I much prefer the gable roof. Absolutely hate the roofs with multiple valleys going everywhere, though I get it’s The Look people want in their subdivisions. At most, maybe a couple of dormers. The fewer areas to worry about problems the better.
What ?
Please explain.

Oh. I get it now. Good one.

re: Any downside to trex decking?

Just remember that it is not structural, so it may not be suitable for your joist spacing without adding additional joists.
I like it.
Are you talking about the butt joints between two ends? These should never be large enough to put a sliver in. 1/8 - 3/16. Caulk those, with any exterior caulk that stays pliable
Never caulk the horizontal seams where two pieces lap.
Any gap 1/2” or larger I would put a slice of siding with caulk on both edges.
Kubota dealership ? I was just there Monday.
Let me know if you get a sandblaster set up. I’ve got a few things that need attention.
LOL. Those were the days. Raking in 8.00/hr when working for someone else, or being able to charge 45.00/sq (materials included) when not working for someone else.

Appreciate your good humor !
I was putting roofs on in the eighties. Stayed pretty busy. Don’t recall any 15 year insurance stuff, though.
Holding used to be 15 yards. But it was almost an automatic drive.killer, so they reduced it to 10.
Try Gulf South Equipment on Hooper Road. Brent Carpenter.

Conditioner then stain, wipe off with a rag if looks too dark.

First, level that crosspiece.

Good job, dad.
I like it. When it’s going your way, press it.
A guy we used to play poker with, a pretty bad player, would sit there and lose a couple thousand if it took him all night. Conversely, if he got 300 ahead, he suddenly had to leave. Needless to say, not a good strategy.
Never run away from the deck when the cards are running over you.
Let me help y’all out. The difference between what you walked in the door with and what you walked out with is all that counts. All those ups and downs you experience while playing do not mean a thing, except for maybe a learning experience, helping you in the future decide when to walk away or what to avoid.
Mine were really nice, they were Kraftmade. No real problems with the cabinets, but like you said, the hardware was low-end. Built in 2010. I think it was around 13 k.
A client of mine had some similar, but 23 k. That was in 2002 or so. No real problems.
I mostly agree. Although, their semi-custom all wood cabinets are better, they are still overpriced for what you get. They’re bumping up close to what a cabinet maker would charge. The matching crown is super high, one skin I ordered was over 300 dollars, I sent it back.
Note : this was Lowe’s not Home Depot.

50 k ? Maybe, MAYBE for a super high-end master bathroom. What you are talking about doing it’s doubtful you would get anywhere near as much as 15k.

Call Raymond with Southern Showers 225-202-8409. I know he’s done several for the folks on here. Me included.

I do know that Southern Showers guarantees their custom showers to be 100% waterproof. Super quality workmanship.
Saw a Northwestern State WR make a catch at midfield. For a first down. Losing 21-0 in the first and he got up and started “ making it rain” like he was flipping out cash money.
