If it’s just a covering there’s no code against it that I ever heard of. Just make sure all the stairs, including top and bottom landings, are the same height.

Add applesauce...Yum

Unless it’s a very wide step I’ve never seen the nosing done in two pieces like that. Doesn’t seem like a good idea to me due to potential flexing. Just asking for trouble. I can’t think of any reason to do that unless you ran out of material.

Wow! Half a mil!! That's impressive... Original motor?

Aw crap, sorry to hear that. Unfortunately you’re right. Insurance companies don’t care how much you put into it. Unless you have a special policy they go by the book. You can look it up. 🥹...

Musta had quite a few drunks driving through the front door to justify that expense? 😜

Watch at 2:39… You know he jammed his hand on the tack strip when he dropped the knife and stopped the camera… I remember doing that more than once…Ouch! lol

Anyone remember carpeting stringers? First thing I learned as a helper. Glad that went out of style. Turn up the volume on the video, makes it seem exciting…LOL … I was waiting to see the bloody knuckles from the tackless…🤪

In a country like ours, what are the options? What’s the average citizen to do? Vote for the other guy? Run for office and make things right? Revolution? Way I see it is our greedy government officials are controlled by greedy global corporations beyond our control. Aldous was a smart...

Alrighty then, hard to argue with success. Just seems to me, that in my area anyway, if Home Depot and Lowe’s just collaborated a little they could do just as much business with half as many stores… I‘m probably wrong. Billionaires didn’t become billionaires by being stupid.

From what I’ve noticed around here whenever a Home Depot or Lowe’s pops up the other is not far behind…. Keeping each other in check? I dunno, seems like overkill but you don’t have to travel far to get to either one on Long Island. They’re everywhere. I have five Home Depots and three Lowe’s...

Yea power washers need a hose…Unless you have a giant commercial one with a giant tank…That needs a truck to move it around. Brush is easier for small projects.

Definitely don’t need a hundred dollar model. There’s a bazillion of um on Amazon or I’m sure at Walmart too. This one’s nice with the hose attachment...

I’ve been in a few joints like that…But they were more about beer than food…🤣

About 20 lbs. but I’m sure retirement had something to do with that also…😫

Carefully…LOL I was able to get in there and under the interior floor through the space between the deck and the floor, where the door will go.

Changed the back door at the Islip shop yesterday… What a can o worms! Building is over 100 years old with some serious settling going on. Like the leaning tower of Pisa…. That I knew, what I didn’t know was how rotted out it was underneath. Ended up just throwing some pressure treated under...

Then you really don’t have to worry about getting that hump completely flat… One more vote for sanding. Or just a little patch on either side to lessen the severity…. But I‘m guessing you want it perfect…😎

What’s being installed? Floating floor? Sanding sounds right… But if not how about some undercourse/shims/cedar shake Instead of Masonite? Might be able to get it closer to flat with less or no patch.

yea true, but with many apartments the carpet is gonna get trashed by the tenants who are only there a short time anyway. I give the landlords the nod on this one. Buy cheap, replace often. If you have a tenant that you know and trust, and they’re gonna stick around a while then give them an...
