Post up your weekend project!!

@ramjo hauled down some built in wardrobes and window bench his father in law built for us and helped me put them in over the past couple of days. And by "helped me put them in" I mean he did most of the work while I tried to be helpful and not jack everything up or get in his way.

Still got a couple more pieces of molding to pick up and gotta find some hardware, but got the majority of it done.

Just finished cutting. Tree was about 75' tall. 25' from the house and 15' from the power lines.

Unexpected project while swapping an ugly ceiling fan for a new light fixture. It's really hard to find a nice looking flush/semiflush light fixture unless you like old-fashioned stuff, but I digress.

Found out that pan box stuck out too far from drywall, and couldn't mount the light base flush. Swore a lot.

After a few hours of running around, eventually found this amazing polycarbonate old-work box at the Mooresville Lowes, they just started carrying them (no one else in the county does yet):

It only comes with two screws, not three, but doesn't matter.

Traced, cut hole, mounted box.

Patched hole.

One edge is at a taped jointed, which is why it's below surface.

V cut all the joints, overlay with mesh tape, mix up some 30 minute setting compound, slap it on there and let 'er go until the morning. The deep joints shrank up, but that's what the next coats are for.

I really hate patch work. And painting over patch work.



FYI, they also make a fan-rated version of that box with 3 lag screws, and it has a metal side bracket that wraps from the stud mounting face to the fan studs. It's probably the best fan mounting box I've ever seen:

Not weekend but I hammered out the rest of the pickets on Tuesday. Gonna try and get 5 gallons of solid color stain on them today.

I had an old dog house that was just taking up room, so I demo'd it and reused the good lumber that the carpenter bees hadn't eaten up to make a new canoe rack, some saw horses for my full top (which I might change), and used the floor as a table top for a workbench. Not too shabby.

Had the welder hooked up for the Jeep, so I decided to stiffen up my 6x12 trailer a little. It's crazy flimsy at the tilt area. Plated with some 3/16 x3.

Ham radio antenna tuner. More of a proof of concept than anything.
Works on high bands on my big loop even though it's specifically designed for dipoles.
Since it works, today it gets a nicer coil and hopefully mounted in a nice cigar box.
The variable capacitor ( big knobby thing ) came from a hamfest ( ham radio flea market).
The rest literally came out of my junkbox.

That's fine, now you can use Google Photos or something, or just post directly to NC4x4. Currently every time you post pics and I click on them, it takes me to your photobucket account where I can see a smaller image of the pic I was just looking at :kaioken:
