wife needs to get new tools now and again too....picked this up for her new kitchen....... ordered it so it would be here closer to completion of kitchen, arrived a couple weeks early

thanks fone, on to starting floor, went with large tiles.......

thanks guys, one man show here so slow but sure.... well the plan was to get the flooring installed, but wouldn't ya know it after I laid out 8 or 10 tiles down my wife says....hmm don't like it??? so back to the drawing board or actually the store to go pick out different tile......in the mean time I figured I make a jig to install the handles/pulls whatever you call them......not pretty but worked flawlessly. I made it to be left or right top or bottom. (Note to self clamp a backer board so holes don't get blown out....)

upper cabinets went in without a hitch, all lined up and ready for flooring now......

all tiled and grouted ready for cabinets

line up range hood, install to wall. (I put extra stud supports prior to drywall in approx area.) screw to wall and remove. put screws back in wall, tile all around screws. This way when wall is grouted range hood installation will be easy peasy

thanks... back to kitchen side with some back splash work..bit to go yet but that is enough for one day

more custom work for kitchen cabinets, this plate rack will be mounted above a really long 77" window. At each end will have a 15" x 15" cabinet with a door, and beside that a 15" x 30" cabinet. in order to do this I took a 30" x 30" double door cabinet and cut it up to make 2x 15" x 15" and 1x 15" x 30" by cutting one door in half. ok so all the boring fun taping and mudding is done, time to mock up the custom cabinets I pre built to see how they will all line up. It is imperative that they go on wall clean and square as I will be applying back splash all around and right to ceiling. everything looks like even spaces everywhere. drape them off and slap some paint on the ceiling.... slowly starting to take shape, some paint and trim on one side of area, the bit more to do list is getting shorter and shorter.....

not sure about bosch grinders for cordless I do have a Milwaukee Fuel grinder and coupled with a 9.0ah battery I can't be any happier....here is a shot 3 stages up on scaffolding grinding cement window openings......don't even realize it has a battery....

and the drywall begins.....

a touch more custom work for kitchen cabinets, plate rack for above window.....laying it out, sizing it up and putting a frame around it. this will be installed between 2 door cabinets and left open

sweet dixie lookin good bro...

I completely understand, however in most cases I pin it from back side '

sexy looking thing you made there, good job! btw I use a 23g. pin nailer in stead of any 2 sided tape

dry fitting before drywall to mark stud location, looks like it's not straight but it is just sitting on a box for proper height....

in the mean time, another custom item needed for the far side of kitchen/dining area, will need a small corner cabinet to house some electronics and wires ect ect not sure if I am going to add backing or just mount it directly to drywall. A Bamboo top will be added to match the rest of the counter tops in the kitchen when it gets installed. Again film will be removed and a matching pull like the rest of the cabinets will be added..

so all insulated, vapor barriered and accustaseal, if that is a thing.... all ready for drywall.....

a little more custom... well there was or would have been dead space in wall and fridge, so I made a sliding spice rack among other things that might fit, there will be clear plexi-glass side added to each shelf as well... the best part of this whole thing was the rack itself started out as bed rails I had no use for but it was good plywood....lol

Again some more custom stuff, full 8 ft. high pantry with 3 doors, all with matching high gloss finish...just have to put 3rd door on...

little bit more custom work, wife wants microwave below counter, again the cabinet supplier didn't have a base to accommodate a microwave so I took a 18" base and made one fit.

haha ya, but how else can I see how it will look....

haha ya I use the stock blade, but it is so rare it has lasted quite some time.. as for sharpening I take it to a local shop, however I could take it to about 4-5 different shops but I only trust one shop, as the guy is older and can sharpen a blade like no other......don't know what I'll do if he kicks......hope he is passing on his talent...

depends on what you are cutting but I;m very happy with https://www.amazon.com/Freud-D1090X-Circular-Composites-10-Inch/dp/B006GN0ZRI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1520545573&sr=8-1&keywords=Freud+D1090X+Ultra+Fine+90+Teeth+Circular+Saw+Blade+for+Wood+and+Wood+Composites%2C+10-Inch

got beam in place, over ceiling, one side will be built out to match refrigerator other side will be hidden in wall and flush. now the ugly archway can be removed making space much bigger kinda hard to see the old archway it is just behind plywood...... well aside from a total mess, I have the complete sub-floor installed.... leveled, glued and screwed..... cement backer board will be placed over this before tile gets installed. had some header action today, got some new openings from the kitchen now got window No.13 of 15 brand new windows that have been installed, I may note not one was original size from the old windows. So it is dry fitted for today gonna pull old window out along with cutting the new opening probably tomorrow, I'm calling it a short picture window, as it is 22" tall by 77" long so it needed a yet another header..... don't look pretty right now but had to mock it in place before drywall ....

did a test sign with it today easy peasy.....
