Holt shit Dave! Looks great! Any island plans for the kitchen? I know the misses could use the room for cakes

epic remodel job.

you have much more patience than I do. I just do a bunch of small projects that eventually fix up a whole room.

I went with the "wood looking" ceramic/porcelain? tile as well in my bathroom and shower walls.. looks great.

Awesome turnaround!

Very nice, great job. I can feel your pain on the wallpaper. My whole fucking house was wallpaper from the 70's. Took me about a month just stripping all the wallpaper.

Damn man, that turned out fantastic. My wife was telling me a little about this from her talking with Laura, but the pictures really put it all into perspective!

PS, I hope you're enjoying that sweet ass beauty salon

 

[muskie]

Turned out great. You guys did a ton in the week between helping you get that sliding door in and moving in. That bathroom on the first floor wasn't even touched!

Can't wait to check it out.

Last weekend's project: pressure washing the patio and drive way. I'll let the pics do the talking:





Easy to tell which part was cleaned:





Front steps, the one under my foot is cleaned, to show the color difference with the other ones:


Didn't take a finished pic of the stones, cause they are ugly anyway, but they are at least clean now. Anyone have a good way to get the rust stains up? I tried CLR and it didn't so anything.

There's that "rust-x" product that works for rail dust on cars. I'd try that.

Otherwise muriatic acid does a hell of a job, but wear PPE!!!!

Awesome, you got nice taste in decor n stuff

 

[02BlueGT]

Just wrapped these up.... Dark street with no street lights, so needed some light on the driveway:

No lights


Stupid aluminum siding that will make any light crooked.


My solution: home made wood mount (its actually level, photo makes it look not for some reason)


Light in:


Full view. I think I need to get brighter bulbs

Damn good work man!

 

[syP]

you should be a carpenter

 

[02BlueGT]

you should be a carpenter

It's more fun if you don't work on this stuff every day... Probably gonna get a nest thermostat today. Then to start insulating the garage.

 

[boostedguy05]

looks great!

any thought of putting a 3rd above the house number on the garage so that is lit up? pizza guy would probably thank you.

Slight update (need to do a little paint touch up still) :


Ugly front door paint from 50 years ago (door knocker left a very phallic imprint in the door. I wish I grabbed a pic before I put the patch over it:



Laura wanted me to match this bowl's color on the door:



I think I got it:



All done, with bonus home made 'merica wreath
