At one point I was trying to find the epoxy that coats the concourse at Nats Park. For no other reason than it would be cool. I don’t believe I was successful though, and didn’t end up coating my garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12th Commandment Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) New dishwasher installed. Saved a buck twenty on the install...and never you mind the chip in the formica which is going to result in new countertops. I needed them anyway. 😶 Edited March 17, 2021 by KAOSkins 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Just discovered this thread and the last few pages have made me feel less awful about my general ineptitude on DIY projects. Maybe there's hope even for me. The occasional victories make up for all the frustration. Keep plugging away folks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of took the whole extension cord thing literally but then I didn’t exactly go through the directions with a fine toothed comb either. 😬😬😬 is right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoshuaj Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Rental house but I couldn’t stand the vanity. Picked up what was a ratty cabinet at an auction for 20 bucks, bowl off eBay for 50 bucks. The faucet cost more than both. Had the shellac stuff left over from the bar remodel. ~$200 total and a cpl hours in it. Looks ok, we’ll see how it holds up. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Nice. One of the reasons I haven't been around this place that much,(that and too much temptation to ban..well,just about everybody ),is that I'm paying the price for my procrastination in the past. Though to be fair it's been damn busy otherwise on the work front. So I'm taking nearly every opportunity to finish a host of projects. We,(the wife and I),largely dejunked our side yard then redesigned our garden and outdoor living space. This meant moving the garden,(2 large 4x8 planters and several small ones),taking apart the roughed out outdoor kitchen spot and bar and starting over. So far built a small fence around the front yard that's built of wine barrel planters and redwood rails and changed a lot of the irrigation as a result. Built 2 small decks a couple teof weeks ago and about 2 months ago we built a small patio by the newly designed and built shade garden,(that one is going to be redone next Spring),and I've started to work on the outdoor bar area. I'm using a Quickrete walkmaker to make our own pavers,(which we did for the small garden patio),and got a good distance in a short time before the wildfire smoke started to chase us in. I'm tired of messing around with this **** so the N95 is going and I'm going to at least finish the pavers and such before the end of the month,(I hope). I'll be finishing the trim work and wainscot in the main hallway in the house along with final touch up on the tile floors as well as all that. Then it's time to have fun building stuff for the outdoor kitchen and bar. I'll get some pics tomorrow. Oh and btw,some really nice work being done by all of you. Well done.

zCommander Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) A simple but effective with lots of elbow grease. Put Clorox in a spray bottle and spray the grout. Use the vinyl bristle brush to clean the grout. Keep the windows open and use a fan. Fan facing up to circulate the air and not to dry the floor yet. Use that big yellow sponge to wipe after brushing as you go along. Once done I took my carpet cleaner and washed the floor with the rinse option. Once the floor was fully dried I sealed it with grout sealer. Poured the solution in a container and used a brush to apply the sealant. The kitchen floor I have is 20x16 so took me about 6 hours to finish with lots of breaks in the middle....lol The brush I used was similar to this: LINK Edited September 3, 2021 by zskins 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you're ready for the torque on your wrist when first starting to drill with one of those bits. It's a mofo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CousinsCowgirl84 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 And turn the speed and torque way down if you are cutting through steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Yea. They ain't cheap when getting in to the larger sizes, especially when adding in an arbor and such. And yep, the larger sizes especially will try to hurt you if you're a little of,(not straight). Not as bad as a Forstner bit, which will try to tear your shoulder off at times even with a clutch in the drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
