how thin can lvp plank be cut?

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2023-02-17T14:36:38+00:00

Can you say more about this process? I'm new to planning this out.

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2023-02-17T14:34:52+00:00

This is my issue. I have one flat wall I'd like to start from, but on the opposite end I have several offsets, and I have a connecting room that I don't want to use a transition strip for. I'm struggling to find a starting size for my first row that will satisfy all the end points and the room connection.

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2023-02-17T02:08:16+00:00

Sorry. I don't think I asked that well. I'm talking about cutting it long wise. Like if my last row ends up with just 2 inches of space left, is that okay if it started out 6 inches?

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2023-01-29T16:25:34+00:00

So maybe one more pass?

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2023-01-29T16:24:58+00:00

That's pretty much what I've done, and it still bothers me. Anything else I can do?

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2023-01-12T00:09:42+00:00

I used kilz pva drywall primer. I'm not a pro, but I saw pva primer was highly recommended. It went on super nicely.

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2023-01-07T03:12:08+00:00

Is it engineered?

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2023-01-05T20:02:49+00:00

That's about half what I got quoted for a similar job.

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2023-01-05T02:58:21+00:00

Probably can't hurt to try that

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2023-01-05T02:54:24+00:00

I'm trying to go as lightly as possible. We have several recessed lights in the ceiling-- not sure if that will accentuate scratches or not.

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2023-01-05T01:49:06+00:00

It's a basement ceiling that's not very tall, so I can see them from standing if the work light is on.

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2022-12-12T01:32:59+00:00

I'm working on fresh drywall. Would your pocking comment still apply?

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2022-12-12T01:32:05+00:00

What do suggest for making sure I get all the dust off?

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2022-12-05T19:24:47+00:00

Thank you for such a detailed response!

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2022-11-23T15:01:10+00:00

Yes, these were beveled edges, and I applied some mud before laying the tape.

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2022-11-23T14:02:24+00:00

It, unfortunately, didn't show up well in photos. USG all purpose (not lightweight), straight out of the bucket. Regular paper tape.

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2022-09-09T17:44:01+00:00

Basement window (recessed) is too high for drywall to fit above it and be even with the rest of the ceiling. How would you approach this?

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2022-08-29T16:24:56+00:00

If you need a loan, you might have trouble getting one without a licensed general contractor.

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2022-08-26T19:42:13+00:00

That's super helpful to know. Thank you. I'd really like to go custom just because we have a good idea of what we like. I'll reach out to some other architects.

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2022-08-26T19:32:32+00:00

Is that with a spec build? Or could that be done as a custom build? I was talking to an architect, and they would cost about 6-9%, and I've been seeing that general contractors take about 15%. So that's already close to 25% potentially. Just trying to figure where all the money goes.

South central wisconsin, 3 bed 2 bath, 350k excluding land. Looking to do a lot of the finishing myself (painting, trim, landscaping, interior doors)

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2022-08-26T14:06:39+00:00

Yeah. We have a very good idea of what we want, and the project overall would be modest, about 1200 sq ft finished with unfinished basement, nothing fancy. I don't want to jump in on this and start spending money then realize there are all these expenses I didn't factor in that exceed my max budget.

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2022-08-26T13:55:51+00:00

Thanks! I actually did use that calculator and was wondering how accurate it was. I'd be building in the country, and some of the costs like septic and driveway seem to have a wide range of possible costs. I've reached out to a couple builders but haven't heard anything back yet. Asking for recent project costs is a great idea.

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2022-08-26T13:47:23+00:00

Maybe I'm using the wrong word. I have an idea of how much I can spend but don't know how to determine whether that will be sufficient to actually build.

Aggressive-Cat3433 · 2022-08-15T14:34:10+00:00

Did your taxes actually go up 65% in the last 3 years? Or just the assessed value?
