The wall mounted T.V. bracket required extra in wall backing to attach to the framing for positive contact, so too keep it in the  precise center location of its desired room locale.

Carpenters DIY


 Time will allow any true DIY'er the ability too learn, the Carpenters help there folks needed, because the prior Carpenters did not allow for any pre-protection on this moisture damaged 20' patio ledger that needed replacing. So when Craigs Clout got the Carpentry correction call to Repair it, I made it clear that this Carpenter will pre back prime it,  I.O.W. protect any material thats hidden, so the painter will not be ever touching those areas of pieces placed. And this Carpenter used the
 ( helper Jig I used) to carry the weight of the other end of this 2x6 (image above)
All things are possible in a "can do" thought path!

Drywall Repair



 This client had an old appliance replaced that left some Drywall/Plaster repairs needed. So these kind of Drywall/Plaster Patches is also know in the field, to Artisans, as a Fire Plug. Named for its ease of not having the costly chore of adding any additional 2x's or further demo-ing back to the existing Stud that makes for costly waste of time & quite the dusty mess!
Simply just bury methodically removing the back section of the Drywall and leaving the front part entack to allow the mudd too hold the existing Plaster Repair, therefore, appear -ing as if You had to never do any work @ all! Win-Win, let's work smart rather than hard

The Drywalls frontal existing paper used & remains as proper old too new Drywall Patch Taping. ( Images shown) A clever substitute for the mesh or paper corner drywall type! Have a Great New Year Readers and thanks again for allowing Me too help with Your DIY projects @ Home!

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
this image gives that look.And in Finchley sealed too disallow and penetration that will wind up re-costing or re-building, when it was built & finished right the first time! Saving that hard earned ca$h ! Carpentry 101!!

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
