That stuff and a chisel are all I use everyday

2017-07-28 23:19:30 UTC  

Would you guys say carpet or floor tile is better? I have dogs no kids

2017-07-29 01:18:37 UTC  

@whitelash1488#3099 Depends on where it's going in the house, and whatever look you're going for.

2017-07-29 01:19:17 UTC  

Mhmm

2017-07-29 01:19:31 UTC  

What room is it going in?

2017-07-29 01:19:39 UTC  

Living room

2017-07-29 01:19:50 UTC  

man how about laminate flooring?

2017-07-29 01:22:03 UTC  

you can achive a lot of different looks with laminate. It's durable and really easy to install.

2017-07-29 01:22:18 UTC  

Good thanks!

2017-07-29 01:22:53 UTC  

I have no experience in carpentry and I just moved into my own house

2017-07-29 01:23:08 UTC  

laminate is going to be cheaper than tile, and you can probably get it the exact same look.

2017-07-29 01:39:50 UTC  

Ignore that cat, but this is a bamboo laminate.

You say ignore that cat as if it's not wearing a tie...

2017-07-29 02:04:17 UTC  

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.

2017-07-29 02:45:47 UTC  

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.

2017-07-29 03:09:58 UTC  

@RevStench#3208 Wow thanks! I'll have to save up and get ahold of you! I love IE everyone's so helpful and kind

2017-07-29 03:10:30 UTC  

I'm 23 and a newer home owner so I'm excited to make the place look nice

2017-07-29 22:37:05 UTC  

This is tile in a bathroom.

Finished this one, pretty basic but might be a good lesson to start with

2017-07-30 21:33:17 UTC  

Nice!

2017-07-30 21:47:19 UTC  

Nice bro, looks good. Here's a great little chart to help with how high thing's should be.

2017-07-30 21:52:20 UTC  

That's pretty wild where did you get that chart at? Is that something that you got at work

2017-07-31 01:29:21 UTC  

@Deleted User I honestly can't remember. It was on my phone from Dec 2015. Not from work, but it's a good one.

2017-07-31 01:47:24 UTC  

@Alexander B. - SC looks sharp

2017-07-31 16:24:23 UTC  

Painting today. Anyone interested in learning how to paint like a boss? No tape cut in?

2017-07-31 16:40:09 UTC  

Yup

2017-07-31 16:40:23 UTC  

I'm actually talented at cutting for some strange reason

2017-07-31 17:25:36 UTC  

Yeah go for it, should be interesting to see

2017-07-31 21:07:47 UTC  

First thing, you pull paint no smear. It's like using a file, one direction.
You dip your paint brush in the paint. Wipe one side off using the lip of the can.

2017-07-31 21:14:11 UTC  

You paint with one side of the brush, pulling the paint.

2017-07-31 21:15:33 UTC  

To hold, grip the brush really low on the brush, using your fingers to make the bristles stiff.

2017-07-31 21:22:07 UTC  

Take your time and pull the paint. Steady hands

2017-07-31 21:31:44 UTC  

It all comes down to how you hold it. I use the 3 fingers on the bristles to stiffen them for better control.
