Adding Vents

 Following a Home Inspection, it was found the underside of this house needed more ventilation (fresh air) to reduce moisture. 

Consider It Done Construction added the venting on the access panels and the vents above them allow air to move freely.

Gravel Under House

We had the gravel delivered as close to 'under the house' as we could. 

We had to wheel it way down the slope to here.
 
  
 6 mil black plastic works as a moisture/vapor barrier. 
 
  One of the least glamorous jobs we do, but necessary to reduce moisture under the house.

Gravel-Be-Gone!
We clean up after ourselves, it's part of every job.

Ceiling Hole too Large

 Whoops, the homeowner made the hole too big. 
Can't put a light fixture here until it's fixed. 

 The ceiling is plaster, so it took a little doing to support the repair.
 Drying. Getting better. 

Nice! 
Once the light is installed, it will look like the mistake never happened.

Exterior Trim Paint

 The masking was tedious. 

But, wow. Wasn't it worth it?

Dry Rot Around Toilet

The toilet was rocking, so we had to open up the floor to see what was going on. 


It was obvious someone else had tried to fix this in the past. 


 We made the repairs properly....


 And then re-sheeted the entire bathroom floor. 


 Next, we installed new vinyl flooring. 


And re-installed the toilet and new floor base. 

Problem: Solved

Sagging Beam

 The outermost beam of this carport was sagging. 

 View underneath. 

 As always, Consider It Done Construction started with the demo. You can see here, we've supported the structure temporarily, as we remove and replace the beam.


 Here's the new beam in place. 

After the new wood is painted, it won't be obvious the work was ever even needed.

Bathroom Countertop and Backsplash

 The customer wanted to upgrade this laminated countertop. 

They opted for a solid quartz countertop, and simple tile backsplash, Consider It Done did the carpentry work, and coordinated the installation of this entire project.
