Mornin P.J.!

Your post says 3:00 A.M. here.
Middle of the danged night!

Hunting blind pics came in last night. The door was built to my specified width. But not the door opening. My manual chair will fit . Not sure about the electric. I'll measure it later. Might have to pull or adjust an arm rest. I want it so other disabled folks can use the blind.

Someday I 'm going to have a chat with the builder...
Told the guy I deal with who is more a middleman who does advertising to stay in touch to learn more about wheelchair blinds.
A niche market , but why not have a set of plans on hand?
(I didn't mention that breaking the cookie cutter routine seems hard on the builder(s).)

Blind will be delivered Friday afternoon.
I'll meet the guy hauling it several miles from where it will end up.
No address and not easy to find the right spot /property. If you go past it then it becomes how to turn around...
Hauler said ya , I don't want to get shot going on the wrong property. Which is kind of odd as the former resident of a nearby home that stopped to chat one day keep saying "don't shoot!"
Nervous folks I guess.

Another case where having more than two people involved leads to garbled communication. Still don't have a final price. L.o.l..
I could show the delivery guy the price for a standard blind I was sent and show him where I wrote send me my final cost , with no other reply about it.
But I won't. Unless he doesn't hand me an invoice!

Come cold weather though I might be snug. With more room than in years past.

Top of day RC
So true on that.

(I didn't mention that breaking the cookie cutter routine seems hard on the builder(s).)
I have a natural respect for mold breakers.

We have our stairs completed company said a half day to template, 1 day to install.
If the trim guy finishes today it will be amazing.
He worked for us through another company 10 yrs ago.
Now he has to clean up the other installers boo-boos.
I ended up going to buddies shop planing 1/2" trim down to a 1/4", then helping him rip it on my table saw.
I don't get paid for my time.
Lucky it was a quote and not by the hour.
Then again one guy that was here 4 days was living off his Grandfather's skills.

That is commendable but doesn't make a person a finisher carpenter, just because the Gramps was.
Spent more time texting, youtube surfing than working.
A tit on Bore type of generation?
Good help is hard to find.

Yeah the stuff is some mean stuff. If you write on your skin with it it will leave a red mark that lasts for awhile. I don't like getting the stuff on my skin. Isn't terrible or anything to the likes of say poison oak but still not fun

I wish I had a fine stair carpenter in my life at the moment.
Got a recommendation
The guy doesn't work, just did the quote.
Now it's changed to the trim guy. He got 1/2 the chat on what had to be done.
Nosing too thick, should of shimmed flooring.
Now there's a 3/32 difference on the sweep.
Geez I could do a better job.
I have the ace hidden in the hole, make it all right and I hand over the $$$.
So 1 day is now going to be 5 days.
Someone screwed up.

Well the nosing and the floor issue starts at the 11th (55in.)board from the right. Then for 17 boards (85in)the flooring drops below the nosing. 3mm which leaves a unleveled issue.
They should of shimmed the flooring to match the height of the nosing.

I was kidding. Putty is the painters job!
What type/brand flooring is that?
Sub floor should have been level.

Was that flooring acclimated? And it should have a gap against the walls, it will expand.
