Home Improvement Today?

Ooooh!

Can a computer chair with "rollerblade" casters roll easy on it and or will furniture sink into it?

 

Good question, I'm sure you could call them and they could answer that though or even point you to the best option.

 

I custom ordered some blinds from Home Depot on the 2nd, anyone know how to check their status online?

Figured there would be some more info in the email receipt but it's strictly a receipt.

I was told to expect them sometime this week just wanted to check for delays.

 

Our blinds were through Lowes and took 5 weeks! Crazy

 

Did you order through your user id? Or as a guest?

 

Try looking at playground matting or industrial anti-fatigue matting.

 

Lol this hits hard. I’m painting over a gloss gray from the previous owners of my house using Kilz 2. It goes on so thin, dries so incredibly fast, and makes me want to hurt things. The room we’re working on is 600 sq ft and I’ve used 3 gallons doing 2 coats.

 

They have cork board or those big jigsaw floormats

I believe I created an account at the time of purchase but now I'm not sure.

 

I replaced the contractor pack exhaust fan in the master bath today.



Here's the old one. No ground, no junction box, no exhaust piping. The whole thing was entirely covered by insulation (good!) but one piece was tightly butted against the exhaust outlet (bad!)



Had to enlarge the hole.



Fan installed.



Light installed.

I did hook up the ground and used the provided junction box. The new fan is a Panasonic WhisperSense DC. It has a fan timer, humidity sensor and motion sensor. I wasn't able to hook it all up with all the features because my power supply is all on the switch. Oh! And it has 3 fan speeds for different CFM: 80, 110 and 150. The nice thing is that it's 0.4 sonne at 150 CFM.

 

As I discovered these past few weeks doing a room I have found Paint to be a BOLD FACED LIAR!

It will tell you straight to your face you ain't using enough so you turn your back on it to go reload your roller turn around and find it's run!

WTF.

 

Took me a few seconds to realize that's a mirror and you don't have odd oval portal doors.

 

One thing I did want to ask ya'll about. Do ya'll electrical tape your wire nuts?

 

Been some time since I posted in here!
Bathroom gut, reno.

Started just before COVID and took nearly 2 years to finish.

My wife and I did everything ourselves.

BEFORE: not bad but shower was leaking and was impossible to was the dog.

THE PROCESS:

 

Nice! I can't believe the original plumbers cut the joists but didn't box it in properly.

Now you're thinking with portals!

 

I never have, even when I did some light electrical work in the industrial side of things, just strip the wire appropriately so there's no bare copper beyond the internal threads of the nut.

Seems like most nutted connections are becoming screw terminal connections now or whatever these are called:





Smaller stuff usually gets these:

 

Come do mine next.

 

I'd like to get some of the smaller ones, but today I just reused the winged nuts the nut before me used. Best part? There was a third wire nut, for the ground, laying there under the insulation.

 

I did use Kilz 2 on my dark grey semi-gloss walls. Took 3 coats, but I did a ton of sanding to knock down the gloss which I think helped.

 

I tape mine. But use the good 3M Super 33 tape. I know for a fact the Fastenal brand tape will not insulate 480V at 50A...
