Maybe step back another 20 feet and take a pic so we we can see better what you need to do.

We really need you to ask for the before photo, Danno. Please.

Could they not afford one more cabinet for the cutting boards?
And what did the ceiling lamp/fan look like before?
Why are the hanging cabinets not all black or all white?
Does the blue Rorschach...

It takes you back to a simpler time, right? The vintage trough has a long and proud history and serves as a gathering place after a couple beers and a good day skiing. Just gather round the tub, swap...

because you can't up with something better than a toilet grill all by yourself?

probably a Burner who builds art machines too, right?

If Lil' John was in interior decorator, he'd say:

To the window,
To the walls,
To the sweat drop down my balls.

Hope that helps.

My Mom's fridge broke early July, her new one got delivered a couple days ago. I bought her a mini fridge/freezer to tide her over. Not a good time to have your fridge break,

bright side is I now...

An electric question: so our disposal in the kitchen went out, along with a light near it. I couldn't find the breaker. We just let it be in the pandemic for awhile, until we had to deal with a...

I get the anti-Roundup. I only started using it last year, where my dogs and kids never/rarely go (mainly the out-of-control russian sage in the neighbors yard, ha). But I don't see how spraying...

IME mulch decomposes into dirt and weeds are born in 1-2 years And has to be replenished every 2-3 years. Rocks are better but weeds still grow through the expensive weed barrier in a few years. I’ve...

Sounds something I get in the morning after drinking too many PBRs, or bad food.

That does look bad. A couple months ago I found out the main water line at my work building was duct-taped to the city water line. It was losing a gallon every 2-3 seconds when it blew. Plumber said,...

Nice work bags!

Shouldn't this be a GC issue? GC should know it was done right and take care of it, right? You don't need to talk the sub, that's the GCs job.

Then again how contractors work makes no sense to me,...

There are TV mounts that slide TVs left and right and require no angling. So you could use the studs and shift the TV exactly where you want it.

Not sure if we are both talking about the same...

Light green calms people in mental institutions, you may need that soon. probably called something like 'heavenly Headcase' at Benjamin Moore

I did the same as ::: :::, rented from HD but it was round. So I couldn't get near the edges or corners of the room very well which sucked.

I didn't follow directions on applying coats of stain...

I didn't know contractors had in-house draftsmen, my contractor doesn't. And while we live in different states, maybe I should expect an engineer to take forever now, good to know. Thanks.

Thanks ::: :::, I hear ya. If a contractor has to deal with unknown setbacks, tree requirements, safety, building lighting, etc he's charging me for drafting time and research when I could be paying...

Thanks. And I do understand and value their services. I’ve learnt a lot from your posts in here. But just because I can only afford McDonalds this project doesn’t mean I don’t understand or value a...

On a commercial building I need to move the front door and then remove the tiny front garden (near the front door) in order to put in a parking spot, all to code. I hope to spend 15-20k on...

Because they wanted to get the fuck away from their kids arguing over what dumb TV show they wanted to watch in the living room and have some peace and quiet before they served their offspring...

Thanks, that's good to know when shopping around. Did you get ones that drill into the roof or clamp on like these: https://www.aceclamp.com/

I'm about to research snow guards for a metal roof, any quick tips or advice?

Remind her how fun it will be to have no stairs for a week or longer.

use a thinner, much better looking runner rug and paint everything white instead?

Thanks guys, that's good stuff. Another option may be getting a shower sweep like this and cutting it to about 1"Hx12" long...might be too ugly for the mom though.

Not a remodel question, but not worth it's own thread.

Below the shower guard is $25 + 10 shipping. Any ideas of what I can easily cut and make look like this for cheaper?

Needs to be...

mother fucker!!! oh well, learning a lot in this large remodel throughout the building. just one of many things done out of order....but many things have gone really well I guess.

thanks guys....

is that the pro trick to avoid throwing tools through drywall?



it's in the kitchen, so no I wouldn't put up a bunch of plywood, I wish though. is that what you mean? Or plywood behind the...

Because I'm a lazy, sloppy home improvement joe-schmoe. And also with anchors I could be done today, with toggles I'll be done Friday.

I'm drilling through metal studs to put up some heavy shelves with a lot of dishes on the shelves. I have no idea how much dishes weigh, but I'd guess the whole setup is maybe 50 pounds. Seems like...

Thanks!



I'm the same, even if it's not required I'd like my place to burn as slowly as possible, if it catches fire. And thanks, will call one...

Wall is something we just put up, separates two rooms internally. not an outside wall, no other occupants other than us.



Any idea why the drywall needs to be installed too? Jong-question but...

Just a dumb question i knew the answer of but didn't like it, ha. Drywallers come Saturday I hop, batts go up Friday.....

Any of you experts recommend wood walls in commercial building? I know the...

How unhealthy is having batts in the walls for weeks, waiting for drywall? Should I wait until the day before drywallers show up? Right now it would be great to put them up to have some sort of work...

Thanks! they are 98" but i'm taking yer advice

Does it matter what R13 batt I buy? Johns Manville, Owens Corning, etc? Cheaper to buy uncut rolls or really not worth some savings for my time to cut everything? I have maybe 25 batts i need to cut...

I’ve been rolling gallons of SPF 50 on my deck for years to protect it from the sun, it looks great.

I get paint in my hair, all over my clothes, face, arms, and then I track paint all over the wood floors after stepping in paint that's on the drop cloths.

Otherwise I'm a great painter.

OK, now I know why I’m coming across as a PITA customer. I have no clue how anything works in planning for a remodel, ha. Thanks for the education Foggy.

I also just googled “why hire an...

Of course, but do you agree it’s small potatoes and the good guys will pass it up?

Ha. How do you find/vet an architect for a small project like this that no one probably cares to do unless they are inexperienced?

Thinking 50k: as a completely uneducated client. Quickly learning how quick money can be spent. Might have to do some this year, save, do the rest next year.


Floor is concrete, sewer main is a...

I know, but that was a TOTAL joke, trying to keep things light here....

Foggy: Whoa, I should have said he has 'no time', not 'free time'. I expect him to charge me for every second he works with/for me. I do the same in my biz.

All that has happened with this...

Thanks guys, that's all a big help. I'm all excited on a new building purchase and am frustrated I can't Amazon 1-click everything to get a budget going. I have no clue what ANYTHING costs. I just...

So my contractor is too busy to organize shit in a timely manner, so I went to a couple window and garage stores to get quotes on 7 windows and a garage door. One was wholesale only, NorthwestDoors...

Thanks Beece and acinpdc for the lessons...
