Kerby and Company Progress: Stop! It's Not Hammertime

http://kerbyco.blogspot.com/2013/10/stop-its-not-hammertime.html

Monday, October 7, 2013. Because we can't work- or make our employees work- all the time, we schedule in breaks that are both relaxation and team-building. What better way to do both than attend the free "tour "of NOLA Brewery? It was also a farewell to Joe (bottom right), who is leaving us for St. Louis. But first, a team picture. We look so young! Where the magic happens. Left, dragons; right beer. So thank you, NOLA Brewery. Mark, Jackson, Jeff . Links to web sites we like. Blog from Villere Realty.

Kerby and Company Progress: April 2011

http://kerbyco.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 25, 2011. A reason to spray foam insulation. The attic and central air system on Jackson's current project. Note the old attic fan. A while back I dropped an ongoing discussion of various types of insulation - too complex and important a topic that I quickly discovered I have much more to learn about. Without plunging all the way back in, let me point out the above photo as a reason to use spray foam insulation. Monday, April 18, 2011. April 15, 2011. Friday, April 8, 2011. A couple more ph...

Kerby and Company Progress: Lessons from old-timers

http://kerbyco.blogspot.com/2013/10/lessons-from-old-timers.html

Sunday, October 13, 2013. Here's us trying to learn from our craftsmen ancestors:. Carpenters on really old houses didn’t bother with bridging, but we’ve noticed that by the end of the 1800s they were installing this type of X-shaped bridging, often using the same heart-of-pine as the finished floor. We’ve wondered for a while whether solid blocking or bridging is better, and why bridging is no longer done. Links to web sites we like. Blog from Villere Realty. Building Your Louisiana House.

Kerby and Company Progress: March 2011

http://kerbyco.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Three inches of rain, inch-round hail, several tornadoes, street flooding, and at least two cases of hiding under the bed that I know of. An opportunity for me to lecture all you homeowners who:. Have water seeping in under doors or around windows this morning. Have rivers or puddles underneath your house. Have not cleaned your gutters recently. Parked near a street drain. Habitually leave tools, crawfish pots, old leaves, or debris sitting around outside. So unless your house ...

Kerby and Company Progress: September 2013

http://kerbyco.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 24, 2013. Kerby and Co. has undergone a lot of wild and exciting developments during the past year. This blog is meant to help our friends, family, clients, coworkers and potential clients know us and our company as well as possible. Y'all are due more than a few quick updates. Today, personnel. Oh well. Not long after we lost Morris, it became obvious that Jackson and I weren't handling the slack. So we asked an acquaintance if she had any time or desire to help out. Most importantly,...

Kerby and Company Progress: The difference a few mils can make

http://kerbyco.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-difference-few-mils-can-make.html

Wednesday, April 17, 2013. The difference a few mils can make. Now, I am a fan of the reusable grocery sack, and countless other items that are just plain better made with something besides plastic. But in some cases, a sheet of plastic can't be beat. Below are two photos of concrete floors. The photos were both taken within a few minutes of each other, within a few yards of each other. Both are indoors, the left on in our shop, the right in the new apartment-in-progress. What's the difference?

Kerby and Company Progress: August 2011

http://kerbyco.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 29, 2011. The front foyer ceiling boasts the only surviving medallion. Three others have already fallen. We hope to eventually make replicas. A view from the back yard looking forward. We have work to do! Wednesday, August 24, 2011. A More Efficient Attic. The second drawback, from my point of view as a remodeler, is that spray-foam is far more difficult to work with than other types of insulation if a home needs an addition, or routine repairs.
