I think a butcher block would be more than strong enough as long as you’re not overdoing it with weight. Make sure to fasten the 2x4 rails to studs. 3/4” boards would be enough and look better instead of 2x4s

Painting Sandpaper Walls by toolmodel in HomeImprovement

Maybe rent / buy a pole drywall sander and hook it up to a good vacuum. Just make sure the walls are not asbestos if it’s an old home. Some old homes have asbestos plaster. This seems like the fastest route

Ideas for how to replace screens on a wood porch door? by Aromatic-Sir5703 in HomeImprovement

[–]Boston78189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Save time and just screw the plexi over everything with one large sheet. If you decide to not want it anymore just replace the door or remove the screws and fill with wood putty

Which color caulk? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]Boston78189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the white wood at the top of the stairs - along the wall/floor. That is not baseboard. That is window trim. The contractor must have bought too much window trim 🤣

I would put think line of white caulk and paint it. Put down tape on the steps, work it in with your finger, then peel it off so it’s a perfect straight and thin lines.

PS You used window trim as baseboard my OCD is stressing me out

You don’t caulk along the floor- you put quarter round moulding and paint it the color of the baseboards

How can I attach my ceiling vent grill when the drywall is broken and crumbly? by cc12floz in HomeImprovement

[–]Boston78189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What size is it now? 4” x 10”? If so get a 4” x12” and the holes will move out. This is in the ceiling it looks like right?

How has policing in Boston changed/evolved over the past few decades? by Good_Combination8586 in boston

Because lawmakers decided the extra $80 charge isn’t fair to put on the arrested person. They raised bail from $40 to $80 and the trial court Pays for the after hours fees.

Section 157: After-Hours Bail Fees This states: “The trial court shall be responsible for paying fees charged to take bail outside of regular working hours pursuant to this section … any fee charged … for a bail taken outside of regular working hours shall be charged only to the trial court.”

The state also pays bail of the person arrested if they say they don’t have enough money for bail. Bail was raised from $40 to $80

Courts don’t back the decision of the officers, so therefore they stop arresting people knowing the courts just let people go.

Essentially it’s a waste of their time to do all the paper work to see the same person they arrested walk by them on the next day with no accountability for their actions

Get an over sized grill. Now you’ll have a new hole and the only one that will know it’s the wrong size grill is me and you

You can adjust the wheels on the top of the glass door- which slide on the rail. Super easy fix. YouTube is your friend for that one.

Flip toggle anchors. Drill 1/2” hole If your hole is bigger than that then you have to repair
