@Der Seeteufel - SD You're not done with the hand rails are you? No spindles, balusters, newel post?
Let me ask you a question, why did you reuse that old timber?
Sorry if I come off as a dick, but I take great pride in my work, and as a finish carpenter I follow behind skippy the butcher almost everyday.
@Der Seeteufel - SD I'm not calling you a hack haha. I would like to help you "church" that stair set up.
Yeah it's all old wood
or I guess not old but stuff that we had in a barn. It's probably stuff left over from a deck that was built 3 or 4 years ago
Oh ok. I thought you went and bought new wood and reused this couple pieces that are stained.
Lets talk about that handrail though. At least add a newel post on the end.
I could probably do that pretty easily. I don't have many tools though. The only powertools I had for this was a circular saw and a drill.
I would have to buy pre-made newel posts
It's worth it
I don't use a lot of power tools
That's my bread and butter
The guy I work for started doing carpentry before power tools were accessible to everyone. I do tons of work without power tools
That stuff and a chisel are all I use everyday
Would you guys say carpet or floor tile is better? I have dogs no kids
@whitelash1488#3099 Depends on where it's going in the house, and whatever look you're going for.
Mhmm
What room is it going in?
Living room
you can achive a lot of different looks with laminate. It's durable and really easy to install.
Good thanks!
I have no experience in carpentry and I just moved into my own house
laminate is going to be cheaper than tile, and you can probably get it the exact same look.
Ignore that cat, but this is a bamboo laminate.
You say ignore that cat as if it's not wearing a tie...
haha it was Sunday, he was getting ready for church.
@whitelash1488#3099 if you're looking to change the look of a room relatively inexpensively, you can add chair rails, picture rails, crown molding, or wainscoting to the walls. Adding 5 1/4in baseboard, if you don't already have it, can make a big difference to a room. And I can teach you scarf joints and mitered coping joints!
Here's a house I added crown, a chair rail and we added I think the baseboard was something like 8inches.
Oh this is vinyl, it looks great too. There are a ton of options for flooring.
You could literally have the hardwood floor look in every room, using laminate, vinyl and tile.
The only place I like carpet is in the bedrooms.
@RevStench#3208 Wow thanks! I'll have to save up and get ahold of you! I love IE everyone's so helpful and kind
I'm 23 and a newer home owner so I'm excited to make the place look nice
This is tile in a bathroom.
@Whitelash bro we can help you
*Identity Evropa: You can do it. We can help.*
Finished this one, pretty basic but might be a good lesson to start with
Nice!
Nice bro, looks good. Here's a great little chart to help with how high thing's should be.
That's pretty wild where did you get that chart at? Is that something that you got at work
