That was a lot of work! |
Ps. Thanks Captain. Unlike yours this one isn't really old, but it does fool a lot of people. Especially due to its foot thick walls.
|
Perfect addition to a beautiful home.
I love that style. In my humble opinion, it is so elegant and enduring. |
Hope there are more photos coming! Great project.
|
Daepp, that's a beautiful house! And the new porch looks terrific. Your use of materials honored the house design well.
|
That's a nice place and the new portion is looking fantastic. I have to say, the masons must be your guys. They do really clean work. Love the concrete counter. Its difficult to find people who do nice finish work and take their time to get it done just right. Most take will take that steel towel give it once over and they are walking to their trucks because they are used to doing rough work. Looking great, did you do the design work. BTW, I love the super clean cheek cuts and connections on the big timber.
|
David, what a superb job at blending old and new together into a seamless whole. Fantastic.
|
Thanks Jeff and others - I'll take all the design credit (if that counts when what your really doing is trying to stay true to the original), and my guys and I did all the concrete work. The block, brick and tile work, along with the timbers were all done by a local craftsman I've used for years.
We've done quite a lot of other work, including re-roofing (once the patio roof structure was complete) with original two-piece clay tile, and taken care of a lot of deferred maintenance. There's a 1200' guest house (ADU) in the offing that I'll try to document; we have planing commission approval and have two years before we ground - but hopefully we will start in the next 6 months. |
David, outstanding! I love the gas lanterns. Are those by Handleman, or?
|
Love everything about it!!

Thanks guys - really appreciate the kind words and feedback!

Fast forward to maybe 5 years ago, one of my cousins built a man-cave/porch/cigar lounge behind his home, and he hung a huge one over the center of the space. Even before I bought the new house I was thinking of ways to incorporate one at my place. Once I moved I rang up my cousin for a referral and ordered 4, smaller wall-mount lamps - knowing I would use them eventually, but before I even started building my patio! This is hastily snapped photo of my cousin's: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1585763803.JPG For my purposes, I opted for the additional protection of a thermocouple. I'm not sure if they're were really necessary but I ponied up for them nonetheless: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1585763803.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1585765826.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1585763803.JPG FWIW, I'm a little nervous clogging up this thread - most people are just posting a single "before" and a single "after" photo. I guess I got a little carried away -perhaps I should have started a "show your remodel" thread...?? |
I wasn't wearing it much, didn't care for the bash. I'm going to a Halloween party so I thought I'd re-bash and weather the hat for the party, grifter style...

Janitor says 200 million and thirty two years old. They ask how can he be so precise. He says when I started working here they said it was 200 million years old. |

My new to me Tejas 2040 before. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1600003454.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1600003454.JPG After cleaning and removing the rust and then painting the firebox with high temp heat. Lots of smoke while re-seasoning of the cook chamber. Have a couple of cooks on it so far and it has been nice to have the extra grill space for low and slow compared to my large BGE. |
Your refresh is the smoker sure does look good. Nicely done on it!
