If anybody notices any mistakes just tell them they are looking too hard! I was very pleased. That was the biggest job I had done.

I would’ve made it easier but having the grooves complicated it. I think I’ll just use the nail gun with 5/8” brads dice it’s just 1/4” plywood. The fireplace looks great! Good luck! Post pics when you finish. I'm sure it will turn out fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one held up great...and it was the "interlocking style" shiplap. Please tell me your last name is Kennedy, Kirkpatrick, Klaus or your wife is Karen. Please?

Joe_Hoopsier Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 My 73 yr old father has decided it’s time to get into the wood processing business. He can’t see well enough to weld anymore so of course I get called in for reinforcement. It’s been 25 yrs since I struck an arc with a stick welder. SOB still wouldn’t say “nice job son”! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Took a hiatus from working on the house for a few months for reasons. Bought a replacement ceiling fan that has been sitting in my living room for 3 weeks. Having 4 days off a week now and I have done pretty much nothing but watched movies and a show called Forged in Fire. But it ends tomorrow😔, I was told by the woman I tricked into marrying me to shake the lead out and get this house remodeled. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Starting the dyi fire again. Have concrete tear out and new going down today and tomorrow. I've done my own concrete over the years but this required a major tear out job, dump truck, bobcat, and mini excavator They are going to pour my footers so I can extend my deck. Have ordered tile for backsplash. Have ordered hood blower insert. Fixing to build my over range hood from scratch. Ordering railing. About to finish trimming the house out while waiting on all the materials. That should keep me busy til baby boy 2 gets here in October. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that doesn't have an outboard on it is the throw away. The decking is all rotted(check marine ply-wood prices). So my bud bought a pos pontoon that has an aluminum deck already on it. We got to swap the stuff from the SS Minnow to make a USS Enterprise. I just hope this project is done by the 4th of July. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BTW, my wife wants to know the name of the purple flower covering some farm fields. I told her I'd ask Rico. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long day of cruising, food, good music, cold beer, and Lake Monroe is about as heaven on Earth as it gets. We bought one years ago. I think we would have had better luck with a ticket on The Titanic.
