Boy do I have updates to share! I’ve finally finished this project, merely 452+ days after it began. The garage conversion has been completed! I now have a spacious 10’x20’ room attached directly to my dining room. It is better insulated than any other part of the house and we’re already enjoying the comfort during these nights in the 20’s (of degrees F). Also, my daughter is walking well enough these days. My earlier posts spoke of her birth – well now ...
Hairline Cracks can be filled simply using Concrete Welder, available in a cartridge format. Make sure the crack is clean and free of moisture. Open cartridge and squeeze Concrete Welder directly into the crack. Use a scraper or straight-edge to smooth the material out. Wipe up any excess material and allow to dry for 30 minutes. Now the crack is filled and ready for use.
Welcome to my next renovation. This time around my goal is to renovate my 2nd floor bathroom in a similar style to my basement bathroom. Thrown into the mix I’m also renovating the hallway on that floor. The problem: Out of date and cheaply done bathroom with a leak somewhere around the tub drain (seems to be mostly from the overflow) The floor is unlevel and ugly. Reason enough to do the renovation. The door to the bathroom was nicely done with a 6’ high opening, hung with a h...
I actually told the story about my free air compressor on Lumberjocks but since it has led to a kitchen/laundry room remodel I decided to follow up here. The short version is that I got a free air compressor years ago and it recently quit working. I went to Sear’s Outlet to see if they had any and ended up buying the little woman a new French door refrigerator that we were planning to buy after the first of the year. The new fridge wouldn’t fit where the old fridge was becau...
Here are a couple of pics of the baseboards installed, nail holes and edges puttied, sanded and primered: I also mudded\floated out the remaining sections of the wall where the top coat of plaster had been removed. Just trying to level it all out before I primer the walls and ceiling this weekend. Then I hope to get the walls and ceiling retexturized. Happy Halloween!
I worked on making new door trim moulding, well the bullnose trim anyways. The trim is just painted 1×4 MDF trim from the BORG. The bullnose trim is 1x pine that I planed down to 3/8” and then routed a bullnose profile. It is not much for detail but it matches the existing trim that was already in the house, so I thought it should stay as it was: After finish nailing the trim, I set the nails and then used wood putty to fill all nail heads and joint seams to try to give t...
I have not been on HomeRefurbers for awhile, but I have been working on a new project. I posted it on Lumberjocks, and am adding a link here as well. Here is the tiny trailer house.
One month after buying land, we have our walls framed up. Going into this project I knew it was going to be a very involved process. With all the planning we put into this, it amazes me how many changes we’ve made along the way and how much I could not perceive before actually getting into the project. Fortunately, I think we’ve made some significant decisions that have turned out for the better. Some I was simply forced into. The rain keeps pushing my dry-in date out. M...
