Thanks brother. I do my best.
I liked the spinal tap referenceđ
haha I figure that these things are boring so it needed to be a little fun to read
These we're turned into leaded glass sometime in the 1850s, pretty sweet. Hamline Chapel, Lawrenceburg, IN
I restored one of these. I don't have any pictures of the sash I did. But it's the first one on the right when you go through the front door, if anyone is interested haha.
Sorry I haven't been active here. We don't really have anything fun right now, I'm busy but everything big wrapped up and we picked up a job restoring more than 40 sets of windows. So that is going to take some time. I've been breaking down windows and stripping paint for the last week.
@RevStench hey I got a decent drywall patch lesson/pics ready to go should I post here? A lot of people need to patch holes etc and itâs super easy but they donât know how. Not carpentry but still helpful building skill
Drywall work is a pain!
It's dirty, too. I'm pretty happy I picked electrical, it's the easiest on your body.
Till you get lit up you mean
That stuff hurts
@Deleted User yeah bro, go ahead. I'll figure out how to move it into lessons after you finish.
Thanks. That's good stuff to know how to do.
Ok everybody. Patching some drywall with the âhot patchâ method. This is only one way to do it but you donât have to buy those kits and works just as good if youâve got a scrap piece of drywall laying around:
Thatâs the hole we wanna patch. Youâll need these tools plus some drywall and mud
Measure the size of the hole. In this case itâs approx 3.5â the size of a coffe top
Outline around the size of the hole about an inch in every direction
Then cut out the bigger outline
Flip the piece over and draw your true patch size on The backside
Then cut out everything on that line. You can make straight cuts like so and fold then peel away the sheet rock leaving the paper
Then peel off the excess by going all the way around.
Should end up looking like this
Now use that piece to plug the hole but BEFORE YOU DO put fresh mud around the outside of the hole on the wall so the paper has something to stick to. (Donât have photos of the mud) I
Make sure there is mud underneath the paper
Then you take a drywall knife and spread it out
Put mud over the entire patch if it is small enough
Make sure you have a nice ever coat
Let dry and knock the ridges down with a drywall knife. You may have to do a second coat, repeat the knife to knock down ridges, then sand and your done
@Deleted User nice one bro. That's something everyone can use. I've patched a few holes and dents in apartments I've lived in, gotta get that deposit back.
Hey @Deleted User how I do move this into lessons?
