This project was an addition on an elderly lady's home. the doorway led to the garage, but we knocked out a portion of the wall where the large winder on the right (in the top left picture) and created an opening into her kitchen. It was just two of us on the project and went pretty slowly, but turned out fantastic. The end result was a sewing/laundry/painting room where the client could do whatever she liked. This room had new plumbing, electric, and HVAC ran into it by local subcontractors.
(Pictures taken in October 2021)
These two pictures (above) were from a time where I ran my own lawn care / landscaping crew. I was only about 14-16 years old while running this operation. I didn't have the foresight to take pictures of the very start of the project (before all the rock, trees, and shrubs were installed) but I did get some before and after of the sod install. This lawn looks very good as of 2022 and all of the features are holding up well.
These seven pictures (above and below) were at the same location. There was an old metal awning covering the concrete slab. We tore that out and installed a newer stronger roof. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of either the end result from the roof or the deck, but I do have the in-progress photos. The deck was a fun project too. We used hidden fasteners (I was skeptical at first but they're holding up well) and synthetic decking. The customer was very pleased with the end result.
These two photos were taken at Table in the Wilderness Ministries outside of Centennial Wyoming. I worked at this camp for 2 or 3 summers doing, well, doing what I was told to do. The building pictured is the well house. The basement provides all of the necessities to bring water to the whole camp. The upstairs WAS a 2 bedroom apartment, it is now a 4 bedroom 2 bath home for one of the full time staff members. The new basement serves as overflow housing for campers when the on site cabins are full. These pictures were taken at the very start of the remodel process as we removed the deck from the building. It is apparent to me that almost no safety standards were followed in this process, however, the camp is not bound by OSHA.
I bought this truck in June of 2021. It was totaled by the previous owner's wife a few weeks prior to my purchase. Through a lenthy process of digging through junkyards, searching for matching parts, sanding, sanding, and oh, sanding, my uncle and I were able to restore this truck to showroom condition. He is a professional body guy here in Casper, and was able to help point me in the right direction, prime, and paint the truck. This truck is my daily driver and is so much fun because it is something that I put together with my bare hands (and power tools).
Working at Huber Plumbing has taught me a lot. From big government projects, to replacing a kitchen faucet, I've learned a lot working here...
A sewer line that needed replacement. Two of us were put on this job and it was about as fun as it sounds. We replaced about 30ft of sewer line and around 25 feet of water line.
As part of a government funded contract, Huber Plumbing sub contracted out for Black Hills Energy to run all new gas line to around 300 houses in the span of about 3 months. This specific line (already in place) was illegal because the valve shown here is actually meant for a waterline, not a gas line.
This was a broken water main under a client's sidewalk. The city came out, dug it up, and determined that the leak was on the homeowner side. They filled it back in and notified the homeowner that they needed to call a licensed plumber to fix it. We did. Unfortunately, the homeowner decided not to wait to compact the area, or let the water dry off, and to pour his own concrete. It was cracked within a week.
A realtor called and set up an appointment to replace the main sewer stack in an unoccupied house. We bid the job to replace everything that showed signs of oxidation. The job took myself and one other plumber about 5 hours to complete. Unfortunately, I don't have the picture of the downstairs portion of the stack (which was the majority of the work).
A basement remodel that needed some new plumbing. On the left is the shower drain, and on the right side is the toilet flange.
This picture shows the new concrete poured over the new plumbing. This room is getting re-tiled on the floor. New supplies were also ran to this room, as well as the remodeled kitchen and laundry room (not pictured).
This, I thought was funny. My brother went to look at a house to potentially purchase. It was a homeowner remodel. Most of the new plumbing was illegal or not up to code. This is one of those instances. Any supplies (in or out) of a water heater cannot be in PEX for 18" after connecting to the unit. I also question the durability of these plastic PEX fittings. He didn't end up purchasing the house for other reasons but I thought it was cool that I was able to recognize a few codes that hadn't been followed in the remodel.
In high school, every year for 3 years my friends and I would do a camping trip at this undisclosed location. On the most recent trip (which was still a few years ago), I had the idea that we should rappel into the canyon instead of take the trail. It was totally worth it. We rappelled in, walked to the waterfalls, and jumped off of the cliffs and waterfall. This trip encouraged bonding, brotherhood, and fun all in one. I used to be certified to run a high ropes course and that put my friends' minds at ease while they put their lives in my hands. It is very humbling to have someone put that much faith and trust in you. I'll never forget these trips.
