i got a finish nail gun for my birthday which has sped things up a bit. the one problem with having a nail gun vs a hammer is that with a hammer you car efully locate each nail so you do not use more than you need to reduce the amount of nail hammer and thumb sm ashing. With a nail gun you just go POP POP POP POP POP and sud denly you have 100 0 little nail holes to fill and sand smooth.
(slightly early photo) I love how I’m not done and its already been completely consumed with crap.

Way to go on the HVAC enclosures. Classy. I’ve never seen that layout in a house, so I assume it was a central AC added to a house that didn’t originally have it?

Bastards that installed the shelving in our closets did the same thing, except with brads that I would swear were 3" long. They were placed roughly every 1/4", top and bottom. They had to do it that way since there was no additional support for the shelves. I discovered this when I had to pull the shelves out to install a new shelving system.

my wife said even if I dont want a wall between the kitchen and living room, the kids still needed heat in there bedrooms. I took the ducts out down to the main and ran new flex lines. This was the easiest way of getting them back upstairs.

The stairs to my basement were attached at the top to the huge crossbeam down the center of the house with approximately 1,000,000,000 4" nails, all at slightly different angles. In hindsight, we should have flush-cut them all, however painstaking that would have been. prying it off made about 4000
pieces out of a 2x12 that was 36" long.
Why did we rip out the stairs to the basement, you ask? Because the treads were uneven depth AND height. How do you even do that?

Well done! Looks great, and hides those ducts perfectly! I am guessing you don’t really use that fireplace?

not really, probably twice last winter. its all far enough away that I am not worried about it going up in flames. it was a lot of work to basically disguise the duct chases.

Gotcha. Those don’t put a ton of heat out to the sides, anyway. But also, the birch logs look exactly the same in every picture, so I figured they were the same ones, haha

haha they are. i ddn;t even notice that. they are even in the original photo. I like how they look so I take them out and use other wood and put them back when I’m done. Yea i’ve only used it like 2, maybe 3 times
