Harold Wray Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 You know those times when you have to do 5+ things BEFORE you can work on the project(s) you want done. That's what I'm working on now. My goal is to expand and remodel my two bathrooms. Move a wall so the hall bathroom is wider. Also take out the closet space to expand the mater bathroom. So to do those things, first I have to have a new closet in different place. The bedroom next to ours is large so I'm building our new closet into that. Here are some pictures of the work in progress. I'm painting today. Then the closet parts (rods, shelves, drawers,etc). It never ends. Hopefully I will finish soon. I am nowhere near as fast as Conductor, but I just keep working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Looks great Harold! Putting that M12 Fuel through some good use! How is it doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Wray Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 It has been working great! Batteries last forever. It took 2 batteries to do everything. Loved it. Did leave my ears ringing sometimes. But all the power I needed. Highly recommend it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Nice work Harold! Tearing a wall out is no simple little project. Did you finish the drywall yourself? Looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Wray Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks. I did everything. I'm to cheap or broke to hire anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks. I did everything. I'm to cheap or broke to hire anyone.It kills me to hire anything out. I only do it when I need to accelerate the pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Wow that is awesome. Very nice. I am the same way. I hate hiring someone to do something I can do (Well at least I think i can do). I am trying to find a roofer right now and it's a pain. Who do you trust, plus I have had four people out and only one gave me a quote. I would do it, but man that's a big job to leave exposed for that period of time. Nice job Harold, that's awesome.

regopit Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Very nice work Harold. There is nothing wrong with wanting to save some cash. It is the only way to learn. It may not be perfect but if it is something you can live with that is that matters. Look at the skill and the experience you have gain.

ChrisK Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Awesome job Harold! You have to do some muddling classes for us poor schmucks who can't quite get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamianD Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Very nice! Like everyone else here is saying, I too hate hiring people to do something I can at least try to do myself. Saves you a boat load of cash and gives you experience at the same time. You take your time, you may surprise yourself how nice something comes out in the end.

Javier Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Besides saving cash it's nice to have pride in something you built yourself. A lot better telling others you built it yourself and people are like "wow" but if you tell them someone else did the work it's not the same. Looking great so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
