r/Carpentry

Yes I’m repairing the rotted wood on the ends.

Had some water damage a few months back and two sets of flooring installers (from the same company who gave us the original quote) said the flooring can't be replaced.
The second set of installers replaced the transition strip and revealed strong adhesive from the old strip that can't be scrubbed off with mineral spirits or rubbing alcohol. Pictures 2 & 3. Any advice would be appreciated.

So they want 300 somethin dollars for a 4 gang charger when they give me one just about every time I get a set. Cmon. Least I made it look pretty. It even sits on an angle so you can see it better! I have gotten... comments on the job site.😆

Wall taken out, and this is how the beam was installed

Still, kinda stoked how it turned out. I tried to mortise and tenon the one on the backside of the house but that one is for my eyes only 😂. Really stoked the fire of learning joinery though.

Just bought a new build. After getting moved in, we found a hump in our kitchen floor. The framer came out and said that two joists were too low and one was too high. They did some work in the crawlspace adding joists. This is how they left it saying that I was in tolerance in perfect what legs do I have to stand on?

Need to make a soft arc. Never done it before. I have the height and width laid out. Now just need to do the radius and lay that out. Any help appreciated

Edit: material was provided. Flex trim and straight trim

I’ve had this hammer and bar for two years and as im using it as a shovel i realized how well they have held up.

I switched to the titanium head soon after initial purchase. I highly recommend these titanium tools.

I think if I were to do it again I’d go with a longer handle if possible, besides that I love it.

I don’t even remember where I bought this square from. Wondering if anybody knows what it’s purpose is I would love to actually use it : )

Hi my name is Kirk, I am requesting help from anyone and everyone my wife has PPMS Multiple Sclerosis. I have incurred alot of debt to get her all the treatment she needs and she is finally on the road to recovery but at a great cost to my family. I am asking for help to cover the loans and the time off of work that I've had to take on in order to facilitate everything. I also and trying to pay for everything to keep my daughter busy our place running and travel expenses I am a carpenter and make the entire income for the family myself. I have hit rough times trying to cover everything and it's taking a toll on me. I just want my family to be ok and get back to 0 so we can start to live something of a normal life. But right now I don't see the end to these bills and just covering interest payment on everything is killing me. If I can get some help either with donations or even just people sharing it around to get it out there for the right people to see and help that would be greatly appreciated by me and my family.

I thank you all for taking the time to look at or read my post.

Sincerely

Kirk

The window trim is being pushed towards the inside and separating at the bottom corners. It was slightly worse during winter.

The top corners barely show any separation compared to the bottom.

The outside looks good.

What's going on? Is this a problem?

should I measure the door frame with the trim on or off. I bought 1x5’s for the frame. I haven’t made any cuts yet

Ive had this one since the beginning of this year. When I got it the head was perfectly flush with the handle. Ive been doing some rough and form work lately, my guess is its the concrete getting in and draining every bit of moisture. My question is, do any of you have experience with this on a wooden handle hammer? My plan was to drive the rings in further and then cut the handle flush again

Exterior corner repair. I'm considering sistering another top plate in there and looking for suggestions. I'm planning to sister the studs as well.

The double top plate probably has enough material to be structural but it's soaked and half rotten so I don't want to leave it like that.

Suggestions and alternatives are welcome!

I am trying to think through what the best way to frame these opposing shed dormers in a truss roof would be. I know the standard way where you have a multi-ply girder truss at either end of the dormer and header off between them, then infill with rafters. But with the width of these dormers you would need a monster girder and header to do it.

In this scenario it seems to me that you could just create the “dormer” by spanning a scissor truss from outside wall to outside wall, then over framing the steeper peak on top.

Am I stupid? What am I missing? What would you do?

TIA
