Level quick in action. Sorry I didn’t add any cool colors to the mix as it’s getting covered by “life proof “ laminate flooring. Nothing glamorous like in floor heat and tile. Old garage slab leveled to an acceptable surface for laminate flooring. We use level quick all the time, it ain’t rocket science. Cheers

Doesn't come close to everyone else's craftsmanship, but I needed to cover a patch of dirt as I remove water intensive lawn.

Remember a while back, I was bitching abour barn doors? Ok, I like barn doors again. Double pockets with a transom, sandwiched between double walls to allow for electrical switches and outlets in both rooms with wall cabinets on one side, I may not like so much.
It'll look amazing all painted out with the divided lights installed in the transom.
Our primadonna Soapstone crew just dropped off the wall caps and shelves, rough-cut and left without installing or saying a word. The tile guy on the job finished them off and installed them without a complaint. What is it with some slab companies? Love the tile guys!

Looks great Contractor. How thick did you build out the walls? We've been always using LVL studs for our pocket door framing as they stay nice and straight instead of copping an attitude like dimensional lumber. We Also try and get the guy trimming them out to also do the framing of them or at least hang the track....no one to blame but himself.
I like the soap stone look but many of our clients get tired of " maintaining " it.
Our tile guys we use on our jobs are awesome too. Cheers

A main 4x wall with headers, pc's and king post for the ridge then a gap in the middle just wide enough for the hardware and doors and then a 2.5" wall on the other side to accommodate switches.
LVL or OSL studs are a good idea!

Sawing the back off the junction box is “hack “ and will not meet code. You can get shallow boxes but you can’t fit much in them.

Good dimmers won't fit and if one unused knock-out is missing without a wire our inspector fails us. Lot's of house fires are caused by uncontained sparks.

Not sure this guys jobs are getting inspected. Might as well use low voltage rings or better yet just cut the drywall just big enough to fit the switch and just screw it to the drywall with some really long screws all savage like :)

I have a wood floor only devoted business. Old school sand and finish solid wood flooring is the specialty. I also do anything regarding wood floor systems. Done some very famous peeps houses etc.. Learned historic aspects in Philadelphia area, moved to JAckson Wyo and we know about the $$$$ there.
So this is a wood floor product have been working with the mill to get off the ground. Amazing stock they get. White oak very long length. Not quartersawn but close ! Really glad to have this arrow in my quiver. On 3rd project with this floor . Basic , but one of the nicest floors. Done inlays etc....but I'm a sucker for simple elegant …….
