They have a rather "industrial" look which is fine for storage buildings and commercial properties. Not sure how it would look at a residential setting but maybe your build isn't residential? I would guess that they are noisy. Seem to be geared towards easy of replacing panels from dings. If...

Came to suggest the same thing. I have one in my truck bed right now. I plan on using a few to make a rubber floor in a workout room in our basement. Comes out to a little over $1 a square foot. I have seen them for closer to $20 at Big R or Rural King, if you have any of those stores...

I really doubt 1 or 2 degrees is going to affect the product at all.

Most bamboo flooring contains formaldehyde so it is not safe for food preparation. I won't comment on the rest of the table.

Since when have Japanese products really been junk? Several Japanese companies have been making quality stuff since at least World War II. Taiwan, Thailand, China, yea some junk there. Some people just have a stigma since it's not "Made in USA." A lot of that has changed as people realize...

Nice looking house. My wife and I are looking to build a house in a similar style as yours with the vinyl shakes and cultured stone. What kind of cultured stone did you use? Also, do you have crawlspace under your porch slab? Usually it's just filled with sand but you have vents on yours?

I'm not sure if you're thinking of building in a city/subdivision but there may be zoning ordinances or covenant restrictions on such structures. They may just consider it a house if you have no other structures on the property. If they consider the primary purpose of the structure to be a...

I would be more concerned about how well the window seals up rather than just the U-factor. For example, a lot of windows constructed with a pure vinyl frame (no wood inside the vinyl) are prone to a lot of expansion and contraction and don't generally seal up around the moving components all...

This guy tried a few things and looks like carburetor cleaner worked pretty well: It's pretty harsh stuff so it's not surprising that it did work.

I think you're right and I did not read what I posted thoroughly. There is an article on the Washington Post of a Q&A with the Director of the Office of Defects Investigations at the NHTSA that posed this question...

They do expire according to NHTSA's website: http://www.nhtsa.gov/Vehicle+Safety/Recalls+&+Defects/ci.Motor+Vehicle+Safety+Defects+and+Recalls+Campaigns.print

Cellulose will fill in all the cracks better than fiberglass batt but fiberglass batt is a little easier to do to the average person. You can rent the cellulose blowing machines at the big box stores and lumber yards. It's not very hard either but you'll need someone to feed the machine while...

I just re-read the OP's post and you're right. I was thinking it was a conventional counter piece but it's a veneered door so wood glue would be a good choice.

Only for 4 hours. He needs a permanent stiff pole...:bubbrubb:

I don't think wood glue would be a good choice here. Only one of the two surfaces has exposed wood. The other has the counter laminate which is not porous. I would use a construction adhesive between the two. EDIT: Just noticed that it's wood veneered not plastic laminate so ignore what I...
