The smoke is because it's a smoker. The @milwaukeetool drill is because the motor to spin the meat isn't supposed to smoke also. #cottageproblems #bbq #smoker #milwaukee #drill #problemsolving
Apprentice Ryan. He's not on Instagram but can swing a hammer with the best of them. Favourite task is demo, least favourite would probably be finishing a task before nap. He is up daily for 6, and doesn't even need coffee to be ready to work. #donothirethistoddler #apprentice #tradie #teachthemyoung #carpentry #keepcraftalive
Tile going down at our #caledonreno is always a good sign. We're boarded with our fiberglass faced gypsum and lined up for a full level 5 plaster skim. Just a few more days of tile. And yes I know that is not my ideal schedule. But sometimes that's how it falls to keep the schedule going. And we will keep the tile protected! #kitchen #drywall #tile #ditraheat #ottawarenovation #remodel #crafstmanship #renovations

His first new build. Pretty sure the birds will love it.
What happens when a carpenter, a structural engineer and a welder get together at a century old porch? They work together to quickly and efficiently solve a tricky situation! Situation: the rafters on this roof had pulled off the house by roughly 3 and we're only being held up by the roof boards and shingles. Not ideal. Solution: 3/16 welded steel plate cut, bent and welded to match the roof pitch then lagged through both layers of board sheathing on the house and lagged to the rafters. Difficult and unplanned for? Yes. But this is why it is important to surround yourself with the best team. And I swear no more structural posts from the #lewisstporch now! #steel #welding #carpentry #custom #sitemade #engineering #roof #rafters #porch #heritageottawa #structure #framing #keepcraftalive

Meanwhile we've passed all our inspections at the #caledonreno and board was delivered this morning. Time to board and then move into finishing! I'll try to go into more details in the coming days and times some of the products and techniques we've been using here to help our client who suffers from some pretty extreme chemical sensitivities. #renovation #kitchen #bathroom #altavista #remodel #ottawarenovation #roxul
