Over the summer we finished a deck project in Dundee. The home owner was an engineer which was great to have on hand if needed. Everything went well and the homeowners were happy to look out over the valley to capture the stunning views. Pro note, talk to the guys at Parr. We used the “rain-escape” system to help manage rain flow, with the added benefit of a 450 sq ft covered patio below. Also, when bidding, don’t forget composite decking needs sway bracing, especially when building on an elevation. #finehomebuilding #parrlumber #customhomes #customhomebuilder www.cabercarter.com (at Dundee, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDc-nRAuHd/?igshid=1vcki6msyrcm8

We finished the Historic Kenton Supply store. One of Portland's most illustrious historic buildings (previously the 8212 club) is brought back to life with the help of our friends at #sherwinwilliams #parrlumber and #mccoymillwork I'm so terribly proud of the project, especially since I could share part of it with my father who came in from out of town to help with the  custom hand built windows and doors. The historically accurate storefront provides a look into what the old "8212" club might have looked like during the "streetcar era". Thank you #cityofportland for your help with the historically accurate design ideas and great inspectors. Also thank you WDY engineering for being on point and on call. You guys are truly the best in the business. If you happen to take a drive into the North Portland Kenton neighborhood, you'll see the storefront off Denver Ave. Stop off at Specks and ask Michael about the best records in town or the team at Posies for excellent coffee and treats.

WHY IM EVANGELICAL ABOUT ZFLASHING AND NON-ORGANIC TRIM... It all started one dark and stormy night when the customer said, "would you mind looking at my windows, they look a little off." Which started the conversation... Why do you have brickmold on your windows, and further why isn't there any Z-flashing? Flash forward to taking off the trim to examine the previous "work"... "Oh there isn't any flashing around the window."... Then finding the rotted sheathing behind and it was all downhill from there. Ending story, we ended up tearing off the side of the house, and putting it back correctly simply because the person previously didn't put the windows in right. This is why in the northwest we refuse to use anything but PVC or other NON-ORGANIC materials for the house exterior and check the home's z flashing. NON-ORGANIC materials never rot, never warp, looks great, paints the same and is almost the same price. Can you guess who I got the idea from? Mr Carpenter himself Tom Silva @tomsilvatoh thank you Tom! We finished off the project with hydrowrap house wrap #hydrowrapped and Superpaint from Sherwin-Willians Thank you also to our friends at Parr lumber #parrlumber and Sherwin-Willians #sherwinwilliams for always being on the ball. We couldn't do it without you guys. #askacarpenter #keepingcraftalive #oregonhomebuilder #askthisoldhouse #thisoldhouse #vintagebuilders (at Multnomah Village, Portland West) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SM6wqBviw/?igshid=umd053ggyaij
