It takes one 8' 1x12 and 1/2 of an 8' 2x6 to make a chair. The way prices are now that's $35 for wood, if I can find any. Plus screws and glue.

What about labor? How much for that? How long does it take to build?

In the interest of the future for the basement floor, is epoxy paint considered a vapor barrier?

The man wears a suit, the dog only pants.

I would assume so, but you'd need to ask the company that makes what you are using. There are special epoxys designed just for that, but designed for top coats of fillers and self levelers. I think they bond with the moisture in the slab to do their magic.

 

[Tom Picciani]

Practice safe eating. Always use condiments.

Using my rewards card, I filled both cars at $.98 a gallon. I drive the 2007 Nissan Versa most of the time and it gets 30+ mpg. Holds 13 gallons and I fill it about twice a month. It was my late MILs car. Has over 200,000 miles and still runs great. Uses no oil between changes

We're at $2.60

lawn or deck furniture. Park bench, folding tables, Adirondack chair maybe. Problem is pressure treated lumber is scarce and expensive
