Thanks for the further comments guys. I can appreciate the comments about appreciating the wood for what it is and about it being a fad. I won't disagree totally, but this is the situation. We are planning to renovate our house, and a few of the general contractors suggested we replace the...

Thanks Kaizen and rsanter, I looked that up, that's exactly what we are looking for! I didn't realize there was a variety of stains so dark. Any other comments on removing the red/yellow from the baseboards? Sent from my SM-G970W using Tapatalk

Yes that helps! We picked up some steel wool, 000 and 00 to try. I imagine this will be a workout to do a door by hand, but if you did floors by hand... Sent from my SM-G970W using Tapatalk

Question 1- My wife and i are trying to paint an interior door that I think is fir (so I've been told), if it goes well we will do a few more like it. If it doesn't go well then so be it. She found a picture of some kitchen cabinets that are painted but the wood grain is still very apparent, we...

Right, thanks guys. I see there is an option to "open to first unread" if I click the 3 dots on the right side of the thread title in the tapatalk app as well. I just find it odd that other forums automatically open there even on the tapatalk app, but this will work fine for me. Thanks all...

In other forums I am a part of I have found options that I select so that when I open a thread that has been posted in since I read it last it opens to the oldest unread post. I can find that option in this forum, and find it annoying to open threads and scroll back to find the latest post I...

This won't cause any damage to the motion sensor/circuitry etc? sorry for the noob question, i had thought of this but then assumed that the motion sensor wouldn't like it, but i really have nothing to base that on..(edit - i now see manufacturers say you can wire sensors together to control the...

Aah, thanks guys. I didn't realise that motion sensors can be manually "overrode" by operating the light switch in a specific sequence. My initial intent was that the switch would not be able override the sensor to "off" or to "on" position. This is not the case with the above since the switch...

I am building a new garage and will be starting the wiring soon. I am planning for soffit lighting and had an idea that i'm not sure how to execute. I want to be able to control the soffit lighting from a switch, but also from a motion detector. The key here is that i don't want the light stitch...

I too am enjoying following along and am thoroughly impressed with the swingarm mod. I too was wondering how the geometry change would affect stance/travel and stiffness. I agree with you that the rear looks like it will come up a bit and the travel will increase a bit if everything else...

Thanks Ben, I went and re-read the description of the hinge location support and think I understand better now. And that makes sense about not wanting to space the tire out. The spare tire on my van has the same issue I think. That is a tire mount that was designed and manufactured by a company...

Over the last three weeks I have been reading bits and pieces of this thread, just now coming to the current posts. As many have mentioned pretty much everything here is extremely impressive. I feel like as this thread went from topic to topic that it was covering all of my major interests, one...

Thread title caught my eye earlier this week and I just finished reading it. Incredible property, garage, cars and story! I owned an e34 touring for 7 years that I swapped an m52 and manual trans in, I liked that car. I would love one day to do something similar to what you have done with vlad...

I just finished reading the thread, I mostly lurk here but I have to say good work with this truck! I love that it is being cleaned up/fixed and being made more reliable, but still used like a truck should! Makes me want to get out and work on a few of the issues on my 84 econoline! Sent from...

I know I know. The Uni-t meters I'm considering are true rms. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk
