Armstrong Contracting

Welcome to the city. We now have 2 turkeys! This thing has been around for 3 months now. Who wants one? Just in time for Thanksgiving. #armstrongbuilt #wildlifeinthecity #goawayturkey #youwouldmakeagooddinner

I think I need a bigger trailer? Exciting things are happening. Something has been in the works for awhile now for a personal project and I am now making time to get things going. More to come!... #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #renos #renovations #ygk #kingston

Well fall is definitely in the air out here. Just completing the last few details to get everything buttoned up. Doing some skirting which will eventually get composite deck boards to dress it up. The PT plywood keeps everything sealed up and the metal flashing protects the bottom of the plywood and allows for some soil to be pushed up to keep critters from digging under. #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #renos #renovations #cottagelife #cottagereno #ygk #kingston

Today marks a day when everything in my life turned upside down. Hard to believe that it has been 6 years already. This man was my idol and I looked up to him so much as he was such an amazing father and family man. I just hope I can be as good of a father as he was and hope he is proud. Love you dad.... 9/29/14

Final set of stairs for the deck complete. Unfortunately still waiting on my rail system which has been delayed due to covid issues. Cant wait to see this deck completed. #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #renos #decks #cottagelife #trex #ygk #kingston

If you don't own a laser level you don't know what you are missing. It makes even the most simple things easier. Didnt even have to pull a level out or any marks on the wall. Just a few pieces of tape and the laser. #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #dewalttough #ptbo @dewalt_ca

She is a beaut! Another happy customer. #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #concrete #ygk #kingston

Bring on the mud! #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #concrete #ygk #kingston

Well unfortunately lost these ash trees last year for the emerald ash bore. Cody with Stone Mills Tree Care did an awesome job took everything down with ease like a true pro. #armstrongbuilt #treecutting

Some progress pictures on the stairs! Made a system so you almost dont even have to think. Everything is templates and jigs to keep things consistent. Super happy with how they are turning out and should look as great as the deck they will be attached to! #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #renos #decks #cottagelife #cottagereno #ygk #kingston #trex @trexcompany

Brief and quick explanation for the build process on my stairs. I have 5 sets of stairs all having the same step at 7-1/16" the entire way which let's me spend more time on the first set making jigs and templates then barely pulling a tape measure out for the rest. Pics to follow! #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #decks #cottagelife #trex #stairs #ygk #kingston ... @trexcompany See more

Clean, simple, and complete! #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #tile #kitchen #ptbo

Nice little backsplash job to start the week! #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #tile #ptbo

Lower deck and first landing basically complete. Super happy with how it is all coming together. Just have to put the plugs in the border boards. #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #renos #decks #cottagelife #cottagereno #ygk #kingston

Well I have been wanting a tracksaw for over a year now and just been doing so much work lately that would be extremely beneficial to have one so thanks to @atlasmachinery to setting me up with the @festool TS75. This thing is everything I hoped. This thing will make me money just by better quality builds and quicker. Running a job site table saw by yourself to rip down sheet goods is very cumbersome by yourself. Will get the borders on the deck tomorrow. Got rained out today unfortunately. #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #festool

Decking is going down nicely. Will be installing a border around the whole thing and all landings. Scribed the deck boards running into the rock but left a 3/4" gap for water and debris to be able to run down without getting clogged. The landings run parallel to the house which is 16.75deg off from the bunkie but I decided to run all the deck boards parallel to the lower deck. And just for added detail, if you look directly from above, the landing boards run in line with... the deck below. It's all about the small details! #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #renos #decks #cottagelife #cottagereno #ygk #kingston #trex @trexcompany

This turkey has been around my property for the last month and chases cars and pecks at the wheels on the streets. Who wants a turkey? Tha ksgiving is coming soon! #armstrongbuilt #wildlife #citylife

Well ready to start laying the composite decking here! Everything wrapped in resisto. The composite will be scribed to the rock face. Also got the diagonal bracing on my landings complete made out of 4x4s for maximum strength and cleanliness! Loving how this one is coming together. ... #armstrongbuilt #carpentry #decks #cottagelife #cottagereno

I got lucky and she actually returned it for the video. Haha #armstrongbuilt #goldenretriever #goldens #goldensofinstagram
