Hi Nip,

Thats all Azek , there is a small amount of vinyl siding going back up , wait till ya see the 10 inch cove moulding going under the copper roofs.

Kenny

Wow, that trimwork is beautiful. Reminds one of fine furniture or fine interior trim. I had never heard of Azek, so I looked it up. Sounds like great stuff for the coastal environment. I bet it is expensive, though.

I have spent approx 15,000.00 on azek so far, for example a 1x10-18 costs 70.00 and so far Ive used about 100 pieces.

Lookin' terrific lumber. What you using for the shingles. Please tell me they are good old cedar. If they are, they look like they have been pre-treated/stained with a bleaching oil of some sort.

Thats certainteed cedar impressions vinyl siding its actually the siding we removed.

Looks pretty good for have been taken off and put back on 5 times.:clap:

OK, I can see now it is going on in sheets. Sure looks like cedar in the pictures. Now that is going to be a low maintenance "cottage." My mom has a cottage on the ocean (harbor) in Scituate, MA and it sure is hard to keep a good white trim paint job on it in the marine environment. Finally went to vinyl Andersen windows so at least we do not have to scrape and paint those every other year.

Lumberslinger, Do you post over on Contractortalk.com? It's a great contractor forum, we love pictures too! Tons of useful information and more.

I hope I see you there.

The work looks great by the way.

Curt

Wow you guys don't do anything small!! :clap:

Is that a freaking elevator!!? Wow, nice cozy little beach cottage there, huh!

guy across the street from me had an elevator put in, bad knees couldn't climb the stairs, he told me Medicare paid for it..

I've built a few homes in the past with elevators. They are somewhat common in alot of higher end homes.

there very common in the reverse living homes kitchens are on the second or third floors , who wants to carry there grocery bags 3 flights of stairs....haha

we do alot of them now a days.

All that curved cornice under the overhang...musta been a HELLUVA router bit!!...LOL!!...:you:

I like how you guys work - old school. I remember coming up as a carpenter, we always set up the saw, had a dedicated sawyer (on the larger jobs) and cut all our own stuff - headers, trimmers, blocking, etc..

What's that exterior trim material?

There's a lot of great looking exterior mill work on that job. Are you using that new PVC stuff? What you have there looks way nicer that any lumber I'm seeing. I've seen them using PVC trim on some This Old House projects and it seems like it may be the way to get the old fashioned (clear lumber) look.

Very nice looking job.

Hi Scott its all azek and fypon , there isnt any raw material , all the pilings are getting covered with split colums tapered 16 to 14 x 10' tuscon cap and base , this week the copper roof is going on ....that should change the look of the whole house.

I just cant wait to be done and get paid:love:(get my V out of hock)

Would that be the guest house across the street where you have your truck parked?

Ken,

Thanks for the info. I'll be looking into those products.

I'm trying to get time to work on my V so I can get it out of my shop and start catching some the Spring run Salmon headed up the river - it's taking forever :sad:

Man, that is some very nice looking work! :clap:

You've just been nominated for the first annual Cook Construction Co. East Coast Builder Excellence Award - very prestigious, but unfortunately, due to the current economic conditions there is no cash prize. :happy:

Very nice my friend, you guys do some fine work.

Now when we going fishing?

awwwwww memories of when there was work!!!!

i know that feeling, i work in power plants during outages, and even they have cut way down on duration and the amount of people they bring in, im lucky to get three months of work a year last couple years. used to be able to find temporary construction jobs in between but last couple years thats been almost impossible to do.most of the guys i know dont have enough work to keep themselves and thier regular guys busy, let alone bring in some extra help. Hopefully things will pick up for you

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Man thats nice.........the house that is. As I sit here in my shorts and sandals:sly:

Now no one will want to see my kitchen remodel.........

Hey LS - I thought you were busy doing vacation properties for those rich Wall Street guys.

I'm actually reasonably busy right now, but need to get serious about lining up work to keep it that way. Doing an 8-Operatory dental office build-out now, but last year was a killer - was crawling around under houses, hugging fiberglass wrapped ducts (repairs for real estate closings) - man, was that miserable.

Hope things pick up for you and you get some good boat time this year.
