"BUILD & GARDEN CHAT"

[wellington]

It looks good Heather. Be proud.
Hey, do you think the men don't have help? Did you see that picture Tom posted of the friends digging his night box dens.
Also, if I remember right, Jeff had posted a pic of something he built and again, it was a pic of his friend doing something. Hmmm, very fishy don't ya think
They (others) build it we (ones needing it) claims the glory
Okay, you give the others a small piece of the credit too.
Kidding Jeff and Tom. But the pics don't lie

Haha, Barb, bow true. Sandy, you're so funny. I'm picturing myself in your place, only I can't get my hubby to do anything I couldn't do. I have to hire people. Now the enclosure shed we're doing, I did the flooring all by myself (cork flooring and insulation) and this includes using adhesive. Let's just say I'm not a great painter, so...

 

[N2TORTS]

Heather, I believe Jeff is saying for it to be like this. Jeff, correct me if I'm wrong

PERFECT!

No Laundry Room is complete unless you have your VW tiles!
these are actual ceramic tiles I had a company silk screen the images onto the tiles for me...came out Groovy ~

HA Very cool, I use to do tile for a living. Ive done murals, bowers museum, Brea mall, Hello Kitty stores all kinds of fire insurance work. I currently do refrigeration,,,,,basically a refrigeration mechanic. Myself and one other guy are in charge of approx. 200 coolers in downtown
L A. 12 coolers went down today, busy day. My next project is an insulated wooden enclosure for the rads. What are you doing on that job site, I thought you were a door guy?

that’s just One thing Ed .....a " finish carpenter " trim work and door specialist, but I sling Mud , Do block and Brick, tile ,Frame/pound nails ...some sparky , some H20....Enjoy doing custom hardscapes and redwood decks. In Ca. a B-1 #Lic ...Means you do it all ....you do not have to sub out one thing . But that’s a thing of the past ...now every **** , Jane and Harry call themselves contractors......Heck you can even take the test at home now on the internet!....that's funny! I stopped contracting few years back , and actually retired this year!


I do have some 1-lite French doors left ….if you need some for the house …I just blew out the kitchen and did a complete make-over , textured the walls , new cabinets, counter tops .. the whole nine yards ...

my biological father owned his own contracting business down in Diego..doors were his specialty too. i dont remember the names of the buildings he did, but i know there were some in the Gaslamp District he did when they were restoring the old buildings. he sold the business and now grows (or at least he did, dont know if he still does) medical MJ. haha

i think some members here would come together and have you put in a ward if you start fighting with yourself. haha. but we would let you have a computer to keep posting. and i dont build bikes or cars, but i do build/repair/upgrade paintball guns..if that counts for anything.

Oh Nate .. I'm sure there is a few who would like to see me somewhere else...<heh> ......can't please um all! ...
I have never gone paint-ballin' - always wanted to ...looks fun with a group of people and a "capture the flag" type game .
Although I have done some " paint hauling" .......here is a PPG 3 stage lacquer with ghost flames beneath the overlays. A 2 year bike build and this one could have been a Trailer Queen...
but that's no fun!

JD, that Ike is awesome!!!! I'm not a bike person, but, this one is so cool, I'd get on it any day.

 

[N2TORTS]

Thanks Sibi … the bike itself - Harley Motor “ pumped” .. but every thing else all custom made , frame , fenders, triple clamp , exhaust…even the seat from “ Bitchen Rich” and real ostrich skin to boot …..all allen heads not one phillips or flat head on the bike .
It was my second build on a bike , I usually do vintage Vw’s …. either bone stock or Cal Bug them out ….

 

[sibi]

Wow! What rough estimate would one of these custom made bikes go for, if you don't mind?
