Thursday

Once again, We had the roofing crew in Blue Lake plugging away at the roof there. Me and Sam were back in Spring Lake today. The new tile floor in the mudroom and bathroom is installed and grouted. We also got started installing the new kitchen cabinets. We'll be back tomorrow to hopefully get the rest of the kitchen installed! The roof crew will be back at it trying to beat the rain coming.

Wednesday

We had one crew back out at The Blue Lake roof job installing some more of the roof. It is a pretty big roof so it taking some time to install. It was in major need of repair. We are having to replace some of the roof decking because the existing eaves are completely rotted out. Myself and Sam headed back to Spring Lake to get the tile flooring installed. We'll be back there tomorrow to grout it and start on installing the new kitchen cabinets. Things are really starting to come together on that one! It won't be long for the finished product!

Tuesday

We moved over to Blue Lake Township to start another roof today and made some good process. The weather has been pretty cooperative for roofing! We will have a crew on this one for the rest of the week. Meanwhile, myself and another guy will be heading to Spring Lake to install the tile and cabinets for that project as that one is nearing the end.

Monday

We spent this past weekend roofing! It was time to get a new roof on my own house, overdue actually. The whole crew was over on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and today. Not only did we put a new roof on, we built the whole roof up with 1 1/2" insulation board and extended the eaves to 16". Why they built houses with no eaves in Michigan is beyond me. We'll be finishingup tomorrow morning and then heading back to Spring Lake to finish up the big remodel.

Wednesday

Well, we were supposed to start and roof today in Blue Lake Township but the icing we got last night made it near impossible. Instead we gutted the kitchen at the same house. We are going to be doing a pretty high end and extensive kitchen remodel in this one. It will entail moving a wall and some window and door openings too. The Spring Lake remodel is also coming right along. The second coat of polyurethane is going on the new hardwood floors tonight and the new kitchen cabinets arrived today. We will be installing them as well as the new tile next week.

Tuesday

We finished up some odds and ends at Northway Lanes this morning. Wa have a few more loose ends to tie up on the steel roof but the weather was not very cooperative for such a project. We headed up to North Muskegon in the afternoon to install a garage door opener. We'll have to wait and see what the weather does tomorrow! Hopefully this  freezing rain moves out quickly.

Monday

Worked on the outdoor smoking area at Northway Bowling Lanes today. We got the opening cut in the old block wall for the new door accessing the outdoor area installed. The owners also decided that they wanted to enclose the side a little more so we got that all framed up. Just waiting for the rest of the steel to come in and we can wrap this one up. I was also informed that the new kitchen cabinets for the Spring Lake remodel will be in this week. We will also be starting and large roof and kitchen remodel in Blue Lake township this week.

Thursday

We have been up in Fremont for the past two days while we've been waiting for the the materials to show up to finish up the smoking room at Northway Lanes. In Fremont we tore down and installed new rafters on a 24' x 18' of a house that have some major leaking problems. We were able to tear it off, install the new rafter system and re roof it all in two days. We also installed new vented eaves to try to prevent future problems. If the weather holds out we wiil be installing the steel roofing at Northway Lanes tomorrow.

Tuesday

We were back at the remodel in Spring Lake this morning. We re installed the siding on the back of the house were we moved a window and changed the size of another. We also had to relocate a dryer vent. There is a custome tile showe  being installed in the new bathroom area, so we finished up all of the prep work for that. From there we went back to Northway Bowling Lanes to cut the door opening in the block wall for the new entrance to the smoking area. The door will be installed tomorrow morning.

Monday

The framing is complete for the smoking area at Northway Lanes. We are just waiting for the steel roofing to come in later this week and we can finish that one up. Tomorrow we will cut the hole for the new door to enter the smoking area. We also checked in on the remodel project in Spring Lake. The drywall is all finished and primed. The paint has started going on and the hradwood flooring started going in today as well. We installed a new window for the new kitchen area and removed all of the old flooring. Its starting to look like a house again!

Thursday

We finished up the block half walls today for the smoking area at Northway Lanes today. We also got some prep work done for the roof system. Tomorrow we will be constructing the roof and from there its the steel roofing and its a wrap!

Wednesday

We got rained/snowed out at Northway Lanes today. We headed back up to Twin Lake today to install three new toilets, a faucet, and a utility tub. This was a foreclosure that was a mess and we are getting it back up and running. We will also be building a new deck there. If the weather cooperates, we will be finishing up the block back at the bowling ally tomorrow. The materials for the roof system are also being delivered tomorrow.

Tuesday

We installed about 90% of the block half walls for the outdoor smoking area at Northway Bowling Lanes. We have to finish up the last row and install the wall cap. We should be building the roof system for it on Thursday. From there we will be waiting for the steel roofing to come in and then we can finish up! We will also be back on the Spring Lake remodel by the end of the week to begin preping for the ceramic tile.

Monday

We were back at Northway Bowling Lanes today and we got the footings inspected and approved. We got the concrete pad poured and tomorrow we will be installing the block half wall for the outdoor smoking area. Once that is done then we can build the rood system over it.
The drywall finishers are still making progress on the remodel in Spring Lake. We should be back there next week to start installing some of the new tile.

Friday

We headed up to Twin Lake today to install a new tub and tub surround unit. We also put in a couple new faucets. The weather wasn't to nice out so I was a good day to tackle a smaller project of this nature. We should be pouring the concrete for the outdoor smoking area at Northway Bowling Lanes of Monday if the weather forcast stays the same.

Thursday

We started digging the footings for the outdoor smoking area at Northway Bowling Lanes today. We also got the forms all in and it is ready for concrete. It will be getting inspected on Monday morning and we should be pouring the cement after the inspection if the weather cooperates. The drywall finishers got started today on the Spring Lake remodel project. They should have their part done by mid week next week.

Wednesday

The finishers will be starting to finish the drywall at the Spring Lake remodel tomorrow morning. That should be finished by the end of next week. Meanwhile, this afternoon we started the out door smoking area at Northway Lanes. Tomorrow we will be preparing the footings and getting ready to pour the concrete for the project.

Tuesday

The new drywall is all hung for the Spring Lake remodel. The guys from LM Homeworkings will be there on Thursday to begin finishing it. Its going to have smooth walls and a "crowsfoot" or "stomp" textured ceiling. We also got started on putting together the floor pan for the custom tile shower enclosure. The walls will be going in there tomorrow too. While we are waiting for the drywall to be finished we will be at Northway Bowling Lanes installing a covered smoking area attahed to the building.
