Restoring the Low-Siding

There are often separation "Black" lines that take away the vision of Oneness! Too build things requires several components pieced together, the highest finish can bring out the bueaty in those (things) that are made to be indivually appeasing to the eyes carpentry

Drawer Parts

Each & Every Single Abode across God's Green planet has a pull-out compartment simply known as a Drawer! So all You Finish Carpenters take note; lol!!
These utilitarian devices can be in the Bathroom, Closet, Kitchen, Office desk etc. and when left open or pulled out, will eventually get in the way too be gently bumped or ran into and ripped to the floor.
The image above was still connected, but had been knocked All out of sorts and needed a Finish Hardware Guy too realign the owners smile.
This type of  Drawer Slide has fixed pins used as locks for its proper function

Problem Solved

Hi again Folks. From last months Blog, the rain that had not been caught & redirected by the Rain Gutters, destroyed the exteriors battened down Low Siding & the Low Siding such as T&G or Shiplap will have tiny shelves that begin where the Dry-Rot Wood take place that we all want to avoid.
Now all the while the rushing water from the front of this property rushed to the lower back section and found a hole in a the concrete foundations stem wall.
And of course after some unaddressed amount of time this natural element began rotting all the interiors trim work too. As to allow Me start flashing my Top Quality Craftsmanship skills. Every one of the int. base boards & casings trim had soaked up the wall. As too expose the challenge of repairing their debacle, under budget that is.
Wound up that I could fabricate Craftsman Style Plinth Blocks, image above. Artisan details that add wow factors for their R.O.I.!
 The rotted areas got cut away using a Woodworking Tool known as a oscillating saw for the fine finish appearance the home owners were looking for! All back primed prior to the final painting. Problem Solved!! Thank You for revisiting .....

Let's Do It Right Together One Last Time!!

Retro-fitting a protective splash plate over Your Low Siding, starts with Top Quality Craftsmanship & ends relativity never , after doing it right. The Gable side of Your roof won't have Gutters so whatever the rain lands on below, bounces back up onto the wall. Beginning the destruction
low sidingmade simple by retrofitting atop"> of the finished product outside of any cementitious varieties. This image is that low siding that took the beating every rainy season. The Insects, such as termites can smell the Dry Rot from  the permeating odors and will seek them out. To save further damage as well as dollars, we then Retrofitted right over the existing wood using a copper barricade and cutting out to rid all the existing bad materials except for some of the 1x2 batts here. I replaced the bad rotted batts and cut a 15 degree drip on the saved ones. This won't break the bank, but will certainly add value for an R.O.I. immediately.
