we're gonna do a big bathroom reno once we move into the new place....going to rip out the large spa tub and just make a giant walk in shower..well, I'm not gonna do it but someone is

have your hands ever been dirty?

oh heavens yes but home reno is not my thing..I leave that to the pros

i usually don't like to ask for this kind of thing, but could you pay off my mortgage?

i'm tapped out now, lenny

i have a hard time believing you don't have at least 260k in savings

That's how much he put up in escrow when he signed the purchase agreement on his new house. The balance of the purchase price was put in a suitcase and slid across the table at closing.

what was doug wearing?

Sure, but it means I get to have one of the beers you bring over.

Has anyone here installed crown molding? But not where the wall meets the ceiling. We are doing a decorative molding strip about a foot down from the ceiling. Do I just cut all the corners (inside and out) at a straight 45 degrees? That's what I did for the floor trim, looks great.

Pictures online show the top of the crown molding corners sticking out further, but I don't think that applies to my project.

Never installed it, but seems like it's just the same way? What do you mean by sticking out further?

[Chris_H_2]

Oh, this is going to end well.

"Coping the joint" seems like overkill.

Cleaned out the gutters today. That sucked.

Don't you need like a compound miter saw?

That's exactly what I was thinking.

That sounds complicated

I'm installing a roof vent later this month. I wonder what in the hell I'll need to do that

[LetMeSleep]

We just had 135km/hr winds for nearly 24hrs straight plus over a foot of rain. Turns out the house is pretty good with just a few leaks on the roofing on the deck. Garden drainage is shite and the driveway cascades water through the garage.

a telephone and money
