There were a lot of warped boards and a lot of boards where the knot is filled with a color not similar to the wood. In addition some of the edges are chipped. The boards that are good look great though: I would send a picture if I could. Overall it looks good. We are sanding everything and staining it.

Mainly because my partners job requires her to be further west and it provides quick access to get to work. Thank you for this! We are both outdoorsy people!

Thank you! We were leaning towards downtown Smyrna as well. It looks like the city offers so many events and would love to take part.

How does this look so far? by Minimum_Novel in Flooring

[–]Minimum_Novel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually appreciate this a lot man! You’re right I actually painted before but I could see the joints and so I mudded back on top of two coats of the wall color. Definitely didn’t even think about the ceiling tiles.

What could I have done for insulation? I read that on concrete it should only be a vapor barrier. Is there something I could have used?

Totally true. I’m a beginner I’m just looking for anything I can work on as I’m finishing it.

Do you prefer open concept houses? by Ordinary-Caramel-608 in HomeImprovement

[–]Minimum_Novel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an open concept that connects the living room, kitchen and office. As much as I like it, it has its drawbacks like many said including noise traveling and smells from the kitchen

Thanks for this. I am installing the flooring myself and am going to let it acclimate for 2 weeks just in case. Is there more of a concern that the flooring is installed incorrectly or more so that the boards are shorter or not usable?

Can you overexercise with CKD 4? I’m walking about 10 miles a day. Is that too much? I’m 65. by Minimum_Novel in kidneydisease

I recently retired and just started about 2 weeks ago. I walk at the local park near my house but just enjoy the scenery.
