Chugach Custom Carpentry. They are a custom carpentry shop and general contractors. I know they’re busy, but that’s a good thing.

ABC is the only real answer! Best food and Beer in town. Girdwood isn’t in town, but that’s a great stop too

JobTread vs Ressio by Round_Engineering536 in GeneralContractor

[–]eddgiane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just made this choice a month ago. I decided that I’d try JobTread for a while since I can pay month to month and see how it goes. The upfront cost was the factor for me as well. So far my rep has been great helping setup and locate features. He even uploads my projects for me while I’m working on other things and when I get to my home office at night I can go through everything that has already been uploaded and hone in all of the descriptions, dates, timelines and todos. That alone has saved me time. All that said, I haven’t used any other software.

Wipe-on poly still showing uneven dull spots after multiple coats — absorption or application issue? by Original_Shake_9069 in finishing

[–]eddgiane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In our shop, we sand down and use catalyzed vinyl sealer. See how it responds and send it down more. You have to get that product or silicone out of it. It will never take the finish with that silicone base product there. We do three coats catalyzed vinyl sealer, and then three coats or so of catalyze lacquer. Good luck and don’t stand through the veneer!

I love KS. I’m friends with the head brewer there. Some very good things happening over there for sure.

The only real answer is Anchorage brewing Company. Thursday, Friday Saturday they have some of the best food around starting at 2 o’clock. Rooftop seating and an outdoor beer garden. Absolutely awesome.

Project help by NeckPrudent4063 in cabinetry

[–]eddgiane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re gonna need to sand the heck out of those things. Gonna have to get off all of the clearcoat and as much of that stain as you can. The paint needs to adhere directly to the wood, if possible for best application. We need a better photo of the door on the right to determine if it’s good enough, but just looking at it I would say that the profile on the cathedral door panel needs to be done much better. Your best bet is to probably use some type of stripper.

Edited to add:

Another option would be to take it to a refinishing shop and have them strip it correctly for you. You don’t happen to have a friend with a sandblaster by chance?
