wish you wouldnt have pulled out from selling it a month ago or i would have probably taken it.
-
i can get interested if you get some pics.

i saw boston baked beans, tide, and another (maybe snuggle softener), all on cleveland ave

at this moment, no. but i do have 2 extra matching 21" base cabinets, i could make a 42" island. my only thing is, if i do an island, i want to put it on some sort of wheel base, so i can move it around if need be. eventually though, its going to be in there.

working on it. but i probably wont have them for a few weeks since they have to template and then get them cut and installed. and if i have to wait 3-5 weeks to save a few hundred bucks, ill throw down some plywood for the time being and rip it out when the granite comes it'll look sick once its done though

short day today. got some electrical knocked out, undercabinet lights mounted, microwave mounted, moved the fridge back in, brought in the dishwasher so we can measure for a base fill piece. checked on a couple granite places to get estimates. got a whole list of little 10 minute jobs to do tomorrow couple pics edit - in the 2nd pic, that single cabinet will have another mounted right on top of it to make a pantry, and it will be lifted up off the floor a few inches to toe kick height. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3252.jpg?t=1273283694 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3253.jpg?t=1273283694

more - got the underlayment and laminate put down, got my buddy who does HVAC to come over and put in the vent pipe to go under the cabinet by the window...it was the best $25 ive spent, because there was no way we would have figured out how to do what he did.... got all the lower cabinets in, pipes for sink popped through the sink base cabinet, water line for fridge run, dishwasher line run...there was a piece of metal nailed to the bottom of my door that made it too tall with the flooring. got that pulled off, so my door shuts and doesnt hit the ground. im sure im missing some things, but heres a few pics. oh...this laminate flooring is tits. it looks like actual stone tile. theres only like 3 spots where theres a hairline crack between planks that we couldnt get tight. theyre so tiny though, you cant even see them when standing, only when youre down like youre installing them and heres the funny thing. i originally bought 10 boxes of this stuff. figuring i might need 1 more box due to cuts i would have to make to offset them instead of a checkerboard pattern. this morning before we started, we decided to get 3 more boxes, just incase we finished with 9 boxes, 4 boxes left over. so looks like im getting back almost $200 from that. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3242.jpg?t=1273202294 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3243.jpg?t=1273202294 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3244.jpg?t=1273202294 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3245.jpg?t=1273202294 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3246.jpg?t=1273202294 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3248.jpg?t=1273202294 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3249.jpg?t=1273202294

lol. i havent even been watching my few stocks this week since i havent been at work...come to the computer after working on my kitchen all day and my jaw about hit my keyboard. down like $1.25 on BAC, almost $1 on FITB, and $.50 on ARMH. fuck. only like $60 since i dont have that many stock, but thats like 8% for me. in 1 day

i sent you a PM. my buddys main thing is finishing, and he is a perfectionist to no end. its actually gotten to the point with a couple things where im like "i don't see this "issue" you're talking about", but he sees it and gets it to where its exactly as it should be if you're interested, you can stop by my house tomorrow and see the work me and him (mostly him with me helping...i dont know how to do this shit) have done in my kitchen (took out a wall, put in new flooring, cabinets, bunch of other stuff). im less than a mile from easton at morse/sunbury. edit -- theres pics on here in my kitchen remodel thread, but to see some of the stuff, and how flush things sit that i would have never even thought to do, you'd have to see it up close and in person..

ceiling is stamped, drywall finished, primed, upper cabinets done. and honestly, with all the progress weve made, the thing i love the most? the ceiling. i hated the popcorn with a passion. the ceiling was simple and easy, and looks 100x better. cabinets look awesome too. got them all hung, screwed into each other (eliminate hairline gaps between them and keep them even), doors adjusted pics - http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3235.jpg?t=1273116954 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3236.jpg?t=1273116954 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3237.jpg?t=1273116954 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3238.jpg?t=1273116954 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3239.jpg?t=1273116954 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3241.jpg?t=1273116954

i can check with the guy thats helping me do my kitchen now. the only thing he doesnt do is carpet and HVAC. if youre interested, i can hook you up with him. hes always looking for side work as he doesnt have anything permanent right now.

might be in for an early bite. we're starting on my flooring and cabinets at 9. may stop up there
-
just to update- no new pics...all we did today was sand mud, then put more mud up, we tried to ge the ceiling stamped, but after about 1/4 of it was done, it looked like shit, had clumps coming off with the stiple brush, so we scraped it down, went and bought primer (which we should have done first), put it up and called it a day. tomorrow we should be able to get the ceiling done, final coat for mud on...my buddy wants to start hanging cabinets tomorrow, but i dont think the walls will be ready in time, unless the final coat dries REALLY fast, and we can get it sanded by late afternoon...we shall see.
-
for now, on top of that it will have underlayment and 8mm (5/16") laminate...im just going to have a ~1/2" rise between the 2 rooms. eventually (hopefully before this winter) im going to buy more subfloor panels, do the front room, and a different laminate or i might even do carpet in the majority of the room, and more of the tiles like what i have down from the front door back to the kitchen, about 4' wide. but we made sure we layed those subfloor panels so when we do the front room, we can pull up whatever transition strip is there and tap in the new panels without having to pull up any of the kitchen floor

i know nothing about the guns above, but i do know a little bit about guns...below, same cartridge, different result...sometimes design of a gun will affect the recoil... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrSEu6C874A

havent tried the eagle1 QD, but i know theyre tire shine was the best i ever tried when i used to have a car that i gave 2 shits about

i need to get a finishing blade for it...something with (i think he said) 100-120 tooth that wont chip the edge of the cut on the laminate...id assume you have something on there for cutting 2x4's and the such right? if so, its probably like a 50 tooth. its no problem though...knock on wood, but im actually a bit under budget so far...i planned on about $1000-1500 for stuff like misc tools, materials (mud, screws, etc) that i didnt pick up before we started, and im at <$400 so far. i still need casing and baseboards and stuff, but im actually surprised ive spent as little as i have. friday to today i think ive made 12 different trips to lowes. ill know once my CC online statement updates tomorrow or wednesday. lucky me im so close. lol

today, finished up drywall, corner bead hung, and started mudding the walls...i hate drywalling. after we got the first coat of mud on, we started laying the subfloor panels...these things are sweet. theyre 2'x2', about 3/4" tall, has a plastic bottom with feet about 1/8" tall, and fit together via tounge and groove. theyre made for slab floors to let air underneath them and insulate the room a bit...no more cold kitchen floors. not cheap, i think they were ~$6.78 each, and i needed 52, but no cold floors is well worth $350. to add to this, we found a SHITLOAD of gap in my slab floor on the exterior walls. 2 cans of "great stuff" at $3.75 each filled those up nicely. hopefully that will help with the cold floors a good bit. after we got that done, first coat of mud had dried, he started doing the second coat of mud, i had to make another trip to lowes, get a couple more subfloor panels and a few other things done. hoping for tomorrow to get final coat of mud on, ceiling stamped, and to come back tomorrow night to do final sanding. if so, wednesday we can start to get wall cabinets put up, flooring installed, then put the base cabinets in. once those are in i can get a few granite companies to come out and measure and give me an estimate for my new countertops and undermount sink. sorry for the long ass posts. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3227.jpg?t=1272946117 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3228.jpg?t=1272946117 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3230.jpg?t=1272946117 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3231.jpg?t=1272946117 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3232.jpg?t=1272946117 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/IMG_3233.jpg?t=1272946117

will do. now that i bought an SUV, it'll be easier to haul it around, and look less goofy than carrying it ontop of a kia rio, which is 2' shorter than the canoe itself. lol
-
ah youre the man tim. will give you a call here in the next day or two. thanks! edit...what size is it so i can pick up the blade when im up at lowes tomorrow?
-
im with you tyler. ive seen the main pic, but not all the others...but i wanted to. +rep
-
looking to see if anyone has a compound sliding mitre saw, 10" or 12" i can borrow for a day or two. will probably need it wednesday, so i can pick up tuesday night or wednesday morning. i will buy my own blade so im not using yours...will just be using it to cut some pieces of laminate flooring. and of course, i can give you $$ as a deposit. TIA

lol. month and a half old reply i hit craigslist, found a 15.5' fiberglass canoe for $150. ive had it now for like a month. also got a kayak at dicks a week or two before that. been out on hoover a couple times so far.

i could be wrong, but i think thats what clay (zeitgeist57) does.
