Dog Ramp
This is a ramp I made for my recently blind Chihuahua, Eevee.
Safety violations galore on this ramp
That's a much stronger railing. Add some doors for a little storage.
Gotta have traction for such a steep incline
Puzzle storage
Doggies with disabilities approved
Thanks Dad!
Laundry/Pantry Doors
This laundry closet is open to the kitchen and also doubles as a pantry. It needed some doors after the cat's continued getting into the food and making huge messes. The opening is an irregular size for standard doors and is nowhere near level. I had to frame the doors while leaving enough room to use the washer/dryer.
Fix the walls
Very tight
The doors are as level as possible given the space constraints.
Really tight fit, but it works! The noise of the machines is dampened and the cats can no longer get into the food. Success.
Hole in the Ceiling
I added this fan & had to make the spot from the old light dissapear.
Cut a patch for a somewhat close fit & create support behind it. Remember, drywall used for ceilings is typically 5/8 thick, not 1/2
First pass of mud. Tape the joints for added strength.
Second pass
Spray on a little texture (careful, this stuff gets everywhere)
Orange Peel
No more hole. Going to paint the whole ceiling after I add some more lights.
Under the Sink, Under the Sink
No need to fear, but you don't want it wet here. Take it from me.
Get that disposal out the way. Thank you, Ikea for the work tray.
Remove all de cruddy
New ring of putty
Under the Sink!
Window Silly
Pain in the glass
Amazing glass-surrounded pool in Malibu. It was serving this wonderful client well for decades, but over the years the ocean air took it's toll and caused a lot of rot. I got to replace a few of these.
This has stood up pretty good for 30 years in the ocean air.
Gently remove the glass panels & strap them to a frame Danny was so kind to build.
Remove rotted wood
New beams in place
Replace glass, rebuild frame
Repeat
Now do these
All good.
