Some Finished and nearly finished Stuff

The mess is hard to escape, doing this in the Garage and in the front yard, sorry neighbors. Eventually we want to get a shop and do this more regularly. There is some money to be made in the really custom field.


Closing in on completing Giles and Kolleen's house. These photos show the wall cap still needs to be sealed, cut and set, but the Rowlock cap on the house looks great to me!
Some looks at Les' job, that was completely done, with the exception of the ceiling cracks in the upstairs room. The Plastering detectives figured a guy that was too heavy may have been up there wiring in a ceiling fan after the fact?? Not sure but that or a structural thing I think as those were the only cracks in a job that joined many dissimilar materials together with stunning results.

Some other work we have done recently...








Here is a patch job for Bill the sign guy at the Folsom outlet stores. And the Kahuna job in Vacaville we really want to get going on soon. Also squeezed in is the job for former MLB player Bob Niemeyer and the birds who got revenge by pecking his pop-outs!
And a couple photos of me, oof.



And Nate too!

Giles and Kolleens house





Giles and Kolleen gave us the chance to do some custom work on their home in Sacramento. We bonded over the painted brick wainscote and installed the slate pieces and built the block wall and put the slate on it also, next we are pouring the wall cap and did a bunch of work in the back yard too . I will update with those photos soon.
I like the way the slate goes with their front door which is a blue colour. The faux stone we plastered on is going to be stained to match the slate next we did a test run today and I have that photo here somewhere.
