Backyard Blast

The only new lumber in the extension was the 2x6 PT flooring, to match floor heights

Perfect example of "Re-Molishing" = I used the old lumber to make the new extension on the shed built in  2009

Backyard Blast

This was the old shed - had to come down; moldy on the inside, and not very well laid out

New for 2012

Added a vent to the kitchen sink line, and a new GFCI branch for safer electrical at the countertop

First Work of 2012

I have been away from the Remodeling and repair work for 6 months while I am pursuing a Home Inspection license from the State of New York.  Did get some work done for a rental property, a little plumbing and electrical

Attic Fan

And one other thing I found, too....

Attic Fan

Some electrical work - a new thermostat on the fan, wired through a junction box.

Attic Fan

The original vent was probably enough for the new fan, but I plan to install 18x24 vents to be sure I have the right amount of area - which requires a little restructuring - and the siding on the other side covers that vent, too....

Attic Fan

The house originally had the cement/asbestos tiles over this crummy "exterior grade" drywall - cheap for the '60s, and so I will re-side it with OSB when the fan is installed.

Attic Fan

This client has an A/C unit in the attic, and felt that it was over-working, and that the attic itself may need more ventilation.  Well - I knew it needed a power vent, but look what I found - the siding was done by another company, five + years ago....

This might have to do with the excessive heat, no ????
