They arent that bad. and its easy access to cleanout.

 

our doesnt throw out that much lint in the dryer duct.

 

They’re okay as long as they’re clean. Problem is most don’t clean them, so I prefer flappers.

I think in Jake’s case he probably has a duct with a low point that’s acting like a P trap and filling full of water. That lint looks WET.

 

True...True

Got me with that one. I had to look up a trap guard, it looks like a good idea. I've just never seen one before. Thanks for the info.
We do have to run back water preventors on our sewer lines. I have one about 6 feet from the Furnace/AC condensate drop on the above ground 2" line and then another back water preventor about 12 feet away on the 3" below ground sewer line. Anyway I don't think I will have a problem but will look into some type of p-trap guard if I do.

Butcher block or a cheapo laminate countertop at HD.

 

Take a heavy piece of 3/4 subfloor and screw some 1/4 hardboard to the top. Cut it to whatever size you want. You can replace the hardboard if it gets destroyed

 

You use screws just like a kitchen countertop. Simple drywall screws will secure it down.

 

I like to use solid core smooth doors cut down to fit. Not as readily accessible for most people though, but I am a superintendent so I can high grade stuff we pull out for shit like that.
Secondary I would put down 2 layers of ply wood with a third layer using cast in place form plywood for a smooth top. PL 500 between the layers and screwed together. Then attach the 3 layer by screwing from the bottom so you dont have screws fucking up your projects.
Just my $0.02.

 

find a used solid flat door and cut to fit...maybe an inch over the cabinet on the front and sides...

 

Build a bench put a roll around under it and the tool box on top. Hard board is a good surface. I have a solid core door for a huge work surface as Rob suggested. Put a towel over the detailing bottles or add a purpose built drawer on the bench.

 

Update kinda on my current project , trusses come beginning of next week so we're just finishing up some wall framing upstairs . I built this interior rake shearwall today , poured rain all day , tomorrow we'll sheet it and stand it and complete the rest of the interior walls

 

Looong week raising a frame out on long island.

We drove out Monday morning and got back around midnight last night. 12,000 bf of fresh sawn white oak so I'm pretty sore hahaha. But the weather was good, and everything went together without too much fuss so a good week all in all.
Nice view doesn't hurt either.

 

Mine came right up with a floor scraper (which I reccomend for ease). The tack strips were the crappy part.

You’d be suprized what the underlayment will hide when you lay it. So it doesn’t have to be perfect under the floor.

Maybe a disk grinder for the tough parts.


Tip: Wear a mask when you rip up the carpet

 

Does the plank flooring come with the underlayment attached under each peice? I know some of them do. You may be able to get a very thin basic underlayment to go under it and you’ll be fine. I’m wondering if there will be a moisture problem with laying plastic on concrete??

 

maybe heat the real stuck on stuff with a heat gun.

 

I’ve heard those things will murder a sawzall lol
I would try a few solvents plus the scraper

 

get your knee pads...

 

Mine came off with boiling water and a scraper, but it was 1980’s glue.
