In the last two photos you can see I changed the detail a little , the old had a fillet type carraige , on a open deck I don't like that detail , it holds water causing rot.
Miter's all biscuited and glued ,

Stairway area to be cont. on Monday.

Beautiful! I'm sure the people you are building the addition & deck for, are really pleased 8-)
Extremely nice project as we have come to expect from you, PEG.
Yes so far it's going great they do tear out and clean up at night to save $$.
Inside we've pulled out a bathroom wall, kitchen wall , dinning room wall , and upstairs we torn out a bathroom and are adding two . Quite a over all project , two of the lower level walls where bearing so we put in two new beams LVL's , well really three one beam is a dbl 3 1/2"x 9"x 17' so a total 7"x 9" beam witha flush ceiling so we had to hold up the 2nd floor/ roof , cut out the floor joist , put the new beams up into the pocket , post under , to direct bearing beams in crawler / to the footings , and hang all the joist off the new beam.
We also added a powered room , and a utility / laundry room in the garge area .
The other beam is 3 1/2" x 9" x 14' , but it under the existing joist so it was a bit less complicated to install.
Going to be quite a improvement to the overall house. Pretty complicated to descrbe all we've done , but not many rooms in the org. house are the same .
Thanks Sassy :)
Hey PEG, just that one picture "Miter's all biscuited and glued" says it all! Superior craftsmanship and attention to detail. I hope those folks are cognizant of how great a job you are doing for them. The rounding of the edges, the little inside corner fillet,; it's superb! PLUS, I really like the bevel cuts on the bottoms of the posts as detailed in the fourth photo. Chopping them off square is oh so much more common.
Wow! :o Nice Work.
Thanks , Hey Mtn. D did you notice the Alaskan yellow cedar bung / plug used to cover the screw hole , what few that are visible in photo's 5 and 8 I beleive. In the side of the rail / 2x6. Also note there are no fasterners down thru the top of that rail , all screwed from underneath, no where for water to get in and discolor , rot that R. Cedar cap. ;)
The home owners a at home woodworker so he see's most of the little details , great folks to work for :) They are very happy with the remodel / addition.
I don't think they are tired of the mess yet as progress has been pretty fast and thier decission making is a little behind they're pretty busy tryin to keep up.
I figger some of you will pick up style / detail points from some of these photo's and use them on your own places. Sort a fun to think how many folks will learn / use something , a detail / way to do some thing from this website :)
Might even be good for the ego, but I don't think that totally why I post / do this. Just tryin to keep up with Glenn ;D
G/L PEG ::)
I noticed the plugs PEG, but was having a devil of a time figuring out the species. ::)
Also noticed the posts look like they grew right out of the decking. It's all very nice.
I'll need it Glenn , thanks 8-)
I like the color contrast of the dissimilar wood bung / plugs . And as bonus in this load of 80 2x2's of Red Cedar can 2 each, Alaskan Yellow Cedar 2x2's . I'm not sure how that could happen in a lumber mill that 2 piece of 2x2 could be milled / bundled and shipped out of two different types of wood , seems odd , but hey it's a bonus in a way , so why try to figger it out. Just except it and use the wood for plugs , maybe that why I got that bundle of 2x2 's I was about out of Al. yellow in the shop 8-)
Here's the almost finished stair a few deck skirt boards and details to finish up , and some of the inside beams , walls , and the in general mess of remodeling ;D

I think I could drive my Jeep up those stairs; plenty stout!! :) and an oak beam!
As per usual, I love it all.
Thanks for the pix and details, PEG. :)
Thanks , ya the stairs are stout , built outta something I know about ;)
On the stairs per code locally we have to use 2x materials for treads and the stair horse have to be 12" OC or less. A bit over built for a short stair , but say we have 10 or maybe more treads , a long run of stairs and two guys are delieving a sub zero refer , or a big party and the stairs get loaded for some reason so a lot of moving weight , so thats the why of the 12"oc , etc . A bit of overkill for this short run , but code is code and common reasoning/ sence must be abandoned :-X
I was trying to show how I attach the horse's to the platform mostly , although each stair has it's own conditions where they attach that methord sort of can be changed / copied / adapted to fit / work for others.
Ah no Oak beams on the job Mtn. D the ridge beam is a Fir gluelam and the other beams are LVL's (Laminated veneer lumber) the Oak your reading , maybe :-/ is Oak Harbor the town that the beam was delievered to. The local lumber yard , Frontier Industries , has 7 or so stores so Frontier : Oak Harbor tells the driver which Frontier to drop it it .
Not , Space the final Frontier, either Glenn , ::)peremptive strike, just in case you where thinking about the Klingon chick again ;D
Craftsman at work... :)
Ahh - fond memories, PEG. Thanks. :)
Great Job PEG!! Love the photos......I am really excited because I have decided to change my siding from all cedar shingles to cedar beveled siding and shingles.
I have been try to get a few photos for my wife to see what I was talking about and now that she has seen it, she loves it! What did you or they use for window trim? Brick molding maybe?

That does make a lot more sense. :-[
I have duly noted the stair horse mounts. :)
Quote

Brick molding maybe?
The windows are white vinyl , no trim .
The Dbl. door , exterior has standard brick mold on it.
Glad the photo's where helpful.
And yes we did the siding.
Thanks , PEG
Forgive my "lack of knowledge" here PEG, but what then what do you do around the windows to seal them from water? Do you just use that flashing tape around them and then butt the siding against them. Then caulk the siding where it meets the window?
Just curious.....getting ready to do mine and thought I had it figured out and then I saw the pictures and...well here we are...asking questions again!!
Pretty much , we Typar the wall , or felt , we cut the Typar at the top as per the Grace vycor booklet , at angle from the window hole , and up and away 4" or so, flip that tab up set the window on the Typar , plumb and level. Then Vycor across the botton extending 4" or so past the window , do the side from 4" above the window down over the bottom strip , then do the head over the window flange and over the side tape , flip down the Typar tab and your done.
This job was back caulked , just before the siding in put up a bead is run on the corner brd and the window frame , siding is set into that wet caulk , try for very little squeeze out.
Tip don't cut the siding to tight , if you have to bow it out and spring it in it will push / or crack that window frame .
G/L PEG
D/W's hung , folks are painting walls and ceilings, we got the Red Cedar T&G ceiling up in the addtion yesterday ,

Thats would be Glenn dept. I don't do much chain saw work ::) ;D
When you use a chainsaw, you don't care about trim. :)
Again, looks beautiful, PEG 8-) - everything is perfect.
BTW, what hand sign is the guy in the Bearcreek Advertisement flashing? Just wondering...

I duknow either it's some new wave / current rock groupie thing , or the ole Texas hookum horns thing :-/ ;D
BTW that guy in the photo could be the brother(looks wise) of one of the guys who works with me right now. ;D
I just like the "idea " that we carpenters SHOULD be looked at like rock stars , ya know without all the hype and nasty glamour ;D
I think carpenters should all be like Batgirl. :o
It would make the workplace more enjoyable, and still shows that can-do problem solving, obstacle overcoming attitude.
No problems, climbing walls, fear of heights, staying on roofs, etc. :)

Oh well you people seem to like it :'(
(https://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/PEG688/May24th7.jpg)
Odd deck , roof over head will rest on those 16' Cedar posts , beams hung between , in HUC hangers , hard as heck to get perfect alignment with hangers in a row like that :'(
(https://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/PEG688/May24th8.jpg)
Diagonal Bracing due to Treks not adding much for racking strength, another man made product I could live without ::)

Stair horses we gottum , 11" OC , 7 ea. another challenge to cut 7 identical jacks and install them 11" apart. No room for error , or it shows :-[ (https://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/PEG688/May24th11.jpg)
Anyone need weeds ??

Heres a year old ZMAX A35 , see the corrosion the white hairs , gonna be a problem with all this ACQ stuff sooner or later , and it looks sooner to me :o

(https://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/PEG688/May24th18.jpg)
I will take no credit for these horses / jacks , the boss cuttum last years :'( :'( ;D
Heres what the architect drew for the horse to deck connection , it a sort of PITA with the hangers on the end two corners , you have to compensate for them , the metal , or the inner jacks / horses will not line up.
It is a good solid way to attach , he didn't have the hangers in his detail, I added those ;).
(https://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b299/PEG688/May24th21.jpg)
Heres the year old Trek treads and cedar risers , Trek just doesn't look good to me , but TK Cedar is getting so crappy it's almost not useable , Ipe , and Purple heart are getting popular around here.
I don't like the plastic boards either.
As for the Hardy - house next door has it -- caulked ends now have about 3/16 gaps between all of them.
Love the detail shots PEG. Thanks especially for the hanger bracket method on the stair horses. And once again; marvelous collection of horses... I know it's WA code, looks like overkill, but I'd certainly feel secure treading on those Trex.

The beer on the right is non acholic for me , I used to drink like a sailor , well I was a sailor so it was expected ;D
But the pizza was pretty good , I got two can openers which was a really good thing cuz when I opened the package one fell right clean thru the dock boards , perfect strike ::) never even touched the sides , nope right friggin thru to the drink thank you :-[ :'( ;D
We where sailing on Penn cove which is well right in Coupville , Wa.

Might be , Glenn had other ideas ::) From what I gather from the younger set it means "Rock on!" as in rock and roll music forever, or some such , YMMV ;D
I'll leave it to Wikipedia to explain.
QuoteRock and Heavy Metal Music
It also has a variety of meanings in heavy metal and is known by a variety of terms: devil sign, devil horns, goat horns, metal horns, metal sign, throwing the goat, evil fingers, Pommesgabel (Pommes = fries, Gabel = fork), mano cornuto, peka evil, the horns, also "Rock Fist" or Rock on "Visel" in some U.S. rock music subcultures.

that's it
:) Geeze I love this site! I found it yesterday when trying to find info on building a barn style shed ( have a metal one and it's too small and leaks) Now I am sitting here suffering from deck envy...lol. I live in a mobile home ...sniffle sniffle but am making the best of it. Last year I installed double hung GASP!! insulated windows I salvaged from a tear down and built a porch. My porch is not nearly as nice as your deck but it turned out ok for being my first porch. I'm planning to cover the underside of the roof with white salvaged vinyl skirting....I'm such a scavanger..lol check out my porch and let me know what you think.
:) hmmmm how do you add more than 1 pic at a time?
Looks good huggie , I just keep C&Pasting photo's in , there seems to be no limit on the # of photos you can insert per post as far as I can tell.
Deck envy-- I love it. :)
The only difference is that you don't use the insert file at the bottom of the page -- host it on Photobucket first then copy and paste the bottom IMG link here to your message -- there is a section on posting photos in the forum news.
