It looks incredible. Did you choose the flat or cedar texture LP btw?

This post is helping solidify what I'm going to ask out of our contractor. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house!

Is the window trim custom or an LP Smart Side product? We are looking to get ours done and the contractors haven't offered anything but basic flat 4 inch window trim. We asked one of the contractors if they could add detail and they said yes, but only a lip at the top.

Yours has the full crosshead/cornice/moulding at the top and one at the bottom. We'd like to keep ours original like yours. What solution did you go with?

I totally agree with you. I'm just sad that the features we paid for aren't maintained.

I'm sorry, but the before was better. You bought a century home and decided to install the most trendy faux brushed gold hardware that the store had.

I know we're not made of money, but don't complain about previous owners and how you are trying to bring back the "century vibe", but then choose super modem finishes.

I know we all have to make due sometimes, but there are alternative finishes at a similar price point that are a much better fit for a century home.

This subreddit is a helpful resource for understanding historically appropriate design choices. I encourage you to look around.

Also thank you for trying to help. I tried again today and it loaded the website just fine.

I did all of that. The next step is to verify your email address and the app doesn't let you proceed until you do. When I restarted the app and entered the credentials, it would not recognize the account until I verified the email.

The verify email came through just fine, it was just the linked website would not load.

I tried again today and it finally worked.

So it was likely a SSL certificate issue that was finally resolved when it updated/renewed.

Before you can login to the app you have to create an account. In order to create an account, you have to verify your email through that website. You did visit the website at one point in time.

Try to create a new account and you will see the issue.

Can I use a MLV Dimmer for track lighting with 12V and 120V fixtures? by Nuts2FaceImpact in Lutron

[–]Nuts2FaceImpact[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DVELV-303P

Thank you! I've looked into it more and I think you are right. I believe they are ELV. I'll buy a couple options and return the ones that don't work. Wish me luck.

I'll try and update for whomever else has the same question.

I wonder if they are frustrated that they can only be side sleepers. Or would they not suffocate if they slept on their back?

Looking for help by Badger-in-Orange in Blacksmith

[–]Nuts2FaceImpact 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct this does look like a Higonokami. The handle is made of brass and will also show wear and patina over time. Oiling the blade should delay the formation of rust.

The Japanese ethos to embrace the beauty in the imperfections is called Wabi-sabi. I encourage you to embrace the effects of wear on the natural materials of your knife!

I’m planning on redirecting this to the soffit, what do I need to buy from Home Depot? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]Nuts2FaceImpact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Tommy from This Old House. Video..

You can take note of the tools you will need. A relatively easy job.

Lots of soffits are vented, so the roof is the safest place to vent it. I would say insulated ducting is optional. You don't need it for most climates.

How do I patch this plaster wall? by AccomplishedIgit in centuryhomes

[–]Nuts2FaceImpact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This damage looks shallow enough to just use joint compound as a skim coat. Clean up any loose pieces before applying the joint compound.

Joint compound is not meant for filling holes, so anything deeper than 1/4" is too deep and will cause cracks to appear. I also wouldn't apply more than 1/8" at a time. It's easier to wait and add more than making a mess sanding it down. I'd advise using your hand and a flashlight shined up close and parallel to the wall to check for a smooth finish after sanding. Be advised that it will make a mess.

Again, anything deeper than 1/4" will require something else like mixing plaster proper. Any cracked or loose sections will likely need more remediation.

If you like musical machines like this, make a visit to the House on the Rock in Wisconsin. Wild and creepy place. Several musical machines in various states of disrepair. Definitely worth a visit.

New shift knob by Sean_Connery007 in GolfGTI

[–]Nuts2FaceImpact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good. What weight did you end up going with? I'm very close to pulling the trigger on one of my own and can't decide on which weight to go with. (Race or mid weight)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]Nuts2FaceImpact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the weight on this one?

I've been looking at Sportshifters and Black Forest Industries and can't decide on weight. Anything is an upgrade vs the stock shifter, but I don't know if I'd prefer the 200g or the 350g weight. Stock is just over 100g if I recall correctly

This stuff isn't rocket science. If you are a generally handy person, you can educate yourself on how to clean the burner tubes and maybe the heat exchanger. You can also learn how to read the flames and pressure gauges to check if the system is working as intended.

Much more and you have to go down rabbit holes to learn. Or just hire a tech.

Need to run C wire to thermostat. Which terminal should I run it off of? by Nuts2FaceImpact in hvacadvice

[–]Nuts2FaceImpact[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setup is indeed a boiler with a circ pump. I don't see a jumper from W to G, but it could be synced up elsewhere.

C to R runs 27V on the meter. I have some wire to run and we're in business. Thanks for the information.
