  1. If your going to do the handrail(top), use a quality primer like XIM. Sand the hell out of it first, and then add 2 good coats of the primer. Then 2 good coats of the top coat. The handrail will see alot of use.
  2. Damn best game I have seen in a long while. Holy shit.
  3. Holidays, weekends, and everything else isnt that bad. At my previous job, I have been sent away for 8 months before.
  4. You would have to be retarded to fail this test. Dont worry about it.
  5. Leave it. Unless its lacquered using a sprayer, it wont be what you want. lacquer yellows if not done right with the appropriate primer underneath, and can get fairly expensive to have done right. You can spray acrylic but it will need repainted every few years. Most of these I have seen done by homeowners without experience and proper tools(its not extrememly difficult to do either) it is met with mixed results. Spraying is ideal but to do right it takes alot of prep work.
  6. My neighbor pulled up in one last week, never seen one before, cant tell if I like it.
  7. Pigeon forge is always nice because you can get a nice hidden cabin, and if you want you can take a quick drive into town for restaurants and tourist attractions. Theres bars, restaurants, stuff to do in case you get bored one night.
  8. Considering getting my pilots license and since I am also in need of a new career I was considering maybe this could be an option as well. I have found several local places that offer flight training, and the basic certificates can be had for $5-10K. My question is how easy is it to get a pilot job, and whats the average salary? With the economy, are there 100's of unemployed pilots out there now? I know the commercial certificates are alot more expensive but WC is paying for college and I really dont want to go back there for any kind of degree. I may be able to convince them to foot the bill for this instead.
  9. Damn repeated episode. I was hoping it was the new one. Theres several shows like this on different channels. All have similar names. "Hoarders" actually shows parts of the clean up where others focus on the help the people need. I prefer seeing the clean-up. I have had to clean up several tenant spaces just like those on the show. Its not pretty.
  10. Do you guys just want to relax in a cabin or do you want to do stuff while your there? Ever been to Pigeon forge Tn? You can make it in 6hrs and theres stuff to do in the warm months. Never been there during colder months.
  11. Just starting watching another episode now.
  12. I love the show, but missed it tonight. Its been dropping off lately.
  13. Have you turned the knob on and pushed in, then struck the ignitor button?
  14. Have you checked the Tranny fluid yet? I had one that when the fluid got low, it would suck in air, foam and then leak out.
  15. As AJ stated, light a piece of newspaper, turn gas on and throw in. Just like lighting a gas grill when the ignitor is broken.
  16. There are several different ways to do your edges. The thickness of the laminate will be deducted from the overall reveal your baseboard will have once done. My original baseboard was very narrow(older home). With only 3" of baseboard I dint want to deduct 1/2" from that so I removed mine and raised them up so the floor was under them. You can also get away with removing just the 1/4 round stock and replacing after the floor is down. Most 1/4 rounds will cover the gap the floors manufacturer suggests you leave for climate change the floor will endure. I literally do 90% of the floors I install with just a battery powered dewalt circular saw. Its lightweight and I can just cut the pieces right where I am at without having to go out to a seperately setup miter saw. Although I always have to go out to the miter saw for very precise cuts around weird angles. You would also need a $5 flush undercut saw to saw under your door frames so the floor is hidden beneath them as well. This is simple, take a scrap piece of floor with no padunder it, lay it down next to the frame and lay the flat handheld saw on the scrap piece and saw away until the small piece of frame is gone. I personally suggest using a transition piece that matches when going in between rooms, especially a bathroom. Theres nothing worse that to have to remove an entire room of flooring because your toilet had a leak. You could cut along the seams of pieces if you need to make a repair and pop out just the bad stuff, but then you would have to try to glue in a piece without either a tongue or groove and its hard to make it look right again. After 5mins of doing either laminate or wood yourself, you will tell yourself, you couldnt believe you were actually going to pay someone for this. Solid wood is a little trickier due to cost and layout. Without the proper planning on a solid floor you can easily add alot of cost when you realize you screwed up using some boards here when they would have been better used over there. While this is also true with laminate, the material is alot cheaper and you can run to the store to pickup an extra box. Alos think ahead and consider buying an extra box or 2. It sucks to scrap an entire floor because a few pieces were ruined a year after install and the laminate or wood you have is no longer available. If you need help with either one, let me know and as long as my foot is good I will come help/lend support.
  17. I am always the odd man out. I must be the only one who doesnt like black rims. I do hope to see pics of the car though.
  18. Save yourself the money, both solid wood and laminate are super easy to install.
  19. 4:20, if I can find an easier path on 12 and 18 I would have a much better score.
  20. What adhesive are you planning on doing?
  21. Sorry, misread, dont go cheap on material, the cheaper stuff easily swells with only a drop of water on the seam.
  22. Isnt that the rim that fieros came with?
