Same here today and yesterday have been a good reprieve lately it’s either 100 and no wind or storming 6 inches of water in two hours. Makes me think it’s going to be another shit year for my outside crop.
What did you accomplish today?

Looks like a lot of fun for you and your family to enjoy. I hope you don't mind if I offer a small bit of advice. There are a number of different ways to support a deck, and disregard me if this was your intention from the start, but generally you would use a concrete pier, rather than sinking posts into the ground. I can explain further if you would like, and address any concerns you may have had with the structural integrity.

This won't be permanent, only up for as long as the pool, few years at the most. This way gives me the option to pull the posts and fill the holes when I take it down. There's no building codes where I live so I can pretty much build how I want as long as it works. I'll be using treated 4x6s to support the deck which should be enough since it won't have any real weight on it. I could've went with diamond piers but at 150$ a piece they get expensive quick.

Finish is slow and tedious, but rewarding. Although I still have a few details left, my client is ecstatic over their new cabinets.

I should have had you build the cabinets for my kitchen!

Im flattered, and would have loved to do that, but honestly I would be hard pressed to do a whole kitchen in my small shop. That doesnt mean I wouldn't try, haha.

My kitchen is a galley type, there aren't many cabinets. 5 plus a pantry on one wall, one upper and 4 lowers on the other. I got ones with pull out shelves on the lowers so I don't have to get on my knees to get stuff off the shelves.

Nice, where did you end up getting them from?

Lowes, took about 6 months to get them in. They are 41 inch tall so I guess they were special order. They are all plywood box also, no particle board.

It will be the focal point of the room!! Beautiful job!
I have the exact same pancake compressor, that came with a staplegun and 2 finish nailers and it has done me well!! Mines gotta be close to 10 years old.

measure twice, cut once!!Last cabinet is loose from the north wall of the kitchen. Now for the scary part, cutting holes in a brand new cabinet.
You got this!!

Thanks. I looked at others but ended up settling on another porter cable. I think I got three years out of the last one. I like how light and compact they are.

Auntie and uncle treated us to an evening on the Sacramento river. Very relaxing, with beautiful scenery, cool temperatures and lots of wild life. And yes...you do get lots of funny looks out there in a pontoon boat, haha.

I’ve two of those pancakes as well one won’t shut off so I only use it for pumping up my lawnmower tire . The other one is about fifteen years old and works great. I’ve had lots of different compressors over the past 40 years emglow were my go to twin tanks for the small ones and the wheelbarrow types. Ironically I run a dewalt in the shop that was a gift, the guy said “ hey you want this thing it’s just in my way “ , it was almost new .

Most of the older guys I used to work for ran emglo's. I would bet some of them still are. I never have seen one die. The only down side was they didnt like to start below freezing.
I was pretty disappointed the last few times I have shopped for compressors. I bought a large Bellaire, 19amps. I was tired of the inconsistency of spraying texture with my smaller one. Although they are made in America they come with a chinese motor, and are just kinda cheesy, with cheap wheels, and a flimsy handle. I keep hearing good things about these California compressors on YouTube, they look nice anyway. I also looked at Thomas, they make a dual piston that sounded like it would cover all your basic needs in one unit, but would have to be ordered. Might be worth a wait next time. Though, I can already hear it "Honey, dont you already have one of those".

The university I work at goes though commercial compressors like they are gum drops. The zone I work in has 220 buildings and almost all of them have a very large 480v three phase units with two twin piston pumps . They have a life expectancy and when that day comes, we put a new unit in and throw the old one in the trash. It seems like such a waste but we can’t have them going off line and possibly destroying valuable research. In fact we a warehouse full of new units of sizes and even some giant portable units.
