No because I have to go the home improvement store to buy things.For all of you lucky work from home people, You got any home improvement projects lined up to fill your extra time sans commute?
Not currently. I need to do some painting, but that sounds awful.For all of you lucky work from home people, You got any home improvement projects lined up to fill your extra time sans commute?
Some company came to my door last summer and offered their services. It was $30/month to come by our house and pick up dog shit. Like fuck off, thats my fertilizer!Imagine paying to have a pet's shit picked out of your own yard.
I can't trust a person that pays for that service.
I've been building new kitchen cabinets for my kitchen for a few months now. It's nice that I have all the stock I need and can work on it more now.
What type of wood are you using??I have a galley type kitchen so I can work on one side of the kitchen cabinets at a time. I made a pull-out (giggity!) trash can/recycle cabinet and am working on the sink cabinets. Here's where I'm at:

It's walnut. Rustic walnut which usually has more imperfections like figure, knots, etc. It's cheap and I actually like the character.What type of wood are you using??
All of this sounds good but what the fuck is a water closet?I live in an older house, was built in 1948, so I am in the middle of an interesting renovation.
I will try to make it all make sense but we are about 80% done currently.
1. Had hail damage so I got a new roof
2.Since we were getting a new roof, there is a large addition that was never vented properly with the old HVAC system so we added some ducting and return air before the roof was done. (saving us have to tie it in, we just had to cut the holes and set the boots and let the roofing company tie it all in.
3. Moved Furnace from water closet and AC from the side of the house into a combo unit on the roof. This required replumbing all the gas lines in the house
4. Swapped out the old water heater to a brand new tankless version!
5. painted and patched up the old water closet.
That is where I am at. To finish still need to do the following.
6. fix the sub flooring in the water closet (there is a large hole that was where the return air came back from the old furnace)
7. add new flooring to water closet, thinking of doing the snap together vinyl stuff that everyone is saying is amazing these days and I figure with it being in a laundry room it will be a good idea to have water proof flooring.
8. Tie in additional venting (The ducting is currently being produced)
9. Add in new washer water box and electrical outlet
10. move washer and dryer from garage into water closet.
The wife is happy to get a laundry room in the house, so am I actually. The furnace and AC are brand new and upgraded to run enough air for the original house and the addition which is nice cause that is our main living area, and after it is all said and done I get a new work bench/work area in the garage where the washer and dryer used to be!
The closet that holds your water heater and furnace usually.... The one in our house is bigger than a normal one for some reason hence the conversion.All of this sounds good but what the fuck is a water closet?
Never heard that before and I have installed over 100 furnaces and water heaters. Fucking buddy scored a big contract and somehow I became part of it. Good money but long hours and hard work. Shut peoples heat and water off for hours they get hostile.The closet that holds your water heater and furnace usually....
