what did you do around the house today?

Ya, worst case I will throw a few brad nails in if it causes problems. Just didn't want to mark up the paint if I didn't have to.

Did you print templates from a specific font/typeface? Please share Looks awesome.

[s_havinga]

Honestly, I went through every font word has to offer until I found one that I liked. "AR BONNIE" in BOLD was the one that I used.

Nice. It took us 9 months until we got our house numbers up. I didn't want to drill into the wood so also used 3M Tape. One of the number lasted ~ a month before I came home to house #7 (instead of #79). Replaced the tape and it's been 3 months now and so far so good...

The 3M tape they use for wings and body kits - works pretty damn good. Used to put decorative hardware on doors with it (same reasoning, holes are bad) I've only heard of one coming off so far. Mostly steel onto that smartboard crap.

Where does one find this stuff?

Crappy tire, auto value etc.

Moved into a new house last week, been super busy with a few updates: (House is 1960s era, so mild updates to go along with its current renos)

-Painted most of interior the house (Paid someone to do it)
-New lighting: double cone sconces for living room, ball pendants for kitchen, still waiting on the Nelson Saucer to arrive. (All is Mid Century Modern style) Motion sensor lights on garage
-Nest Doorbell & Thermostat
-Rogers Smart home alarm being installed today (Works with Google home & Nest)
-Painting outdoor trim
- Now the fun part of furniture shopping. Likely getting a vintage danish type design sofa and reupholstering it. Seems like you cant get much decent without spending 5k for a sofa/couch, and most of it is still junk. These older ones and lasted some 50-60 years already and just need new cushions. (Typically teak frame, cushions are placed on top)

Gorilla clear double sided tape is beastly stuff as well, adheres so well that I've pretty much stopped using it in my line of work because I've first hand seen particle board panels start tearing apart before the Gorilla stuff loses adhesion. Amazing stuff.

Anyone have experience with spray on frosted glass? I am looking to make some clear glass deck panels frosted for some privacy. Hoping this stuff will work in an outdoor application.

I would think film might be better application than spray!

Agreed 100%

I used a similar spray on a buddy's half glass front door, came out alright, but def not perfect. If you do go this route do not spray in heavy coats, the only way you'll get an "even" look is by a lot of light coats. Mask off at least 2 ft around to avoid overspray.

I've done the tint/film on a couple of my houses and a couple buddies and turned out great. Super easy just be patient and do it on a day where the sun isn't blasting at the window or super hot out

MCM is awesome. When we move into our next place, I'd like to try and do everything in that decor.

Unless you go for modern versions or replicas, its certainly is a tough go to find the right items. Its certainly a lot of hunting and trying to get to know the local shops and let them know what you are looking for.

getting a new dock installed this week.

[schocker]

On the weekend I installed a timer for my bathroom fan, wifi light switch for the garage and bought a second proslat wallmount cabinet as they are on clearance at renodepot.
Next up project is ethernet.

I still have streaks/footprint marks on my laminate floor and can't get rid of it. It's not shiny.

Tried to put on my old storm door onto my newish front door. Turns out the opening is too narrow by like 1/4 inch. Fuck. So I bought a retractable screen on sale from Lowes. Installed it in 30 minutes. Yippee. The house originally came with a "Phantom Screen" but the latches on those things are totally useless. The one I bought has a real latch and even locks.

Sold a bunch of shit on Facebook over the last couple of weekends.

Been eating and giving away raspberries like fucking crazy.

This looks fantastic! nice work.

What did you use for the countertops? I'd like to freshen ours up...

Also, did you just paint the back splash or complete re-tile?

Perhaps I'm missing something.... what's the point of a lock on a screen?
