    What did you do today?

    Hey @zannej are you using sketchup for all that stuff you make?? I could scroll and find out but that is a lot of work. I want to model a built in desk for my office, but it needs to fit a pair of Cerwin C12-F, my computer, my synthesizer and a myriad of other crap I own and I do not want to do...

    What did you do today?

    I really hope you cleaned the filters after the van and not the other way around.... unless your van isn't like my van. I end biohazard filtration to get that thing clean. Mercedes never looked so bad :)

    Help with engineered wood slab on grade?

    I use the PMB all the time. It requires a nice slab which typically in smaller applications would require grinding the slab out, nothing too crazy, just enough to get contaminates off of it and rough it up a wee bit. We have use the VS a few times but typically we have shotblast the surfaces to...

    What did you do today?

    If it was me and I wanted to raise a toilet, I would just use some 2X whatever height I wanted it, then slap a sheet of 3/4 ply on it and call it a day. Dont make things harder on yourself than they need to be my man. That is a whole lot of work you are making there. You think about it, if the...

    What did you do today?

    Nicely played man. I think the best pawn shop score I ever got was Bosch drill, Recip saw, another drill two Large batteries and 3 smaller batteries and a fast charger for 150 dollars. Hell, at the time the one fat battery pack was around 120 dollars. I am still using those batteries to this...

    What did you do today?

    There have been a lot but one comes to mind. Black, piano finish maple we installed. The WORST floor i have ever had to touch in my whole life. Everything showed, even of you breath hard on it. Well about 2 years had passed and I get a phone call from Craig. He was looking to have a board...

    What did you do today?

    My house is ceramic and carpet. Not 15 min after I was done it, my kids were dragging my 80 pound mastiff around the kitchen island by her rope toy. Floora are made for living on. It will get scratched, it will get dented and it will get used. People are funny. I get when you pay tens of...

    What did you do today?

    Lining felt. It was the old way of prepping floors for linoleum before we had plywood and the like. People use to not be crazy i suppose.

    Having fun

    Here they aren't even allowed to sell locked phones any longer. It was always such a pain to have to unroot and jail break a phone. Silly telco's. Glad you found something new to learn, learning is always a good way to spend ones time. I wish I had as much interest in my daily life as with all...

    Having fun

    You can still get a locked phone in 'Merica? Holy **** snack, one bloody thing Canada got right. It has been against regulations to sell a phone locked to a carrier here for what I want to say has been 4 years now. What a BS concept that ever was, I bought it fair and square, how the hell...

    Help with engineered wood slab on grade?

    Me again, I kinda glossed over the adhesive they recommended. Technically speaking if you used the T21 you wouldn't need the topical barrier. That stuff is a wonderful product when used appropriately and in most cases will preform all of the utilities you need it to. That being said, knowing you...

    Help with engineered wood slab on grade?

    On a concrete floor with no known or a compromised moisture barrier under the slab and even a lot of times when I know they are good I will still always recommend utilizing a moisture barrier over the concrete. There is no such thing as too much insurance and like you said, flooring is not...

    Help with engineered wood slab on grade?

    You are in luck. There are a myriad of options available for the installation of hardwood on slabs with known moisture issues. I am not personally familiar with Sika MB, as I mostly use Mapei products as they are available to me, in the past I have used a few Sika products and was very...

    What did you do today?

    Another room bites the dust. My house was 1.5 inches higher than my "addition" and the addition was 1.75" lower than the other addition I didn't build. Sooooooo long story short, we got that all fixed up and laid today. I laid some 2x4 on edge with something like 9" O.C. and filled it with...

    Floating floor and kitchen.

    Honestly JCobb has it, im a perfect world the bases go in then floor then cab and kicks. More often, cabs go in and cab guys come back and slam kicks on. These days, most cabs use funky plastic twisty feet so the kicks a lot of the time clip on and are a breeze to deal with. Really, anything...

    Floating floor and kitchen.

    Flooring under cabinets is best.... right up until you are floating a floor then it is a universal no no. Its done all the time and people get away with it but why take the risk? The cabinets have substantial weight and are over a large enough area to pinch that floor and disallow any movement...
