I woke up expecting a rain day at home, luckily Grant had a plan.
He fabbed up standing seam pans for a range hood install for us.
We rocked it out fairly quick, in other words everything fit the first time!
I don’t get much inside work anymore, and at a est. 8 million dollar home, it sure was nice. Problem is, now my wife wants the exact same thing.
Have a looksee.

Not doing anything new, either my Irfanview is corrupted or prospero is having hiccups...the upload is taking way too long compared to a week or so ago, and the file is larger than before and the pic quality sucks,,,,I gotta investigate the problem.
Anyway, there it is.

Looks great. Thanks for the pics.
Your courthouse job turned out good, too, I take it.
You must be living right?
Corporate business today measures everything by the size of the silver dollar.
Mighty fine. I don't care much for the rest of the kitchen, but that hood sure is nice.In the second picture I can see where two of those "beams" come together in a butt joint. Made me laugh.zak

Well, the place is only worth 7.5M now. Good eye.
Nice work. Curious as to how much the homeowner was invoiced. Being that I am a homeowner, it good to know who much things like that would cost to have done for me. Email me, please. :)
I can't help ya with that. I do know that 2 men were onsite for about 5 hours, and the fab time for Grant must be accounted for, not to mention the takeoff, customer contact, and materials.
With copper@ 4.00 or so a lb. it can add up right quick.
IF I were to take on a job like that, I guess I'd be right about 3ooo.oo, but I sub, I don't mess with Grant's customers that way, nor do I know how he charges..
As Dale and I like to quote from a Richard Pryor movie.."I just drive the bus.., I don' fix the bus, I don't own the bus..I just drive the bus."
Our main concern is the we keep both him and the customer happy, and we never have to go back and fix anything that we did.
So, how many ya want?

The customer was the general contractor, not the homeowner. I figured the install about right, but I was a little light on my fab time. I was watching the NCAA tournament while I was bending, so that slowed me down considerably, I'm sure. Sphere's high on his estimate. He'd never get the job at those kind of prices.Birth, school, work, death.....................

"He'd never get the job at those kind of prices"
LOL..thats why I work for YOU...you da man.
BTW, them guys run a tight ship, of all the contractors we work with, I'd say they are right up there at the top as far as professionalism...A&D is a close second.
Ahhh Appprecheeate the honor of working on some of those jobs.
Looks like I have a phone in my ear all day. Mom is worse than 30 mins ago.

Yowsa - they oughta be happy with that.

I've invested quite a bit of food and beer on love handles - does that count?

LOL, no that don't count in this instance.
We didn't hear any complaints from the Int. Design chick, and if you saw her, you'd be losing them love handles right quick, I am still stammering. Yowza!

What are they doing with that structure under your work, which is really nice.
How much of this home is timbered?
That is actually stuccoed,,dont ask me why they'd want to try to clean the grease offa that. Viking 6 burner is below that.
The whole house has decorative 10x10 beams, I doubt they are really structural, being as there are no real posts visible.
I'd call the style Medeterrainian or Frech Provecial? Cool place all in all, lotsa curves and excellent trim work, stairs with wrought balustrade etc.

I work in kitchens like that all the time ...
they don't actually get dirty ... or used.
and if they do ...
the HO's ain't doing the cleaning!
some cleaning lady got a trick up her sleeve as we speak ...
might just be elbow grease?

I can dig that, but stucco? I /we had a commercially inspected kitchen when I processed peppers and sauce...in NC as long as no meat was involved, the insp. was Dept. of Ag. If ya had any meat, it was Board of Health..
I know it is a strecth to impose regs on a 'kitchen' but still, I question the logic concerning cleaning and such.
IMO, that whole thing shoulda been wrapped in Copper or SS.

>they don't actually get dirty ... or used.
My dad was working for several years doing hi end kitchen design in DC (75-250k kitchens). There was one job where they had a monstrous cook top requiring an equally monstrous vent and vent ducting. Getting the duct ran was a major feat. The HO commented, does it really matter its not like we're going to use it anyway.
Not uncommon.

That hood looks really sharp, but I have to wonder if that might turn into a high maint. hood. With a regular steel one, you have to clean it every so often...which I would think would tend to clean the patina off the copper...so then you'd wind up with a shiney spot or you'd be forced to shine the whole thing.
I don't know, maybe I'm just waiting too long before I wipe down the hood :)

Caution: getting scientific here..
I THINK that some cleaners may remove the grease, and not make a shiney spot..this I deduce from once using Greased Lightning on a table finished with shellac...it ate it. So, my scientific mind tells me there MUST be the opposite combinations of alk/acid cleaners that MAY enhance the process of patination...while removing unwanted stuff.
But hey, whadda I know? Iam a woodworker turned roofer, turned copper worker, turned trying to get toolking to answer the phone to place an order cause the website password is all screwy..turned trying to get a 14.4V mak. impact/with drill and flashlite,case,chargerand 2 batts for 159.00!!!!

nice work, Duane -
are they gonna try and keep it shiny?
We were told that 'tool marks' were not only OK, but encouraged. The sinks are hammered copper from Mexico, very well made and distressed. So I'd venture that they plan on some 'instant patina' treatment like the samples I saw floating around the kitchen.

Nice work......I've seen those hammered copper sinks here......They are gorgeous....I can't imagine the cost for a kitchen sink.......
The title of this thread "Roofers on the range (hood)" just keeps putting a mental image of the masked ranger and tonto sitting atop a McMansion roof on horses. Hooded rangers on the roof. Yeah, hitting the alkyhol already, long day...
Tonto asks LoneRanger:
"Paleface, why we up here?"
LoneRanger turning to Tonto:
"Don't know. Guess we're waiting for Beckman."

For some reason, that's hilarious!
