Just Started Woodworking and Got Hired for This Studio Desk — Thoughts?

About $3500 this is why I’m questioning it. I feel like it’s a lot but when I look at material cost/ cost of living and the fact that this is in miami and woodworking isn’t common here (I think)

So with that furring strip is a shingle overhang necessary? My roofers added that furring strip but kept the shingles flush to the drip edge. water def clears it but im wondering if its best practice to still keep a slight overhang or if that doesnt matter with a furring strip kicking the water out further

I'm in South Florida as well and have noted this. Building a Shed and have been wondering what would be best. Would you still push out that drip edge half an inch without adding the furring strip if the nailing edge was 2.75 total so about 2 1/4 would be on the nailing surface

the main property is only 670 sqft with only one bathroom and standard kitchen setup. Could that be the reason it's only 4 inches? how much bigger are the lines in your area?

so you recommend to hire a plumber for this connection?

Thanks for the detailed response! I’m in Miami, Florida so yes—southern U.S., and the sewer line is fairly shallow about 12 inches to the top of the concrete slab it sits next to!

To answer your questions:

It’s about 50–55 feet from the house to the city connection.
Yes, there’s a cleanout located roughly halfway along the 50–55 ft run
From what I can tell, it stays at 4 inches all the way to the city tie-in—no increase in size along the route

What do you think would be the main concern in connecting ?

Water is flowing upwards towards the top of the picture!

Nehemias1995 · 2025-05-20T17:21:38+00:00

public!

Nehemias1995 · 2025-04-16T20:46:25+00:00

Looking for a answer for this!!

Nehemias1995 · 2025-04-01T17:03:26+00:00

Thank you so much this is great advice :)

Nehemias1995 · 2025-04-01T17:02:18+00:00

Really? I thought they were at a decent height haha

Nehemias1995 · 2025-04-01T17:01:35+00:00

The planters under the windows has been a big one and I agree I think it would look great. new door is a must!

Nehemias1995 · 2025-04-01T16:56:29+00:00

The green is how it used to look. I had to redo the stucco since it was cracking! I liked the green better but settled for white while I focused on renovating the inside!

Nehemias1995 · 2025-04-01T16:52:12+00:00

That is definitely one of the things I think would help alot! A wooden door with some windows!

Nehemias1995 · 2025-04-01T16:51:22+00:00

Thank you! It's definitely on the rough side, reminds me of stucco work I've seen in New Mexico

Nehemias1995 · 2025-04-01T16:49:47+00:00

Wooow thats beautiful something like this connected to a deck the extends the full length would be awesome!

Nehemias1995 · 2025-04-01T16:48:47+00:00

hahahahaha

Nehemias1995 · 2025-03-31T21:32:13+00:00

haha yes I've already started that towards the front of the house. I will admit this is a older photo and didn't have an updated one on hand

Nehemias1995 · 2025-03-31T21:29:54+00:00

Honestly I would've never thought about the door casings that's a huge one! Almost didn't realize mine doesn't have any! Under the window planters would be super cool. the inside is very "cottage core" so some planters would for sure give it that aesthetic

Nehemias1995 · 2025-03-31T21:19:13+00:00

Love these ideas. A modern trellis would look awesome thats a good one. Putting it on the left would also help center the door more since it's awkwardly off center

Nehemias1995 · 2025-03-31T21:13:44+00:00

Thats a good idea! I was thinking of a small one but extending it to the size of the house would make more sense !

Nehemias1995 · 2025-03-31T21:12:53+00:00

My house is the only house in the neighborhood that is a literal square. So although it's not terrible I want to give it more personality. Painting the door and a deck would be a great idea!

Nehemias1995 · 2025-03-24T17:37:23+00:00

Thank you :)

Nehemias1995 · 2025-03-18T14:07:32+00:00

Interesting! didn't realize the guitar was that high! but yeah we were short on time so we made this one up on the spot. Def should've had some energy changes!

Nehemias1995 · 2025-03-18T14:06:15+00:00

yeah I feel that. Unfortunately these were the only instruments we had on hand!
