We would have lost that little nook next to the fridge and she wanted it for her Keurig that she doesn't use.
I got to pick basically one thing in our house, and I swung for the 72 inch. She hates it, I love it.
Where’s the best spot to go to buy shit to make my cabinets work better? I’m looking to make my pots and pans cabinet easier to access. It is in my island, so it is a pretty deep cabinet.
Crowbardepot.com, they have a great selection of crowbars to take the doors off your cabinets and make them easier to access.
Lowes had the dewalt 779 compound double bevel miter saw on sale for 399 + a free gift which was the a free dewalt miter saw table (200$ retail). Already eyeballing my old crown molding.
Hey so calling/emailing company owners gets shit done. Trim on island has to be painted since floors went in so excuse the white trim.
Hope he's got somebody to come in and deep clean. 3 strangers in the house with no mask, moving appliances around? No thanks.
Instead of finishing up the fence (it's pretty much finished, just needs the middle boards hung), the FIL started working on the shed. Now it's snowy and cold, so the shed will get put on hold and he wants to redo some of the drywall he did in the bathroom. My house is going to be 100 projects started, none finished. I'm not handy enough to do stuff on my own.
I was thinking the same but I may hold off as the most recent charging cables have switched to a USB-C on that end of the cord. Leviton makes pretty good stuff, they have one with one of each right now. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton...esistant-Outlet-White-R02-T5633-0BW/303205383
Got appliances finished this morning. Fence should be done today. Built-ins are close. The main parts are in and he's building the cabinets for them off site. He finished the shiplap and whatever you call that wood treatment on walls last week. We did real wood garage doors, one double and one single, and they got delayed 2 months but they'll be in next Wednesday, supposedly. Apparently the pandemic even affected Amish wood craftsmen too. Right now they just have some vinyl temporary doors. We don't even have garage door openers so we just park in the driveway smh. The plan is to have them delivered on 12/14 and just stood up in the garage, then the stain guy will come out and stain them and the front door at the same time so they should match. He'll have a week to work on them and then the garage people are supposed to come back on 12/22 to install the doors. So maaaaaaaaaybe by Christmas we'll actually have a functioning house. That'd be nice.
Trying to work but from my office window you can see part of my neighbors yard. Tree roots grew into his sewage pipes and they're taking out the entire tree. It's a good size tree. You could tell he didn't want to do it this am as they kept looking at it but his entire front yard had to be ripped up. The whole fucking thing. I feel awful for the guy, they spend a lot of time in their yard. It looks amazing and idk how much money he's got in it.
Speaking of shiplap, I thought that stuff would be almost paper thin and just for looks but that shit was thicc. Way more to it than I expected. The guy that put it on the celling in the entry didn't seem to enjoy it. The guy that has to do the living room and dining room is going to hate me.
Ya, it's a bitch. I had a buddy talk me into helping him put some up on a wall that he had and it's not fun at all.
Yea it's thick and heavy. I expected to to be super thin and brittle but it's not at all. I'm fully ignorant on that stuff though. I'm just not a handyman. At all. Anything past a screwdriver and I'm out.
Yep and what I worked with had been reclaimed. It was old af and heavy as shit. Shiplap is cool though.
Speaking of my handyman ignorance, last week one of the appliance guys was like "Oh you just need to cut a hole here and fish this wire through and then connect it to this and make a new plug." I looked at him like he was an alien. Naaaaw dog. That's like someone wanting a rate on a mortgage and me handing them a rate sheet and telling them to figure it out. I'm not a brilliant guy but I'm smart enough to know that I know what I know and I don't know what I don't know.
This is true. I have picked up a ton of stuff on Youtube. I replaced a wire on my dryer about 6 months ago. I still get nervous every time it is turned on, though.
I had to run a grounding wire off of my hot water heater. I really have no idea what I did and how I did it. YouTube showed me how to do it.
