Since I was a child, I was always exposed to the element of construction. Everything from woodworking to welding, cement construction to furniture. No, I wasn't a child laborer. I just had a versatile grandfather. He was a guiding vector in my world. Always has been, always will be. I am grateful for the foundation he blessed me with. My family is incredibly important to me. They are the inspirati

Every structure needs a good roof. Here in Florida that means handling a lot of sun.

Framework is almost complete. This is definitely a higher level poolside cabana.

Long week last week! But worth it! Started another project - Building a poolside cabana.

We came in contact with someone that removed a tub and converted it to a shower. Very common.
But they had some issues when they were done. No water drained out.

We went to look and sure enough water didn't flow even under pressure. This is a rare case for it to go this bad, but the multiple missteps found were worth sharing.
1. DO NOT WASH DOWN CEMENT, CONCRETE, THINSET, MORTAR, SAND, DOWN THE DRAIN. Not even a little. It does not go past the trap and WILL eventually harden. Even if you don't get enough down there to complete plug you will drain slower.
2. Do not leave the old trap in a floor then add another trap. You will drain slower, have gurgling, and never be able to snake that drain if you needed to.
3. Some form of liner is required. Building codes mandate it, and I get it DIY..... Codes shmodes..... But with no liner, it will seep to the adjacent spaces. So vinyl liner, liquid membrane (my preference), old school tar. Something.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Remember that floor frame rebuild? Looks a LOT better now. A good foundation adds years and life to your home.

Whew! Been hard at work on the new project. We are rebuilding the floor frame. We removed the rotten wood and put in some nice healthy wood.

Staining some boards for a different project.

(The boards didn't mind being stained by the river.)
