Fantastic! Thank you, thats him!

Hey Guys, sorry if this doesn't belong here. There is a fellow who is/was active on here when I was (long ago =() who I purchased lots of festool toys from. I am in need of another fix, however...

Hey Everyone, I hope all has been good. I was doing a google search and this thread popped up! Figured I would post some finished pics for you guys to check out. Its a been a while since I dropped...

Hey Matt, here there is no code to use 5/8" on the ceilings. You will only have to use it when you have 2x walls on say an addition off the rear shared with a neighbor to meet burn time in case of a...

Thank you Rich, just posted in your thread. I am going to try to get pics tomorrow.



Thanks Richard, if you are referring to the 20' long paralams, yes, they are heavily supported from above...

Hey Rich,

I haven't had much time to read this thread, but I have done/am in the process of doing something very similar on my little shack where I live. The front if WAY out of wack/level, so I...

Incredible saw!

Thanks a lot guys, I thought you guys would like them. Its a house I am truly proud of, and happy to finally be in a neighborhood where I could do a bit of fancy stuff and make some money on it.
...

It has been a while, project is only a week or so away from being completed. Ran into some fantastic problems along the way with contractors, supplies etc =). Have never owned a house more than 6...

Recessed pucks are most likely what I will be going with. I think thats really the only decent way to go.

Jim, good point, it will be very close, I am thinking "just" close enough or just shy. ...

Man is that tempting!

Thanks for the input guys. I thought fiber optics might work, but I can only find 150w illuminators for what I need for sufficient light. This wil require at least 5illuminators which I cannot have...

Has been fun, though repetitious =). This is the first coffered ceiling I have ever done, so I know where I can cut some time next time around.

I wont need to use the hangers you are describing...

Well the interior is not remodeled to look original, so the recessed dont look out of place at all.

Here are some pics:
...

Ya, I know I will have to drill each panel out, its been tricky enough to build so I dont mind =). The walls weren't parallel and the whole darn house is out. Working in old city homes is tough, so...

I dont kow if this is where this would go or not, I hope a mod can move it for me if it is not and I apolgize =).

I hope someone out here has experience with this. I have just constructed a...

I will leave that up to you Jim =). Thanks! It sure is taking a lot of work!

John, its killing me! Just the though of some rock on these walls is exciting. It sure will be satisfying to see...

Hey guys, thanks again for the awesome compliments! Sorry it has been so long with the updates, but finally I was able to get to posting some shots of what I did in the master bedroom. I don't have...

Brian:
The name eludes me at the moment, is it guilford, or something like that? Thats about what they are going for over there, not a bad price. Years back they were 10k-20k for the same house. ...

Actually, its a third floor walk out =) its about 5x10. There are also pretty large decks on the rear, one is about 12x6 on the second floor rear bedroom, and the third floor rear has one about...

Brian, yeah it is! I love it though so it isn't bad. We got in just too late for the awesome $1 houses =), but we did get in early enough to score some great deals.

This house is on E.Baltimore...

Here is the master bedroom ceiling. I nearly completed it today, a few more hours and it would have been nailed =).
...

Thanks! Its the first time I used LVL's and I have to say it will happen more often. It made for a very nice easy clean level start!

My rocker said he can get away without that last little bit...

Thanks guys so much for the kind words! Its such a relief getting that thing done, the compound miters that change on every stick killed me =).

I will post some pics when the job is all wrapped...
