I hate it when they stop rebates. Always makes me feel cheated if I hadn't made the purchase in time.

OK I am bit perplexed with tis picture. What was/is the purpose of this?
I am not sure I can follow you anymore, the toilet paper is installed with the paper on top.....
Are you saying that you glue the drawer bottoms in the groove? I have always thought you left the bottoms just loose in the groove. Maybe I misunderstood.

Lol. It's supposed to look like a radiator cover, but be a built-in storage cabinet for out main floor half bath. I was going to recess it into the wall but my wife wanted it done sooner than 2027. I still have to cut the top and base so the window side is tight to the wall, then build the paneling around it.
I glue in the bottoms if they are plywood and glue in door panels if they are plywood or mdf. The only time I don't is when they are sold wood. It keeps everything solid.
As for the paper orientation.. I can't even take that paper behind comment seriously..

Please do not take the TP seriously.
Thank you for the explanations.

That TP thing is a no laughing matter for me. Both our bathrooms have the ceramic holders set in the wall to the left of the toilet. I basically have to turn sideways to reach the back of the roll. When my in-laws visited, the wife flipped the roll over every time she used the bathroom. We visited them in Maine and I did the same for her. I was suffering from IBS (Irritable Bowl Syndrome) on one visit so she must have switched the roll thirty times a day. That was the one time I welcomed a colonoscopy -- it fixed whatever was causing the IBS.
I did carry a pair of padded visegrips on that trip so it's tool and garage related.

Don't forget to remind the misses that the wearing of HVAC Repaiman hat pushed back delivery date on next piece of furniture by at least 2 weeks lol
Nice job on the fix and avoiding the $400 repair call. Reminds me I need to go down and swap humidifier filters and make sure water is turned on for it since it's that season now

The remodel will give you something to do for a few weeks after the baby is born since you aren't going to be able to... well, never mind.

A trip to Europe would probably be cheaper than that tub lol.
As someone who has experience in the overlap of DIY projects and newborns, don't start a big project right before the kid is due. You'll thank me later.

I can picture it now, installing tub faucets in the middle of the night between feedings with the baby strapped to your back, hit the espresso bar for a quick boost, bottle in one hand, adjustable wrench in the other
You're a madman Jar!

Cast iron tub! Heavier than hell!
Here is how we get them to the 2nd floor. Might not work for your finished house though!
We deliver cast iron tubs to site before we swing trusses and they stay in the crate till its time to install.

Just like everyone has already said, that seems like a crazy time to choose to start a bathroom reno which seems to make it right up your alley.
Only 418lbs..lol should be lots of fun carrying it up the stairsCast iron tub! Heavier than hell!

I recall seeing a 2-story family room. Any chance some sort of lift could be used? Railings likely in way on 2nd deck.
2nd floor catwalk between the east and west sides of the house, open to the foyer and family room. Railings on both sides. The rails could come out. I moved them when the hardwood floors were installed to actually be parallel with each other. It's about 11' to the 2nd floor deck so a bit of a lift.
Actually I have 3 sections of baker scaffold here.. I could maybe lift it inside that. (The tub is 72" long) rigged at the top and go over the rail. It might take 6 sections (3x3) and lift between to clear.
The 90 degree turn on the front stair will be problematic if I go up the stairs.
I went a bit crazy on the home depot black friday / cyber Monday sales. The last items i ordered showed up tonight. Its not all for me. At least Two of the 1/2" mid torque and two of the 3/8 compact impacts are Christmas gifts I'm giving out. I ended up getting the track saw, circular saw, reciprocating saw, another instalation driver, gen 3 m12 drill & driver, a few mid tq 1/2" impact and 3/8" compact impacts. I only have up to 5ah batteries currently so the 6.0ho and 8.0 forge will be interesting to compare.

That is some Milwaukee order right there. Joined the M12 world a couple years ago and love it.
I have been looking at that track saw. Be interested to see how you like it. It seems like a good option for building my own wood countertops after getting a couple quotes back on some and just buying oversized walnut butcher block that needs trimmed down instead.

Would like your thoughts on the track saw as well. I've been looking to add one to the inventory.

Well, OK. But after the divorce will we still be cousins?
A track saw is perfect for trimming wood countertops.
And makes a decent jointer if you have really long boards.
As for the milwaukee my initial impressions after looking it over are that it seems more solidly constructed than my makita in some areas (aluminum tilt bracket vs plastic)
The base plate cams seem better designed or maybe just easier to adjust.
The plunge spring seems a lot more stiff, which I'm not a fan of currently.
It feels heavier than the Makita without the battery, not a huge issue and not surprising.
It will be interesting to see how well it resets to 90 degrees. On thr makita that is a giant paint to reset and have it perfectly 90 degrees because there is enough flex in the entire system to cause problems.

Not that you need a reason to buy more tools, but I really feel like the M18 Drills/Drivers pair best with the 3.0 batteries. The 5.0 and larger made them feel to clunky for me. Also the M18 Fuel impact driver is a beast, and loud. Again not that you need another reason for more tools, but the surge has all the power a fella needs for driving screws, and if you can cope with jumping onto the M12 bandwagon I think you will REALLY like the Surge Impact and drill.
Lol, i certainly dont need more reasons.
The first milwaukee item I bought was a m18 impact 10 or so years ago. Between the m12 and m18 i have 5 impact drivers and 2 wrenches plus a few drills. I prefer the m12 for the small size most of the time. I'm a fan of the 5.0 over the 1.5 or 4.0 batteries even on the drill/impact. I never picked up a surge, I haven't seen the need (so far)

The 2.5 battery for the M12 is my favorite. It can power through a ton of screws while still keeping a small footprint. I really do want to pickup the surge for driving screws inside the shop instead of the loud impact.

I have never used a 3.0 but the 2.5 is a High Output battery and newer battery tech inside so I would hope it is better. It definitely is supposed to provide more power in things that matter.
I know I got over 300 1 5/8 in deck screws that I used to put my fence slats on when rebuilding my fence per battery.
If the M18 Fuel is Thor's hammer, the M12 Surge is a velvet hammer. Still hits hard but also gives you a reach around in the process. My M18 Fuel mostly does 3" screws, lag bolts and lug nuts. My M12 Surge handles everything under 3" into wood no problem.
