Shit, last summer I sprayed most of my house after a spur of the moment decision. I never used a sprayer before, but most certainly did not butcher the trim like that. Holy ugly job.

Mind you,...

Thanks Freeheel!

I had one of those for years and it was great for a while. It was a tank of a disposal. We went through a few of the caps, as the magnets eventually wear through the plastic and fall out. ...

We put a cork floor in the kitchen 1.5 years ago and are thrilled with it. If you can get 90% of the dips out the floating floors do a good job masking the rest.

Those window weights make good kayak fishing anchors. They do the job and dont get hung up. My dad used them and made them for lots of guys.

Just go into this knowing the dingo or skid steer will year up your lawn. I'd go with the dingo as it will likely do less damage and is more than capable.

I would rather paint it first, then cut and install it and touch up where needed after installation. I hate painting on my knees.
