You have to use any leveling compound? That's what I need to do to finish up the last room.

 

You ended up buying a place? Belgrade?

 

Make sure you get some actual samples in hand to see before ordering. We looked at like 300 different samples at different stores and I didn’t see one where the online picture looked like the actual floor. Also if you have stairs look at the price for the bullnose stair parts. Even after the 10% price matching it was $750 in trim to do 2 stairwells. We went with Shaw Pantheon HD Plus. I should pick it up Monday, so I will let you know how it goes in a few weeks.

I would love to use some leveling compound. But I am blessed with some wonderful 1970 particle board subfloors. Not OSB, legit particle board which doesn’t get along with moisture. So I didn’t think the leveling compound would play nicely. I’ve had to pull some and just replace with plywood, other dips I plan to add thin plywood on top and sand down to be level. The particle board is such a pain, and I would pull it and just replace with plywood. But it’s actually in pretty good shape.

 

Yep, in South Carolina I am not rich enough for Belgrade. We are looking into buying some land out west somewhere, just don’t know where.

 

WTF!?!? When, why, so many questions.

 

I just bought a condo in Aurora. Basically a brand new renovation.

 

Congratulations

 

Thanks man. I'm excited!

 

Who has an angle grinder or giant bolt cutters that can cut a braided steel cable ~1/2"? I went to rotate my tires tonight and ... looks like I am locked away from my spare due to some mag chloride getting into the lock core. I just need to swing by and use it for ... 5 min(?)

 

Got either/both

 

Bolt cutter is probably going to be easiest. Where are you located?

 

I have both and you’re welcome to stop by, Jason.

 

Thanks, I'll keep you as a backup. I'm planning on swinging by @teamhypoxia 's place later this afternoon.

 

About to go meet the inspector guy at the property. I haven’t owned a home in six years so I’m ready to stop this renting BS.

 

What time will the shenanigans be happening?

 

Not sure, are you bringing beer and a camper for when dirt gets into my eyes while laying under the truck?

 

I have a one beer limit, so it's not going to help you guys.

Eric, you know we all expect to see pictures of Jason wearing his truck as a hat.
