While I like that it has two speeds, the mechanism to change speeds and lock the tool feels pretty cheap and it’s in kind of an awkward position. T…

What about the oxidizing cleaners/sanitizers? Like Oxiclean as an example. Another way out there thing I could think of was UV radiation. No source of that is there? I know that some food handling areas using UV to sanitize.

To answer the originally question.
I prefer rustic. Beams, rough cedar everything square no curves. Very Ponderosa Ranch like. I agree the flat no trim look is much harder to achieve. Our drywall contractor charges about 20% more to give a dead flat smooth surface for paint or drywall. This is compared to a texture, orange peel, knock down etc.…[Read more]

Took a little while to work it all out. Decided to work it out nice rather than getting heated. Went through our lumber salesman at the same yard.(strange setup). He is going to take care of us on the deal. Reading through the lines he must have gotten the same song and dance as I had. Making templates this go around

Impossible to reframe the windows. The top goes up against a 8×12 beam that is part of the roof. They sit on top of a…[Read more]

I feel certain I will get the windows I need. There is another yard that sells the same windows and they have expressed interest in my business. They are going to get their shot. First thing will be this fiasco. BTW I haven’t paid for the…[Read more]

I would do the same thing…and if it were me, I still would. You paid them, they gave you something useless.

oh I am not finished yet.

Trapezoidal windows, what happened to square windows. That’s your problem

Hazard of a custom house drawn for a graphic designer. This is the same house with the massive timbers.

I was more upset by the attitude then by the fact they didn’t want to stand behind the windows. at the point I called I wasn’t really worried about whose fault it was or who was going to pay. I just knew I had six holes that need Windows and I didn’t have any windows to put in them and needed them as quick as possible.I had a problem and called…[Read more]

Three “feet” would be a great idea. Three attachment points make a solid base by definition. As far as cutting I can’t add much. Maybe grab a partner and a two person saw and go at like the lumberjacks used do. Some work but it might be fun too.

Where I had to spray right next to other painted surfaces I used 1 strip of 1/2″ tape and only needed about half of that width.

That and touching up marks on trim where the carpet was drug in. A couple of places I had to fill in door mortises and a few cat scratches. Faster than anything i had used before.

RonW wrote:How is the overspray with the airbrush?

If you pay attention to where you are pointing it the overspray is almost non-existent. If you wave it around like a kitten playing with string you can get it all over. I was using canned propellant which is chloro carbons. Between that and the lacquer fumes I got pretty lit up.

The brush I was using today had a .5mm needle. and a 1/3 oz cup. At 2 inches the spray patter is less than 1/2 inch.

I haven’t done LED’s but I did bunch of T8 to T12. It is really simple. I just pulled everything out and put in the new ballast and new sockets (turned out faster than reusing the old ones). After awhile I could do one in 15 minutes. I could have done it faster with an assistant to hand me things. I had to make 4 round trips on the ladder per…[Read more]
