Hanging Chandeliers 

A funny moment hanging Chandeliers.. we have hung many small ones like the ones shown.  Hung larger ones with 3-500 crystals, and even giant iron chandeliers weighing over 250 lbs!

Glass Repair

One of my least favorite jobs due to the risk factor is working with glass!  I don’t do it often, but when a window is built a certain way, we can work with it.. And large panes are completely out of the question!!

Roofing

Today we are working on our sixth storm damage job from severe weather that rolled through a couple weeks ago.  From downed trees to downed fences to missing shingles… We’ve had a bit of everything!

Life Size Angry Birds

Here’s an idea inspired by the crazy-popular Angry Birds…  I thought we came up with something pretty clever, but come to find out…lots of people have done it!

IMG_20120504_185455I simply used 4 inch PVC sewer pipe a couple of caps, a couple of elbows and a “T” then spray-painted it brown.

396969_10151079103212835_395982536_nThe biggest issue to me was keeping it stable from a lot of use and keeping it from twisting and turning when a lot of pressure was applied.  I decided that using 2 “T” fence posts was the easiest and most cost effective solution.  I used bungee chords to tie it to the slingshot.  The best launching device in our case (water balloons) was a 3 person water balloon launcher.  It turned out to be perfect for 5-10 year olds (and adults) to use!

(Here’s a link to a review on the slingshot)

The slingshot is now traveling from party to party…

Brick Sidewalk and new Rail

We added a brick sidewalk and white railing onto a home in North Richland Hills. We matched the brick and railing with the existing house design and got it all approved through the homeowners association. They went from a plain sidewalk to a beautiful walkway!

Garage door frame and install

A customer in Grapevine had an open carport that we framed in to install a garage door.  The opening had to be about a foot narrower to accommodate the new door.  After trim and painting,  it turned out pretty good!

Flooring on the sunken living room

Here is the laminate we installed on top of the sunken living room floor frame from the previous post
