What did you accomplish today?

Got the duct work covers polyurethaned. Finally.

Garage was cramped storage area for the past year. Plus I knew it would smell like poly for 24 hrs.

I got 1/2 can of poly left. When I'm late in flower, I'm gonna do it again to mask the stink for a day. (Inline fan exhaust dumps into garage.) As a matter of fact, it might get a coat every day for a couple weeks. Lol.

Ceiling looks like a bowling alley. I used hardwood floor thick poly.

Is that a Tudor Garage?

I worked another 12 hour shift today on the floor that I've was working on last week . Today I did prep on the stages and installed risers and nosing on the lower stage. The nosing is designed to be installed between stair stringers, but I don't get the easy jobs, ohh hell no, I have to put that shit on stepped stages that are on angles to the main room. So ilI' get some pics of this crap when I have more completed.

Ohh did I mention that I have to use contact cement to install the nosing lots and lots of contact cement and pre wipe everything with denatured alcohol, the fumes in the room are very over powering. But not as bad as Saturdays enamel paint.

Here's a couple of pics of the crap I was posting above.
Nice, Bareback. That looks like a real bitch of a pattern. So viewed from above the idea is that the risers disappear and the pattern looks unbroken? I'm glad there are people like you in the world, with the patience to make art. It would be a very drab world left to people like me.

Stuff would all be battleship grey and at a slight angle from straight...

Yes exactly, it's not my design I'm just installing it. I work at a major University and this is a recital hall. (Ok maybe a practice recital hall ) 4 colors 9 sizes 3 stages

It's not the biggest or the most complex but it might end up being the most time consuming psf.

That's a bitch!
I've got a buddy with a HUGE deck and he built it using half as many screws as he should have.
Everywhere there's 1 screw, there should be 2. :dunce:

It's been that way for at least 5 years...
I've build docks in bays right of the gulf, and we only nail down at the minimum requiremented amount, because when the hurricanes come and the waves get big it will knock the deck off and leave the frame, if we put to many nails then it will take the whole damn thing out.

Yeah, I have a beetle like that, not the curved screen, but the old style with the windscreen 2 inches away from your face. There is not a lot of weight to an old Volkswagen Type 1 (that is the proper name).
what year is it?

Have you worked with DiamondPiers yet? These are a first for me on this deck, they're kinda new. My sister's house is built on a hill and back filled with lots of rock so digging holes for the posts would've been almost impossible. These worked slicker than shit but they're not cheap at $120 each.
