Home Improvement Today?

Also, floors



Don’t tell but I actually don’t like the colors at all really. Looks super fake. But I also DGAF big time. Function over form for me.

 

On to the next install:

 

The last project I might have gotten some of the hardware mixed up....

This one is knurled finish, the others are smooth.

Cleaner sent me this pic asking if the center bottom one was supposed to be different.....

 

Panel gaps to make Rolls Royce jealous!

 

you can be 3" off centre with the vent connection IIRC , are you more than that ?

 

Maybe just about 3. Could be 3.5. I could measure it. But it holds for now.

looks like almost 5 actually. Hard to get a tape on it while it’s connected. Dryer is 29” wide and vent seems centered, wall vent is 11.5” from the wall. So 14.5-11.5 is 3” but there is also about an inch to the wall so the door can open clean.



I really want to just ditch this closet but I got the veto on that plan.

 

You could say that it's a bit muggy in your living room.

I like that jig for drilling handle holes. I measure 5 times and drill once. Only to still get it wrong.

 

There’s really only room for a piece of cove — it’s actually under there now you just can’t see it. The gap on the left is small enough to take caulk just fine I think. I’ll tape the desk and make a clean line of caulk and cut-in the dark paint over it. On the right side under the window I don’t care much — you can’t see it and I can barely fit a paint brush through there lol.

Dark colors have been the vibe for a while. Our living areas are light. Offices are dark. We understand not everyone that enters our house wants to feel our moody vibe, so we kept it to the offices.

Yeah she looks good!… from a distance

Get out of here, dad.

 

Haha! Been down that road before.

This thing was a little spendy but the time saved has paid for itself many times over:

You can get a cheaper brand but they tend to not hold their zero very well.

 

Chestnut?

 

ahhh ok. makes sense. i mean you can plant a cleaner tree. just sayin but whatever makes the lady happy

 

Looks more like a sweet gum.

 

Buckeye/horsechesnut, chestnut and sweetgum all have those spiny round pods.

 

wow those are wild

 

I had tennants in my condo for the past year got about 20k in rent and cost me close to 15k just to fix all the damages they did all new laminate floors trim paint some fixtures. What a nightmare cat piss running down the walls could not get the smell out also had to buy a new washer and dryer. God I hate some people.

 

I've been in your shoes, some people really suck. You're the landlord, you're rich, you can fix this...UGH!

 

damn sorry to hear that. people suck

 

My girl wanted to rent out her condo when we built our house. I told her not a good idea. She sold it pretty quick. for us it didnt make sense since our house was 2hrs away from the condo. Didnt feel like dealing with stupid people
