We are installing ONLY Simpson Mastermark doors in the house. McCleary tradition, afterall. Ordering all new doors, stain grade, not the seconds.
A pro is doing the roof because water always wins. Same with plumbing.

How did the last one live, and how do you even do that?
The caption for the last one said the guy fell off a ladder while using his drill - it went through his eye socket and along the side of his brain making minimal contact. Talk about getting skull phukked!

Hankster- I can't begin to imagine (sort of) what you've seen in your line of work. This would be a good time to remind people that the "leather donut hole" works like a vacuum when things get to far Thankfully, I wouldn't know first hand, or fist. What was this thread about again?

Dan, that was t.i.c. about the pleasure of hanging drywall.
OneWay, the tangible results really are satisfying, especially in an occupation where my productivity is often measured by the amout of paper produced instead of increased fish production. Yeah, I've been thinking about that 80/20 relationship. Not so bad that the framing crew framed my house in 16.5 days, including a few really horrible soakers. However, I started framing my garage in late July after the slab was poured, and I just got the final gable end sheathing on it last Sunday. Yikes! In theory my garage won't be finished for two years yet! Not really.
I had roofers shingle the garage two or three weeks ago, and they should finish the house today or tomorrow. I'm gonna' have the pros do the insulation and drywall, for economy and speed, and I'm too damn old to hang drywall and think I'm having fun.
Andy,
Did you install your garage/shop doors before the drywall went on? I ask because I was told the drywall folks would rather hang the sheetrock before the roller track and electric door opener are mounted to the garage ceiling.
Slab - we aim to inspire! OK, really, I'm just trying to have a good time with my project, and if it inspires, that's frosting on the cake.
Double damn dang! I totally spaced it on the Simpson doors! I've got a bid on all my main floor doors from Olympic Mountain Millwork in Shelton. But I'll pretty soon have to get a man door and 3 8' doors for my garage. Then I need at some point to get doors for the basement rooms and exit. When's that Simpson sale?
Mike,
That's frickin' scary, no matter how those guys got nails and drill bits in their heads. I did all my framing the old fashioned way by hand nailing, but I've been thinking about getting a brad or finish nail gun to install my soffiting and wood finish trim. I guess the operative word is "gun." Treat the damn thing like a gun.

Salmo g.- I always advise avoiding wood doors for 8' exteriors, if that's what you had in mind. The analogy is imagine putting your dining room chairs on the porch because that's the level of care your wood doors will require. Also, 8' tall doors in wood tend to tweak more and have closing/sealing issues. This is not a knock on Simpson, I sell them all the time and prefer them to other manufacturers, it's just a wood thing. Happy trails, Mike

The other dude puts a big funnel in the dude's bung-hole and pours ready-mix concrete in there until he can't pour any more. Not only did I not see that one coming, I can't figure out why they would do that. Unless of course, the recipient was trying to be a "hard ass".

Garage doors went up before the drywall. Deal with it.
FJ gave me hte name of a good door supplier. Seems very good from our first meeting.

Got a backhoe, so landscaping will be a breeze.
Need to plant 40+ cherry trees to line the driveway? Build a berm or two? Maybe make that killer BMX track I'm too old for? Bring it on.

The berm is for the 200 yard shooting range right Andy? I think you should arrange it so we can shoot off the couch in the shop. I also think you need one of those fancy magic corn trees right about where the targets are. Dave! You just reminded me of a cherished memory from my wild and crazy youth. My room mate and I had a long living room and "jokingly" talked about setting up targets at the far end that we could shoot at while watching the game and drinking beers. Needless to say, it provided hours of entertainment for us! Oh yeah, .22 caliber only or low base 12ga. game loads only ' cause that's what made it safe and acceptable. When do we get to go to dogfish's house to try this? Housewarming party?

you'd think the top guy would have stopped driving nails into his head after the third or fourth one... Also, not too sure how he was able to drive those nails in to his head, as his hands were also tied behind his back. Nice digs Andy!

Installed temporary lighting in the house, and a temp door (yes, it is square and level). Windows and doors are covered by visqueen. That will allow my framer/roofer to heat up the house to melt the snow so the roof can go on tomorrow. It was a bit chilly in the house though, without heat tonight. I'm getting better at this stuff every day.
Unfortunately I win the dumbass of the day award, by far. Headed out to the shop this morning to unlock everything. Opened up the garage door, got what I needed, locked it back up. Totally screwed over the drywall guys. What a dumbass. Felt pretty bad wasting their day.
