Home Improvement Today?

I feel like i would do an okay job with this. Also considering that most of this (90%) is going to be covered by cabinets and crown molding I have definitely been reconsidering just doing it. I’ll probably drywall the small uncovered wall in my garage as a first job though. That seems less stressful than doing it for the first time in the kitchen!

 

Yeah I can switch it. I knew that too, except the seems all show if it flip. But yeah, I will flip so that it is correct.
Thanks for noticing.

 

Curious to hear opinions on best way to trim these windows out. I was thinking black PVC exterior trim cut to fit. Measure and build a frame to size and then put that in place with caulk around the edges. A contractor friend suggested Aztec board instead of the PVC trim. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks!

 

I'd suggest Boral TruExterior Trim. It's a little more spendy than Azek and PVC trim but it's dimensionally stable so you don't get the expansion and contraction that you do with previously mentioned materials. It's made with polymers and coal byproducts.

 

Perfect, I’ll look into that. Appreciate the suggestion. Sounds like something that would work great.

 

I spent the day digging up the septic distribution box, good times…

 

Fancy. Mine doesn't have that, just a single 70' line going out into the neighborsyard

 

We built our house in 1998. Being in construction, I had 2 tanks installed and an extra drain/leach field which is why you see 3 exit pipes in the distribution box

 

do you have a pic of the box all put back together?

 

Very good time

Bet you'll be glad when that job is in the rear view...

 

Cleaned out the fridge tonight after losing power for about 4 days until I got the generator hooked up. Fridge half was loaded with flying bugs, freezer was pretty good frozen, but I threw everything out due to, the smell. Hosed out the whole thing, plugged it back in, and should know in a couple days if I'll be toting it off to the recycling center or not.

Fan was for fresh air, wore mask and gloves. Hehe.

 

Not yet. I’ll do that tomorrow. The box was crushed when I dug it up. I had the tanks sucked out today and will install the new box tomorrow

 

Does your homeowners policy cover spoiled food?

 

I know where to get free PVC pipe

It's miles down the river.

 

Cant imagine that's worth the effort of paying any deductible and having a claim...

 

Was there a pvc factory there or something?

 

Oh yeah, still here. Silverline plastics

 

I hid the condensing units..

 

I haven't checked, for the reason below, I don't want to give them any ideas for raising my premiums beyond their current atmospheric levels.

 

Here you go…
