Electrical Panel finishing

Last year this customer had their entire electrical panel replaced, and I went in first to change the underlying exterior grade drywall to solid plywood - now it needs to be finished, along with the door and roof trim.

Burst pipe -

 This outdoor spigot has the same problem every year - a stretch of copper exposed to the cold winter air that always cracks the joints - this time, I ran a piece of heavy duty rubber hose from the tap to the connection inside the house, to allow for expansion and contraction in the future -

This handrail had to come off so I could run a new vent line for the plumbing -

Too expensive to tear into the existing bathroom wall to run it inside the wall, but the air behind the water was necessary to drain the lines, and keep the odor from backing up into the basement.

HEY ~!

 Had some small jobs to do this past weekend, including this PT deck fix -

 This is why drywall screws are not used outside - I did the temporary repair, using exterior grade screws, the silver ones in the pic.
But the damage is done - top boards need to be replaced.
