What home improvement work did you do today?

Ok so I’m wanting to do something a bit different for baseboard/casing. I like the look of this picture they flow together seamlessly so that’s what I’m going for. The base will be 4.5” tall and the casing will be 3.25” tall so the miter cuts at the base of the doors would be like this.

Obviously they would be caulked but I’m hoping this will look good. Any thoughts?

 

hope you have a good saw… get a blade for finish work the more teeth the better. Make a few set up cuts and a jig so you can make precise cuts on the base pieces barely hit the tube of caulk with your knife… little goes a long way… good luck man I like the look though

 

Yes a finish blade will be a must. I still have to paint these too which I’m not looking forward to either.
Definitely a different look but I like it as does the wife.

 

Are you using base and casing of different thicknesses? That’s not going to work well or look seamless like your picture.

 

Nope. They are going to both be milled to 5/8”

 

I almost wonder if it would be easier to use two different pieces of trim to make the look you're going for? Use a nickel to get your spacing and attach it.
I have no experience with that. It's a cool look though. Good luck.

 

That’s a lot more work than the single pieces that these are. The slot doesn’t go all the way through.

 

Little mo'betta. Think i might double layer plastic which should last a season before making patterns for a heavy duty cover. Hail is rare, but present, and as set, i have all 6 legs within a ropes length of a heavy duty ground rock to anchor to.


didnt move the big rock yet.

plan to split the N and S sides, so the s sides can open when the weathers nice.

 

Trimco makes trim with the notch already there.

 

Thanks. I really don’t wanna do MDF of a height that tall though.

I found my local millworks place that is going to do the work

 

That was me. Still working great. Probably going to get my parent's one for christmas.

It doesnt have jets and a lounge chair like a real hottub tho...probably wont do a whole lot for you in that regard. But its great for friday night with the gf and a new spot to drink and eat snacks.

 

Finished walk in closet, just waiting on tops..

 

Cast iron storage. I left room for some expansion too and I want to put hooks on the underside of the shelf to hang accessories. Just need to paint the screw heads.

 

I really like that! It looks great!

 

Those are great pans.

 

I thought it was a bedroom I was thinking to myself...

"That's cool to have built in dressers! But where does the bed go?" Then I saw the hanging rods I think I need a beer and some relaxing time.

I forgot to say I like it! Looks good!

 

I want them! I love cast iron!

 

The bed lowers from the ceiling!

Cheers!

 

Thanks! I saw it in a youtube video a long time ago and stole the idea.

Damn straight, love me some Lodge iron. The big one on the bottom left is actually a Camp Chef and it's surprisingly taken a seasoning better than any of the Lodge.

 

When I finally get my land and build my forever home on it I just might steal the idea from you

 

Have 2 Lodge pans, they are the best.

 

Y'all need to stop.... I'm getting jealous!

I'm not going to lie I kind of try to get my family to buy me stuff like that for Christmas and my birthday but this year I really want a pressure canner

 

A pressure canner would be fantastic. I want an All American but they're big bucks here in Canuckistan.

Unfortunately you can't can in one of those

 

Oops

 

Thank you though! I do have one of those...or 2
