I feel your.pain!
Nice new umbrella, glass top patio table and a wind gust.
Now have an unusable umbrella, a shattered glass table and an unhappy wife!
And I was using a heavy duty umbrella base.

Your door looks great!

Looks pretty dam good....

What kind of a sprayer did you use?

Thanks.

I'm spraying with a cheap graco airless x5 for the topcoat and a old lt15 (same basic model) for the primer. Both primer and topcoat were sprayed with 308fflp tips.

I had been using a fuji 4 stage hvlp, but it's not great for large areas of for thick finish, and this was both.

Got some runs in the doors when I sprayed vertically, realized after sanding back and spraying horizontally it was hard humidity levels and thr morning dew that was causing the issue. 12 hours later the paint was wet, but one door sprayed 15 minutes prior was dry.. timing...

Lucky with the nail gun.

Your wife was very thoughtful.

How is anyone sleeping at that hour?

We have moved into the inlaw suite in the basement, baby is in his room with a noise machine. I can run the shop vac, circular saw and nailer all at once and he doesn't hear a thing.

I worked till 1am last night and everyone else was sound asleep

Jar: I’m sorry I don’t check your threads more often cause I always love your work and skills. Best of luck on getting the master done so you can move out of the basement. I recall several times usually when my bride was pregnant when I’d be updating the kitchen or bathroom or something and I’m happy those days are in my past so good luck.

Do you still love your timber tech (or was it trex) decking? Any tips on cutting it? Which blade and maybe in the morning before sun heats it up to get actual measurements. I’m not going to picture frame my 32x16 deck so I’ll have exposed ends. I can try to cut ends next to house so factory ends are exposed or would a 60 tooth blade and maybe painters tape on top where I’m cutting do ok?

Enjoy Mother’s Day !!

The room is slowly coming along.

Would be faster if I wasn't scribing everything in

The deck was timbertech, no complaints it's been holding up great. As for blades, I was just using whatever generic blades I had. I didn't want to ruin a good trim blade. I ended up running everything long and cutting thr ends with my track saw (28t general purpose Tenryu blade).

I ended up working on the deck in all sorts of temperatures so I'm no help on measurement differences.

I like how you moved the electric outlets in your master bedroom to the baseboard region and turned them horizontal.

We used to offer wainscotting in dining rooms of our houses and would do that.

Yeah, I strongly dislike them interrupting the panel layout, so it's either move them to hit a wainscot stile, or move them into the baseboard. Baseboard is easier (as long as the wiring comes from the floor...) and looks better.

As an aside I grabbed this #90 bullnose plane since the scribe was too too curvy for my block plane. I think it's my new go to for this type of work. When skewed the sole is only marginally longer than a spokeshave so perfect for tighter curves. 20260509_213058.jpg

Im also considering the Milwaukee m12 power planer for a lighter one handed option compared to my makita for scribes like this.

I wish I'd have picked up a 1/4" spiral flush trim bit awhile ago. I was cutting these outlet holes with a 1/2x1/2" bit in two passes adjusting the depth between. Ordered the downshear spiral and wondered why I waited.

I bought 3 flavors of the Woodpeckers Ultra-Shear carbide spiral bits some time back. First time I used one, it was eye opening. WOW!

To use a cliché.... Like a hot knife through butter.

I was wondering how you were going to those outlets.... I never seen a bit like that before. Looks like it did wonders.

I like how your OG style molding is on an actual wood backer.

At the day job, the OG would have been applied directly to the drywall. Then the base molding, drywall, OG, and chair rail piece at top would all be painted semi gloss.

I did the same "cheat" in our dining room and foyer. I didn't bother to move the outlets to the base molding though.
