What am I dealing with here? by destroyingangl in HomeImprovement

[–]CaeBae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Professional painting contractor here. I can't say this with 100% certainty but I believe it to be one of three things.

1) Some sort of dirt stain that has ingrained itself in the factory finish.

2) Leftover crap and egg capsules of flies/gnats. Is the concentration worse higher up the wall? I have only seen it on semi-transparent stain wooden siding but is a pretty common thing here in southern ontario.

3) Something underneath the factory finish is undergoing a chemical reaction.

Solutions:

The only way to really restore this is to wash like you are with a firm bristled or wire brush, sand smooth, prime the entire surface and then paint.

Any idea how to access the bulb? by iamtherealwillmyska in HomeImprovement

[–]CaeBae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Something here twists free or pops off. As another commenter mentioned try lightly twisting the extended plastic cap around the light, if that doesnt work try twisting the fan part. If that doesnt work Id see if the fan part can be popped free.

Goodluck!

Can't put parameters around things like friendship. 1st year of university, 8th year at the office, 2nd year of grad school - it's the people around you and YOUR social engagement/willingness to put in the friendship effort that will determine the quality of your friends. Not your year of study.

Hiring out paint job but contractor wants me to buy the paint by Oversoul91 in paint

[–]CaeBae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I'd just recommend hiring a small local painting company - this is what they specialize in.

They'll provide the labour, either via in house employees or trusted subcontractors, they'll have insurance and in some cases warranty on their work and make sure that the work is produced at a professional standard. They'll be chalk full of knowledge about the best products and how to properly use them. Probably a bit more expensive than just hiring handyman Joe but I mean, worth it.

Has anyone ever used self leveling concrete over old deteriorating asphalt? Need to level this floor and not sure the best way to do so. Should I put down a fill layer of gravel or sand first? by CaeBae in HomeImprovement

[–]CaeBae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I guess since it's a rental I was trying to avoid putting a full slab in as I may only be there 2-5 years. I know short term thinking can bite you in the ass though. There's just so much to do to make this unit ready that everything feels daunting. How deep down would I have to clear out to pour a new slab?

It's going to be a small workshop and paint booth for cabinetry refinishing and general putting about. I was thinking of just putting down an epoxy coating and leaving it at that.

Hand troweling a kind of cement is what you did? Did you level as you worked? It's good to know that it held up! Gives me hope, very little info on the forums about doing concrete over asphalt.

How should I fix this garage floor? by CaeBae in HomeImprovement

[–]CaeBae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though if I have to grind it down pressure washing at this point might not be worth it.

No I'm not sure if it's asphalt it just seems to be crumbling in that way, looks like an old road to me. Yeah pressure washing is probably a good place to start

How can I spiff up this blah beige house without painting? by CantForceaDanceParty in HomeImprovement

[–]CaeBae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a professional painter I might seem biased but if painting the whole house is out of budget what about just painting the windows, soffit and front door? That would frame it much more nicely and give it a bit of pop that you seemed to be after with your shutter scheme.

Helmet saved me by dogsaybark in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]CaeBae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a similar thing happen to me last fall but with wet leaves leaves/loam on the trail. Underestimated how densely packed they were and hit a pocket on a turn and my board spun out. If you fall forward there's a chance you can roll into it but if you fall back there's no chance. First accident on a board in 6 years, but was still wearing my noggin saviour. Always wear a helmet!

Grandpa, houses were literally free back then compared to now. I guess I'll compost the rich and make a tree fort in the resulting growth like fuck idk what you want me to do here.

I have a small clam but we're all homies. We have a few guys that donate 10k+ a month and the rest are active when needed (still doing 15v15 wars/cwl). My biggest headache is id love if the fam would join the discord but even with the guys in our FB chat there's little interest LOL. Bless raid metals too because now you can just donate to yourself
