Creative Ideas Carpentry

Here is some of the repairs we made to the trusses and over all roof framing. Since the roof was already completed we had to do everything from the underside. What looks like a mess of wood is new rafters back framed in and valley work. There were either none in place or only 2x4 stud grade material. 2x4's are not to be used for rafters unless it is in a truss configuration from a manufacturer. I've been doing this a long time, worked on numerous projects; I was amazed at how this was.

Here LVL was installed to carry the load properly over the pocket doors. The existing headers were under sized or nonexistent. We also installed the pocket doors. Photos are property of Creative Ideas Carpentry By Brian Tenney.

An up close look at how the LVL header was installed as well as how the electrical wiring should be run. The red Fire Caulking was also done throughout. According to code this must be done when wiring passes through the plates. It stops drafting. Photos are property of Creative Ideas Carpentry By Brian Tenney.

Here the bedroom walls were opened up. We corrected the framing, electrical and installed the insulation properly. Photos are property of Creative Ideas Carpentry By Brian Tenney.

The Great Room just about completed. As you can see the custom built all oak in wall cabinet has been installed. The T. V. wall is ready to go, the wall sconces make a nice touch. Photos are property of Creative Ideas Carpentry By Brian Tenney.

The Great Room wet bar area completed. Above the cabinets is a ledger board finished off and painted the same color as the ceiling to help it blend in. During the repairs to the frame it was found that the heel of the truss was not sitting on the plate properly. In order to correct this a ledger was installed. A ledger was installed on the other wall to balance out the room so it looks like it was the game plan all along. Photos are property of Creative Ideas Carpentry By Brian Tenney.

The Common Access Area finished. We installed crown molding and completed all the trim to include 5 1/4" base molding. Photos are property of Creative Ideas Carpentry By Brian Tenney.
