Home Improvement Today?

Ok, I'm revisiting the idea of using Schluter-Kerdi in the tub/shower surround because there was minimal damage to the existing drywall when I removed the cultured marble wall slabs. Only potential issue is the drywall in the whole house is textured, including the shower area. Is the texture going to be a problem? If I have to re-drywall that area than I will probably just install Densshield instead. Any insight @OZ-T or @joshua721 or anyone else? Thanks for the help so far.

 

I saw on the previous page talk about 18v tool brands. I may get shot over this but so far I have beaten the hell out of my Ridgid tools and they work like new. Wife got me a recip saw for my birthday and it is awesome! Along with the impact driver and drill. Thinking of adding a couple other tools and a job light to my arsenal

 

Scrape texture so no loose material and you should be fine

 

That!

And what biscuit joiner do you use mines dead and not worth repairing

 

My old DeWalt takes a licking and keeps on ticking but if it died I would get the Festool Domino

 

Dominio is my next big one. But I just need one for trim.

I did just pick up another project ipe outdoor table. Might have a justification for the dominio

 

I like my DeWalt but its probably 15 years old , not sure what the best model currently is

 

There all pretty similar priced. Looking at that and dewalts 15g 20v nailer

 

RIDGID all the way!!!!

I just bought the Gen5x Octane Sawzall last week. That thing is amazing. I was cutting through door headers like butter.

Also, the Gen5x 1/2” impact has some serious balls.

 

So most current deal of the century .

My tool guy is changing router bit brands he is carrying and had all the old brand bits up for sale in a bucket

I've done lots of "what would you rather sell than count" deals with him around their inventory time so I asked , "how much if I take them all ?"

He looked at me for a while , "for you , $200"

I said OK .



Just tallied up the retail price tags on them all .

$2347

Haha

Mostly 1/2" shank bits too

 

You bloody cockhole.

 

That's one heck of a deal. Congrats.

 

Omg. And how is this guy still in buisness

 

I also love my ridgid tools, and you can't beat the lifetime warranty

 

Granted, @OZ-T probably spends at least half a mil there annually. More of a frequent flyer perk, I'm guessing.

 

lets just say they haven't lost money on me haha

 

Im enclosing my screen porch with glass. This siding will be exposed on the house side , anyone have ideas what I could replace it with ? Im not wanting the siding to be there in a basically finished room . Im also not wanting drywall even though it will be a heated/cooled room .

 

Shows you the mark up involved.

 

Painted/stained shiplap?
