What home improvement work did you do today?

I'm willing to be told I'm wrong but this is the door I'm looking at

 

I screwed a stirring stick to the tops of two doors so they'd stay up in pairs. Made setup and painting real easy. Took me longer to tape the cement than to paint the doors.

 

Cost of that sub is irrelevant as it’s also a great side table!

 

Maybe mine is turned down compared to yours? Mine has never walked.

 

I did a bunch of research today and ended up buying some subwoofer isolating feet. I should get them delivered later today. We'll see if it works.

 

try something like this:

$50 Sound Addicted VibeBoss P10 - Acoustic Isolation Platform Suitable for 8-10"es Subwoofers (13.7'' x 15.7'' x 2.5'')

I have an isolation platform on mine and hasn’t moved since the day it was installed. It’s an older svs cylinder sub that will literally rumble the foundation and pressurize the room. I am laid up with the stomach flu at the moment but I will get a picture of my platform when I make it out of bed

 

I'm going to make rubber bottoms for the coasters

 

Beautiful! Thank you

 

I've got a few of those around the yard. When I know I'm gonna be outside for a while, I snooze the alerts for certain cameras 30 minutes or a few hours.

 

SVS all the way for me. Dual subs

 

People who don't know just don't know - there is not a better performing home audio product on the market that can even touch them.....

here is a picture of the platform




And the sub (measures 32” tall)

 

Finally got this done. Thankfully I anticipated problems and bought a full rebuild set. The exposed PVC crushed under the cutter almost immediately. Thankfully no branches beat me to this.

 

100%

 

Need opinions. Can these walls be saved or is this a tear out, re-sheet, and then re-knockdown job? Cost isn’t an issue; it’s time. Previous owner must have put over 100 drywall anchors in here. Wonder if they ever heard of hitting a stud and using a support bracket?

 

If the wall is solid I would knock down the anchoring points with a ballpien hammer and 1/8" veneer skim coat.

I’m no expert, but I’d say fill, sand, then get the spray can of texture whatever and knock down, then paint

 

I was thinking that too. Time pretty critical here as I only have tonight, wed, and Thursday to get done whatever needs to be done. House will be tented tomorrow AM through Wednesday at noon

 

Are you hosting a circus? Sounds like fun!

 

What this guy said.
Patching will take a lot less time than trying to fully mud and texture new rock.

 

Pretty much! Wife is slamming appointments back to back to back - Tommy Emanski style. House gets tented tomorrow and then new carpet in on friday so trying to get everything done prior to carpet getting laid down

 

I recently had the same scenario. 2 old closet systems left 200 holes. I hit them all with the bottom handle of my mud knife and hit them with mud twice. Quick pole sanding and it came out perfect for a closet. I wouldn’t even bother with the sanding since yours has a knockdown finish.

 

Awesome! Great to hear. Thanks for the input.

 

Our dryer vents out to a covered side porch which is also my workout room. Bought a new washer & dryer set and now the room has been filling up with dryer lint. I don't know if the old dryer ate lint or was storing it up to burn down the house but that thing ran for eight years and I barely saw dust. This new one has been running for a few months and the shit is covering my workout equipment. And yes, I let it build up. I'd think about it while I was working out and then forget about it until the next time I worked out. I'm old.



So I bought a

$67 BetterVent Indoor Dryer Vent by ADR Products | No Water - No Mess | Save Energy while Enhancing Indoor Air Quality | For Electric Dryers | Made in the USA

Better Vent indoor vent from Amazon and hooked it up. Hopefully this solves my problem. Now I get to spend the next few days trying to get the lint off of everything...

 

so i'm guessing you'll have to change that filter alot?
does it build up in that elbow at the bottom where it turns up?
i've never seen something like this, so i'm not familiar with them

 

It's got a hatch that you can open up with a small screen and a filter.

There's also a hatch at the top that pops open when 80% of the air flow is blocked.


Basically, I'll go out once a day (before my workout) and clean the trapped lint. If the blue filter gets crazy, I can toss it or clean it.



You can buy replacements or pick up a few of those cheap furnace filters and cut your own.

As far as the elbow, it shouldn't be much different than having one behind the dryer. The total run is super short. I also used a

$13 Fosenlion Dryer Vent Wall Plate with Quick Connect & Disconnect, Twist Lock Dryer Vent Connector Kit, 4" Dryer Duct Connector Flange, for Wall Exhaust Vent, Ceiling or Warmhouse Air Circulation

twist lock connector so if it does start getting clogged, it won't be hard to clean it.

 

i was worried about air flow restriction and all if/when it gets clogged. good to know there's a trap door to alleviate it.
good deal. hope it works for y'all!

 

I hope so. I was originally going to reroute it but that was going to be a major construction project and I know better than to tackle that on my own. This seemed like the easiest and cheapest solution.
