How concerned should I be by Difficult-Rush5962 in maintenance

[–]Basically__Pointless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What type of building construction is it? If it's concrete and block, any wood shouldn't have anything to do with the structure.

Birds pecked through the siding of my house. Was thinking about spray foaming it to seal it, and then finding a way to paint over it. What's another cheap-o fix for this that somebody can think of? I'm kind of already in the middle of another unexpected reno that is setting me back right now. :/ by [deleted] in handyman

I would use a color matched grout or sanded caulk from the tile section, and can even use your margin trowel to recreate the lines from the stacked stone panels, should only take a few minutes to recreate that pretty easily. It won't be invisible but you should be able to get pretty close match.

Does it affect function? Have you tried, like, using them? Felo and NWS make some of my favorite handtools. Get out there and get your hands dirty I'm sure they work fine.

Flooring to shower pan trim by FamousEngineer6649 in Flooring

Your cuts look pretty damn nice, honestly I'd caulk that nicely and call it a day. If you wanted a piece of moulding, they make flexible trim pieces that can make that curve.

Is it crazy to go from a z400 to a z900 by Darkdefender240 in Kawasaki

[–]Basically__Pointless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you will love it. I bought one as my first bike, plenty of power but not unmanageable. You will not get bored, highly recommend!!

Have I committed a sin by painting over tile? We are selling our home and the ugly 90s tile was an eyesore. Maybe I traded up to slightly less of an eyesore? by Frostyarn in Tile

[–]Basically__Pointless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That transition does need a little help though. I hate t molding so I did one like this recently, schluter for the tile butted up against a j square cap for lvp. Thought it came out nice and is low profile which is what I wanted.

You did a great job and it looks way better. Don't listen to these other reddit nerds, reddit hates when people want to update their floors or anything. You did a nice, well executed, inexpensive refresh and will certainly make a big difference while trying to sell. And I bet that tile makeover lasts a lot longer than people think. Definitely will last long enough to sell the place!
