Hmmmm these look familiar. These came stock on a e39 5 series BMW with the M package. A car just like mine for example.... http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w211/Matt86K5/DSCN1262.jpg

LOL, I guess we broke it.

Mirror is gone now too. Thanks BBQdDude!!

All on craigslist now too.

I like the wakeboard bump!

I would do all your doors in the same white you did your trim in.

LOL hell no. Its a real Merc.

Like I said though, the other house has had 2 different families with kids and dogs. No problems except at the doors with marks in same location on both sides....moving shit. My 2 boxers did fine with them too, other then the occasional food drool smear.

Yeah, I definitely don't want farmhouse look lol. I have always used Behr semi-gloss white latex. I have had no durability issues yet.

What glass work you having done? I told you about my drive - it's the arneson. No, its just a reman Alpha. I'm not ready for the swap yet.

I'll check with my Dad and make sure he likes them. It is for our 51 Ford Custom.

For a 302? Do you know if they will fit a 289? If so, how much for them?

Including leaving the flat part the spindle attached to stained? The moulding below that flat part will be white as it attaches to the base boards and door mouldings.

That was originally the whole point of this thread, before the major derail. I am definitely not going to do the top hand rail, and more then likely, anything above the flat piece. I was just looking for a way to mix the 2 colors and still make it look good. I will wait and see what Tim has planned as his and my house are very similar in era and designs (maybe even same builder as close as we are). Thanks for the tips though! :thumbup:

Exactly. Let me know when you get back. Of what? There is one pic of the dining room I did right up top. I'm not going to bother posting others. In my experience, it is working fine and lasts great. That's all that matters to me.

I've already done two rooms, looks great and looks like I paid someone to do it or that it came that way. I did this in my other home too. It has held up with 2 different sets of renters and so far only needed minor touch ups, I assume from when they move. I am doing all of this one way or another. I'm just looking for opinions on which way I should do the stair case. The color trim on this house makes it look dated and it all doesn't match. I have bought and sold 3 different houses in the last 4 years. I know what people are looking for. Plus, my results from my own work have not been questioned yet.

The thing is, the people that had this house before added A LOT of wood work. The down side is, none of the stain matches. I have 3 different colors of wood trim in my kitchen alone. Also, from selling our last home, we learned most buyers actually prefer the updated look of the white versus the wood. I don't mind painting it all myself instead of buying all new white. Like I said, there is A LOT of wood work all through the house and I don't see the need to waste it all. I have already done 2 rooms and it isn't bad at all.

LOL other? What did you do, convert it to a twin?

It seems we all have some projects going on. I need some ideas. We are converting all of our wood work from the wood color and painting white. I can not decide what to do about the stair rail. I do not want to paint the hand rail part white as it will get filthy, but can't quite make up my mind on how to do the split. I am thinking of leaving the whole thing wood colored down to the big base plate the spindles attach to, then start the white wood work just under the the base plate thing on the casing underneath. That ties in to the baseboards, which we are also upgrading to the large style. Any other ideas or suggestions? Here is what it looks like now. Also, below is my dining room that was the last project. In it you can see the white wood transition. The foyer wall color will be a similar brown, but not as dark. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w211/Matt86K5/Starleaf%20LN/Projects/PC290021.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w211/Matt86K5/Starleaf%20LN/Projects/PC290023.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w211/Matt86K5/Starleaf%20LN/Projects/PC290022.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w211/Matt86K5/Starleaf%20LN/Projects/PC290018.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w211/Matt86K5/Starleaf%20LN/Projects/PC290019.jpg

Your engine back in Ohio yet?

Ran great at the end of the season after the drive swap. Still need to try a bigger prop. I can put my 21p Mirage to at least 6k. It would have kept going, but I didn't let it. I really need to try a 23-25 something. She's asleep right now.

I have been hearing alot of good about the flooring place that went in over in Mill Run in Hilliard where the old Kmart was.

Spot cleaner gone! Thanks Jones!

Do you think it is the cord, or could it be the plug on the actual unit? If you are pretty sure it is just the cord, I will take it. I think I have a universal we could test it with. You ever in Columbus?

Looks very good. I really like the wood floor with the white trim. My house has all the older oak wood trim and crown moulding. We are in the process of painting it all white. You sound like you are doing things the same way I am...one room at a time.... :thumbup:
