Chuck, Are your vent flashings correct? I only ask because the down slope side of the flashings aren't exposed? I'm not a roofer.....

[Chuck Nukem]

So originally I had planned to do it this way. I am not a roofer either, but I have seen most done the way you show. The guy who I had that day did the first one by the method that we ended up going with. I thought it looked ok so we did them that way. I laid the pipe jacks so that if the shingles were cut away it would look like your picture. If I have a leak I will go straight to that...We got 2 inches on Friday and I did not have any problems....and that was with half the roof in tar paper.

So I looked it up and yeah....it was a mistake. I will cut the shingles away. Thanks for pointing that out!

Looks great, Chuck!

The kitchen is sealed and awaiting grout!
The hall is about 90% finished as well...

Progress Progress Merry Christmas!

My slate is supposed to be coming next week...on to tiling the little bedrooms and starting the first bathroom remodel.

Looks great! It just doesn't look like a Lotus! 

Glad you're making good progress. Hopefully you'll be able to get some work done on the Lotus in the not-to-distant future!

Looks great!
Tiling is pretty high up on my hated job list also...

Time for an update. I had a friend come down from CT to help me out for a week and frame a subfloor in the living room to unsink it. We also got the majority of the house painted and finished out the last of the drywall (save the master bath). Progress is rolling along! Time to start on the bath....

Looking good, Chuck! Hopefully you can finish soon and get to work on your car!

[Chuck Nukem]

Thanks Jim!! One of these days!!

Looks Great Chuck!
Good - and a lot - of work. No small undertaking.
I'm assuming you will be getting your contractor license now?

Anybody here have an opinion on polyurethane for flooring? I got my unfinished brazilian cherry in to put down. Right now I am leaning toward an oil base. I have heard water base wont yellow or darken as much, but that it doesn't hold up like oil base does. Personally I don't mind the darker look of the oil base.

I know nothing about flooring, but I thought polyurethane was the or one of the best finishes for floors.
