A few may be interested and I’m sure Ian is looking for pics. I’ll start it out with the basics or the shot of this spec home under construction. One can’t see the property lines, but the builder shelled out $3.6 mill for a piece of a pie in this area with waterfront on the back side. This particular home has about 15 feet on either side to his neighbors and runs about about 350′ to the water.
I was unable to work on Saturdays as the clientel seemed to be back logged, and that seemed to be the safest and quitest day to show the house. I’ll add some photos of my project but if others are interested in the custom artwork within the house I have some good pics.

Oops.
You have to turn it upside right..

*Ken,I thought it was a house in Oz at first.I saw the pictures of the oval nosing (a close-up would have been nice)and couldn't help thinking how much easier it would have been if the builder had let you at it before the stair guys. You'll have to educate him!
*Thanks Joe:That was discussed several times Ian and he is aware of it now. If that was the case the 700 SF area would have taken me 3-4 days rather than 12. Closeups? Here's one with the router jig and how I had to secure the piece prior to cutting. A scrap was placed ahead of it and nailed to the subfloor.Oz? All the homes in this neighborhood are of the same. One has to build bigger than the previous to keep up with the Jonses. This one is small compared to two others nearby that are in the 30,000 sf range.
*Ooops Again!I'll get the hang of this eventually.
*Some hand painted work on the interior. This one better not come in upside down:(
*KenThe painting looks nice. But I am trying to figure out what that is in the center.Is it a some kind of shower head or a light fixture.
*Bill:It's upside down... Here it is....
*Ian:I wish I could have taken better pics of the layout but I'd have to bring in a 20' scaffold. Here's one.
*And another. The flooring also runs behind me, down a small hallway and into two closets.
*Some more hand painted artwork. Sorry I missed some pics of the women that were in the place for two weeks. It made the job more interesting and a delight to have some attractive ladies on the job.
*Ken, i am really enjoying the photos of the decorative painting. My own attempts are brutal compared to that, so i enjoy the inspiration. I know this is your stair thread, but more painting shots, s'il vous plait!
*Ken, Splinter,I'm enjoying all of it as well. You'll take some shots of the finished floor for your portfolio?
*Well Guys:Yea, I'll get down there the next few weeks to get some pics of the finished product and some more art work. Unfortunately that's all I have on the art, but the artists had to paint this large medallian which is centered in the foyer area.
*Did they HAVE to put that bloody red box there?
*Ian,

*Yeah, that's much better!You'd think, though, they'd consider the aesthetics before choosing the site for whatever it was.
*Before i read your post, Ian, i was thinking the same thing. Maybe the painters will take care of that fire alarm or whtever it was...
*I didn't even notice it, but it's likely a smoke detector with a temporary plastic "cap" on it to keep from setting off the alarms. Fine dust can acitivate those things. Of the times I've done work in some new highrises in the area one can get fined if you set one off. The fines aren't cheap either.
*Hi Guys:Now that the site is back on line I'll add some more pics once my puter stops burping. The remainder deals with some rather huge cuts along the oval which actually required a five foot lineal router cut. Naturally, several pieces were tossed aside to get it right. The balance of the job or the completion has to deal with tying in the two intersecting areas. Lining up the final connection area was my biggest concern and I found it necessary to do it in an area that has the shortest distance from wall to nosing. It's actually a doorway area that will be unseen for the most part, but a less travelled area.It worked great and the first time I ever saw the same floor with tongue and tongue facing one another!
