What home improvement work did you do today?

So it's a big stick on sheet? that pretty cool. Or do you spray the stuff on and then cover it with the sheet?

 

It’s made by Dumond, it’s like a white paste you put about a 16th to 1/8 of an inch thick with a roller then you put that sheet over it to slow the drying process, then around 24 hours later you pull it off, a lot of times it comes off with the sheet or with a putty knife,
More than likely there’s lead in this paint and I was figuring a way out to remove it without getting it airborne and this was the recommended way

 

That is really cool. And the natural wood looks amazing. One hell of a project.

 

Re-coating my teak tops..

 

The ceiling was a whole other project in itself, we took down some cherry trees in the backyard, had them cut, milled and kiln dried and this is what we came up with for the ceiling, it’s a tongue and groove system with beveled edges, I had a master carpenter help me with this

 

You might want to paint the A/C vent can with some flat back before you put the grill on. You wont regret it.

 

Really dig those farmer sinks.

 

Built and installed range hood for the first time yesterday. Had to be built to spec for their current hood. Skinned with 1/4” drywall.

 

How do you put the sheet rock over the curves?

 

I switched out a few old fans with some Panasonic "remodel" fans recently and had really good luck with them.

 

I used 1/4” drywall, and let it soak for about an hour. It eventually sags enough to be pressed into it’s shape.

 

Dang!! I had a buddy who had a telescope half that size and we saw everything. I can’t imagine what that thing can do.

 

Oh I haven’t heard that method before. I know you can score the back paper at like 1” increments and then float some mud to smooth out the front once it’s laid.

looks great though. Nice job

 

Thanks!

 

My desert trailer got kicked out of the garage to make room for my wife’s new car. I had our contractor come over and move our fence 8 feet forward. It’s a tight fit, but it works!

 

Beautiful RX

And that gas meter and line will be gone soon so that "Snug fit" will be a 'Lil roomier

 

I guess it might qualify as a home improvement so here goes. I cleaned ALL my tile grout today using Clorox Gel Toilet Bowl cleaner and my new McCullough steamer. The job was actually manageable for the first time ever. Don't get me wrong it's still a PITA but not as bad as before.

 

Thanks…. The RX is nice!!!! The gas meter actually isn’t in the way. I back the trailer up to the fence and then wheel the trailer in by hand from there.

 

Sounds like a lawnmower. You can have a conversation standing next to it.

 

Finally took pix of these two " at work "

These are gifts from Con's parents and survived "Ian"

After a "Litle bit " of work and a wire brush... life has come back to them..

 

Nice job @snoope - those are awesome

 

Cleaning up a downed live oak

 

I moved the pile of stuff from one side of my garage to the other side.

 

Mowed the back lawn. Enjoying a cool one as I test the deck fire.

 

Great beer.
You guys are mowing on the Wet side already!?
I still have a little snow left, lol

 

Costco has toilet seats on sale so I replaced all four.

Sidenote: I really need to work on my aim when I get up to pee in the middle of the night.

 

If you don't lift the seat, she'll clean it up out of respect.

Just leave the seat up. I can’t quite grasp why leaving the seat up isn’t acceptable. Just put the seat in the position you need it. Why do I have to pre-position the seat for the next potential user? A mystery. Of course I don’t leave the seat up in my house, lest the hounds gain additional watering sources.
