We have a programmable thermostat.. I replaced it years ago from the ****** builder one that was simply temp up/temp down. On/off style. Everything works on this as it should. Air comes on, heat comes on...fan...etc. Only thing that is really kind of annoying is that the unit takes...

About a day behind with some things but here are some updated rough pics. Baesboards are painted and drying before second coat gets put on. Took a couple pics of the room to show the pole placement. It's wack. lol Did two coats of filler and sanded it all down on the round pieces. Looks ok...

Forgot to post the pics yeseterday. Everything seems to be glued nicely. I sanded and this was the result. It's got it's first layer of filler. So I will be sanding that shortly. Then doing another layer. Hopefully two is all that is needed. I think the only minor issue is going to be...

Almost done with the baseboards now. I am just finishing up the poles. Rest of the room is pretty much done as far as cuts. I just have the few pieces leading up to the poles that I will have to cope leading into the pole trim. I played around with different angles and sizes and seemed to...

I will also try this as well! I was digging through my pile of scraps and I don't know the angles on the sides that I cut however... I did find 3 of them that fit together. And as you can see if I had more I could put them all together to circle around the pole. See pic below. Do you thnk the...

No, I think I understand what you are saying, plus I have enough scrap pieces of small baseboard I can do this on Saturday without worrying that I will be short on baseboards. I was planning on using construction adhesive just a little bit to bond it to the pole for each cut but carpenters glue...

I think this is exactly what I'm going for honestly. Thank you! Would the 67.5 degree miters be on both sides of the wood being cut? Just want to make sure I understand it. MoonRise: The first half of what you said I wish I understood..lol I'm just not familiar with the terminology or how...

Dumb question, how to cut baseboard to go around a half round pole? The basement is pretty much done. The only thing I have left which I am going to do this weekend is putting the baseboard around my modding room... Everything else is complete, floor done, paints, speaker wire run, tv...

Was just helping a friend move from one place to another and she gave me her Waterloo small tool cabinet. Has tools inside still, but she said she has no clue where the key is. This has probably been in her garage for 5+ years or so, clearly she's never needed whatever is inside..lol Is there...

Any reason why you don't want to go with a kit? I was in the same boat. Also in IT, not stupid by any means but never built a shed. Years ago I made a thread on here. I ended up buying a Costco Yardline wood Aston shed when it went on sale. All materials came with it minus the roof...

It's a shame that people don't appreciate it. I keep telling my wife the house we are in is great but I just wish it had a bigger 2 car garage.. IE: 3-4 and or a detached. Problem is around me if you live on anything below a certain acreage you can't have more than X amount of sq ft for the...

When we had our deck redone while getting a patio installed along with front walkway and porch. The installer used Evergrain Envision brand. We got the spiced teak and it's awesome. Looks soooo much nicer than the wood that used to be there. No more staining or getting splinters in your...

I received my Swanstrom from the eBay seller that was recommended above. Wow...these are freaking awesome. The precision when they clip and close is awesome. I thought I had OK flush cutters but these are perfect to me. Jaws are straight, not chipped, The handles are slightly worn but...

Just picked up a M403C set. Thank you! Seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I can't stand the cheapness of some of the flush cuts and it just doesn't work for me. These look like quality all the way through! I was on the fence between the M403c and the M401c. They seem almost...

All of our vehicles including the Mercedes gets drained at the bottom. Every vehicle has as fumoto valve so changing oil is super easy. The only time I get my hands dirty is my wife's lexus because it has the stupid filter cartridge where you remove the center portion, let it drain then...

Love backup cameras. it's weird to me driving a vehicle that doesn't have one anymore. I installed one on my STi 14 years ago, my Ranger about 5 years ago (had to redo it about a month ago due to the camera going bad, it's ok, ended up getting a nicer one). Retro fitted a camera to our...

If I make an extension would there not just be some random looking block of wood there that would make it look not finished? I guess I am trying to understand what you mean but I can't find anything online or at least I don't know what to search for as an example to see a picture. Can you...

I wish I knew what that meant to be honest...lol I've done cove joints on the baseboards before so I know that but not sure what a baseblock is or how to do it. I think you just nailed it for this situation! I did exactly what you said and this is the result. I did cut too much into it but...

Stairs are coming along nicely, I'm actually taking much longer than expected since my staircase isn't 100% 90 degrees on the sides and I have to cut each tread accordingly and then shape it to fit... it's a tedious process but the results are zero gaps and I will not have to caulk the sides to...

Yep will definitely meet code with either or honestly. I measured the stock step and it's right around 10" give or take depending on where I am measuring. Plus minus several mm. I tend to agree having slightly more step is nice, and I'm sure most wouldn't even noticed 1/4" depth to the tread...
