Custom Cuts

Bob always has a few tricks up his sleeve, but I found this particular install impressive. He’s helping put in the exterior siding to the area under the kitchen (where we will eventually store a lot of outdoor supplies, and our garbage bins).

In one of the openings, there’s a long length of pipe that’s a bit tricky to work around. It’s curved, and goes into the exterior wall at a bit of an angle.

Bob ended up measuring the distance from the edge to the pipe, at small increments (you can see some measurements written into the wall there).

Then, he cut using those measurements as a guide.

Quite the impressive fit! I was reminded of the day when I was helping him in Frankfort, and he had to fashion and install a custom, curved bit of duct. Not your typical install.
