Please share your source for BB. The veneer on the shit you get a Windsor is so narrow, you can remove by looking at it the wrong way.

Don't have any before photos for this one, but it was basically just the standard god awful accordion closet doors with a bunch of drywall around them that home builders typically put in non master bedrooms.

Built a full custom built in closet, all with Blum Tip-On hardware so no handles are necessary, pretty happy with how it turned out.

This looks Pretty good. Nice job.
We are redoing our Pantry and Laundry room. We hired California Closets and it is a Shit Show.

Just had a friend of a friend do a bunch of built-ins for us and he did a great job. PM if you want his contact but would highly recommend.

Thanks for the offer.
I have already paid them the 50% so I need to finish the current Project with them.
I will send you a PM because there are other areas I want some Cabinets.

Imported a couple hundred sheets back in 2019, not looking forward to finding a new supplier once we run out

Guess you aren't willing to sell a few sheets eh? haha

Finished our basement over a couple years worth of random weekends, not fancy but I'm happy with how it turned out. Also added a storage/freezer room and bathroom not pictured.

**nismodrifter** · 12-04-2023, 10:41 PM

Looks great!

**BerserkerCatSplat** · 12-04-2023, 10:48 PM

Thanks! It certainly took longer than expected but well worth it I think. Got a lot of compliments on the ceiling, it's the Embassy kit you can get from Costco or Lowes - was surprisingly easy to put up solo. Highly recommended.

**ThePenIsMightier** · 12-04-2023, 10:57 PM

^We also went with the Embassy one. Completely the current choice.

Thought it'd be cool for us DIYers to post before and after photos of projects we've done around the house.
It'll also open up the conversation if anybody needs any advice on their ongoing projects.

I'll start...

Our master bathroom in our very average house.
Everything is 100% custom, vanity started off from raw lumbar, it's Douglas Fir from BC that we had drying in storage for about 15 years.
Inside of the cabinets are made out of Baltic Birch plywood from Russia, all hardware is Blum Tip On.

With the shower I'm particularly proud of the "zero" slope base we cut into the floor, as well as how the glass perfectly follow the grout line on the floor.

Currently doing the entire interior of the house so I will have other photos to share in the coming month or two:

Looks great! What tile do you have in the shower?

A few years ago, added a window to the basement bedroom. Never again. Did it all without water to keep the dust down because I did t want to take up the carpet or do more drywall repair than th minimum. Holding the concrete saw in all the dust SUCKED all by myself.
Will get some completed pics tomorrow. Funny I don't have any

Second the pita comment.
I think the pros take up more soil to get the saw in there.
What saw and blade did you use? I think you can rent a concrete saw.
