We’ve got similar pillars and have had a hard time getting quotes. We want to change our ceiling trim of the entry way like yours to cedar, and match the pillars. Two quotes are both around $20k from large reno companies. That also included railings. I’m close to cutting a hole in the pillars to see if there is a steel beam inside, and if so demo’ing them and framing myself.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

cycosis that looks very nice!!
Got the Quartz installed at my new place. Went with waterfall on both sides of the islands and both gables of the cabinets against the wall, I dont know how they did it but the pattern match is almost bang on. Im pretty sure i have more counter space on just my island than i do in all of my kitchen at the old place

Finished this up a couple weeks ago... still need to build some sort of planter/firewood cover decor thing... not sure on the design yet
5 runs of Cat6 for the upstairs bedrooms. 2 in each office and 1 in the master bedroom for a smart tv or streaming device.
Went with Cat6 for 10Gbe abilities to the offices if I need as I'll be running 1 to my desktop.
Also noted is the Ubiuiti Unifi AC Pro that I got for free from ERA as well as an Aruba s2500 24p switch.

I can try to find the company, but this is what was passed on:This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
'My friend suggested Composite Metal Panel cladding posts. The upside is it’s the best system for that application and durability (no painting or staining and it would last forever), the downside is it isn’t economical. He said it would be between $2,000 and $2,500 for the 2 posts.'
I wasnt about to spend 2500 to cover two posts.. so I will keep looking. In my head if I got two collapsable metal supports and then two 4x4 or 6x6 beams and mounts it shouldnt be too difficult or expensive.. but if something goes wrong it would be an expensive fix. Could also just build a frame and cover them myself.
Thanks for passing that on. I tried the fake wood on new garage doors and it was a big fail. Just repainted them white. I’ll take the work to keep real wood on the pillars and soffet.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
Finally got my new to me Coleman 425 stove up and running. Long story short; bought this stove for 45 bucks cause the valve was fucked and I need a new car calling stove. I just so happened to have a spare complete fuel tank from a pre 60's Coleman 425. It needed a fuel cap, generator, and a pump cup. Also needed to be cleaned as it was stored with gasoline in the tank and gas tends to create deposits. Anyways after installing new parts I have a new/old 425.
Now I need to figure out what to do with the older 431 stove. The burners and tank all work great, but the case is really starting to lose paint and rust. Might try and sand and repaint. I want to save the decals on the inside too. Then I might hang on to it or put it in storage for when my sister or brother need a stove.

So more beyond armchair activism at work again?
I noticed some wasp activity near one of the corners of my roof. Took a closer look, and they are in early stages of establishing a home. Seems like they are building it inside the gutter. SOB's. It is way too high for me to reach safely with a ladder. I blasted that area with my hose for a good 15 minutes. Saw maybe 50ish wasps flying around. Lets see if I was able to flood them out or if they have come back even more pissed off.
In the past, I've generally used a gas soaked rag on the end of a 2x4 or long metal rod to burn wasp nests. Probably had to do this 2-3 times in my life (so, every 10 years or so). In Calgary it seemed no one blinked an eye when I did this, but then again the neighbors knew me. Shall I try the same here and end up on BC Global News?
Built a 8’x6’ platform for the power rack I am getting delivered in 2 weeks:
3x 5/8 subfloor mdf sheets (2 layers)
PL400, some screws
2x 6x4’ rubber mats screwed on top
If you have any of the severe poisons that have likely been banned now, I've got an expert technique. We used a fairly concentrated Diazinon liquid but Malithion would likely work, too. Anything that smells so incredibly bad that you're certain it's damaging you for every instant you're smelling it is what you want.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Straighten a coat hanger into an ~20" poker and tangle a small rag around the end of it. Wait until later dusk, dip that into the liquid cancer and go stab it into their nest (doesn't have to be in the access hole, but that won't hurt. Briskly GtFO of the area. Return in morning with shop vac for corpse handling and any other dying beasts. Empty shop vac where your neighbour's cat lives.
Been working to get the back yard done over the last few weeks.
Planted a couple trees, got the flower bed laid out and mulched and a trellis built for a hammock.
Hope to finish the sprinklers and get sod down on the weekend
Very nice back yard!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
