pieces but i matched the cross section up and you can barely see the seam. now back to the garage work. you may remember the old Filko cabinet i got from my Dad. well i finally got around to thoroughly cleaning it out and installing it properly to the wall. base cabinet before: and all of it after. i should have taken more pictures. surprisingly, it's in a lot better shape then i thought it was. there is some rust, but seems all surface rust. the bottom of the top cabinet was bent up and i thought pretty bad. it's really not at all. i straightened it out. perhaps one of these days i'll actually strip it all down and paint it up again. but for right now, i kinda like the patina look. i had already started to fill it, but you'll notice on the upper left, there is some original parts that we still had. of course those are put back in their proper place. and the outside closed up and with the new to me table that i got from my mom's work. remodeling an office and they were going to pitch it. air hoses ready and waiting to be put to good use... and already getting put to good use. i've since filled it even more with odds and ends from cleaning out my parts storage boxes. little bits are now all in there and larger this are mostly sorted. will probably get a pic of that soon. and then the next project that i started last night. some might also remember, i had this ugly ass 70's dresser from the previous owner who left it there. i hated it but it was useful for a time... I had pulled it out of the way to do the above with the full intention of getting rid of it. but then i got to thinking...i wanted a closed cabinet for my cleaning rags/towels and such. so why not reuse this thing and paint it up moar betta? i wanted it at the other side of the garage where i have my cleaning supplies. but it was too tall for that. but nothing a circular saw couldn't fix... and of course no post is complete with out the dog. #withjasper @Steve-Oh he actually jumped right in there when i put the garage bed in it. might actually put some trim on it and finish it. who knows... got it all cleaned up and threw on a first coat of paint. the paint was from the upstairs kitchen cabinets that we did that came out waaaaayyyy too purple. so we have practically a full gallon of it. figured why not. still looks very purple-y so the wife is thinking about painting it black instead (left over from the master bedroom accent wall). pics to come of that.

Prokiller Posted May 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 garage projects have been put on hold for the bathroom remodel. it was always the plan to get this done this year...but didn't expect to have to start it this soon. reason being, the tiles were starting to pull off the wall. so we had to put the basement garage ceiling and the heater install on hold. we had went and got tiles and new flooring a couple weeks back from Floor & Decor. that place is almost scary with how much money you can spend there. like a kid in a candy store. so many things i would like to do. anyway, on to the pictures. demo began last friday...who installs tiles over wall paper??!?!? the whole area at the tub seem was like mud. it was soaking wet. and found a whole lot of this... the entire back of the drywall (yes drywall, they installed tiling with it seems like glue on drywall...no wonder it leaked) was covered in black mold. Which in and of itself isn't the end of the world unless it has while "blooms" on it. which we found. so we made a few phone calls. had a guy come out and kill it all and seal it saturday. expensive yes; probably not completely necessary; but i also bought piece of mind that it won't come back. here you can see how much we had to demo around the area to get it all out. and what i did to keep it contained was to obviously wear masks the whole time, pull a draft from the floor opening to the basement and a fan in the window blowing out. it was quite effective actually. you couldn't look through the floor hole because of the air coming through it. Untitled by r d, on Flickr pulling out a cast iron tub is loads of fun. all killed and sealed. test fitting new shower pan which is now set in about an inch of mortar and leveled. i redid the plumbing on saturday with sharkbite fittings. i did some research on it and since i have access to everything, i said why not. i would have spent more in the equipment to do solder in the new fittings than what i spent in these. and they are removable. figured why not. sunday the plan was to install all the hardibacker and cut the tiles. i rented a tile saw for the day to do this. after three sheets in, i realized it was taking to long to do this. so stopped here: two on the back wall, one on the left wall. a scrap piece can be seen in the plumbing pic so i could take measurements. put down some string lines in the driveway so we could use to play with the tiles and lay it all out how we want then cut the ends. the glass accent tile row really pops in the sun: mostly laid out and numbered now ready and waiting of course it rained on the parade just when we finished up the back wall and had to move into the garage. brought in the tiles from the back wall that these will be up against to make sure it looks right and the sizes align up. and the right (plumbing wall) #withjasper @Steve-Oh and this is where we stopped last night at 9pm. i'm exhausted and very sore. these tiles are decently heavy for being this big and bending over all day long. going to put the rest of backer on some nights this week in the hope to be ready for sunday to throw the tiles on the wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Damn that sucks about the mold, been there but with part of our attic. We had to shell out $2500 the day we closed on the house to have it remediated. All because when they put a new roof on they didn't put a ridge vent on that portion of the roof. I feel your pain on the tile, it's very tedious, stressful work but the payoff is always worth it. When you finish grouting and take a step back, it's immensely satisfying. I've been working on our living room and just finished laying some big 20x20 slate finish porcelain tiles on the fireplace hearth. That shit will work up a sweat in no time. Looking forward to seeing the finished bathroom! I like the tile choice...especially compared to the old tile lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokiller Posted May 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 went out and got different mortar last night. we're doing the schluter-kerdi stuff behind the tile and didn't realize you have to use unmodified mortar with that. swapped out the w/ polymer for unmodified and a different trowel. current plan is to put the rest of the barker board up tonight and/or tomorrow night. friday will be installing the kerdi stuff and giving that a day to cure to be on the safe side. then sunday throwing up the tile.
