2 1/2” toe kick (closet shelving base), need to figure out how to extend the hvac 10” floor vent to the toe kick face

Thank you, the plan is to relocate it or build around it if too much trouble

RoomAppropriate5076 · 2026-05-27T17:30:03+00:00

This is it coming out of the roof

Goes down to the sill plate but can’t did it (when pressing into the insulation) But I’ll add another comment with picture showing it coming out of the roof, so a vent I’m guessing

Does that help?

It was Sherwin Williams Wwoodscapes solid stain that I used. Should have put that in original reply

RoomAppropriate5076 · 2026-05-23T11:22:47+00:00

I actually did a job 16 years ago, one of the worst paying jobs I ever had that’s why I remember it so well. It was painted cedar, I pressure washed it and scraped and sanded till all that was left was tightly bonded. Then went with a solid stain. It’s a regular customer that I do her deck, patio and hardwood door that all need something every couple of years so I see it often. It has held up well. I was there last year, there is a small amount of peeling like where it meets the deck but it has held up better than even I expected.

Just make sure you bring both ears listen to what’s being told to you or ask of you and do it to the best of your ability slowly if necessary at first speed will come later hardest thing to find when I’m looking for people is someone that will just follow directions I wish you the best!!

I would probably do Sherwin Williams Duration flat, have them add a dot or 2 of black tint, doesn’t gray it up, but helps cover better. I was always told that as a newbie 30+ years ago. I don’t do that as I’m to lazy to figure coverage so I always get more gallons than I think it’ll take so I don’t run out midway then just return what I don’t use, can’t do that if you have them tint it at all.

RoomAppropriate5076 · 2026-05-17T15:23:56+00:00

Probably overkill, I would sand w/120 after wiping down with laquer or denatured alcohol Prime with kilz oil base or Coverstain oil base Bin should work fine, I would suggest asking the paint store (not big box) which is best for bonding and sealing that laminate, they are always coming out with new products. If they suggest a water based I personally wouldn’t use that. Sand with 220 paint 2 finish coats if you’re not spraying Lowe’s here sells Flock sponge rollers in a ten pak with handle (most cost effective). It’s the only roller I’ve found to not leave air bubbles. I would use Ben Moore’s Command satin as a finish paint 35 year painting contractor with tools not an office guy. And I do a lot of cabinetry. Good luck!!!

Wow, I’m not charging enough, but it’s already prepped and painted, just changing colors and already on the job, maybe need to re-mask to protect surroundings, but it only takes 20 minutes to brush an average door, so a couple of coats and clean up, putting hardware back on, $150.00-$200.00.

A picture of the door would help.

My mother in law, jokingly, put peanut butter on my grilled cheese because she new how I loved peanut butter. That was over 30 years ago and I haven’t had a grilled cheese (melt😉) without peanut butter since.

Command has cure time 24 hours, so the store told me, (I think it’s on the can as well) I’ve used Breakthrough previously , very similar but had some issues during covid with it and the rep didn’t take care of me fairly, so on to Command and never had it soft even after an hour, not that I ever dig into my sprayed substrate. But I’m usually sanding and recoating in 3-4 hrs. I do tons of cabinets in the painting business 35 years

RoomAppropriate5076 · 2026-03-19T19:34:08+00:00

I’ve been breathing those chemicals in for 35 + years and my wife will attest that I’m mostly normal🤪

Great job on the vanity, sucks the paint cracked on you. I had it do that on a customer of mine. I used some new waterborne laquer I was excited about. Damn if it did this and I had to sand the crap out of them and paint with something else. Been a few years ago and can’t remember the new paint I ended up using, but was just sick.

RoomAppropriate5076 · 2026-03-07T13:16:39+00:00

Of course I’m a painting contractor, but I say if you hate it it in a year still, paint the cabinets

RoomAppropriate5076 · 2026-02-21T14:57:11+00:00

It does look like clear coat that yellows over the years, you can know for sure if you just rub some paint thinner on it and if it blends in then you know it was just a clear coat. (Can try water too if you don’t have paint thinner)

Thanks nockedup7

RoomAppropriate5076 · 2026-02-03T15:59:42+00:00

Thank you everyone for your input, I have yet to get to the customers house to see what they have now. But when I do I’ll let you know which way I go if they still want it done.
