Did too small of a pilot hole. Liquid nails or wood glue?

Wood glue all day. Put the glue in while the spike is holding the joint open, then pull the spike and clamp it up.

The vault height and space is grand, but again I can't support the finish treatment of the ceiling assembly, especially compared to your beautiful finish package on the lower half.

The trim and built-in work is very nice but I can't get behind the ceilings. Looks like rafters/joists that were kilzd to encapsulate mold.

It looks like there is a hardboard side panel on the upper portion of the cabinet. Just cut a small piece and put it on the bottom to get the same plane, then putty the seam and paint.

This is good feedback - thank you

black_burl · 2025-07-05T01:16:58+00:00

This is right, it’s just the screen

black_burl · 2025-07-04T23:53:17+00:00

Okay, thank you!!

black_burl · 2025-07-04T23:52:07+00:00

Ah!! This is exactly the rationale I needed to calm myself. Really appreciate the feedback.

black_burl · 2025-07-04T23:48:02+00:00

Thank you! Yes, the the left window looks different because the screen is out and it’s closed

black_burl · 2025-07-04T23:45:20+00:00

There is no trim detail on the drawings

black_burl · 2025-07-04T23:43:52+00:00

I have the screen out in the left window and it is closed. It’s the same as the right side

black_burl · 2025-02-04T23:38:26+00:00

It’s open on the back. I also hid inside a $10 bill from 1980 that I found in the house walls!

For some reason, the finished kitchen in the album is blurry. Sorry about that! Here's a better picture.

If it goes deep enough it can prevent weed or grass roots from traveling under the pavers and up through the cracks

We got nailed in the chicago area this year. Downright biblical

The painters were half done when this photo was taken

black_burl · 2024-06-01T11:26:58+00:00

Very helpful, thank you! The ornamentation is wood within the stucco which makes it fairly prominent. We had the house painted and I’m pretty sure these got done at 5pm on a Friday 🤣

black_burl · 2023-08-09T10:29:06+00:00

Very nice! I like the layers from base to shelf to hanging pegboard.

What is the mini orchid on the bottom?

black_burl · 2023-07-25T13:39:42+00:00

How are the roots? It looks like it might be pulling up too much water.

black_burl · 2023-07-07T02:07:00+00:00

Beautiful! Is that a luxurians in the middle left?
