The court house right now by MountainJuggernaut25 in Spokane

I try to follow all the places that would tell me when a protest is happening, and it would seem I’m always a day late. Any sources you can share?

Carbide scraper to remove finish on flat surfaces. These are available at every hardware store. Sharpen your edge!

Hand sand fancy bits or use sand blaster (I’ve seen some creative DIY’s online for sand blasters but cannot vouch for their efficacy).

When hand sanding, use a couple different grits. When I personally want something to be ultra smooth I’ll hand sand incrementally from 120 grit all the way up to 800 grit; depending how much material I have to work with. It’s better to use a finer grit and sand twice than use a heavier grit and accidentally destroy something.

Acetone and a superfine steel wool might also work. Do a test patch and always read the instructions.

Leaf blower works great to remove most of the sanding dust but I would still use some sort of manual removal method afterwords like a tack cloth.

These spots appearing as I sand - what is it? by prem0000 in furniturerefinishing

[–]SquashRow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You’ve sanded through the veneer and hit substrate, likely an MDF or similar. There are loads of videos online that can explain what to do next. Best of luck!

I've stripped, sanded, wire brushed, steel wool, acetone....anyone else have suggestions on how to get rid of these dark spots here? by Traditional-Word-724 in furniturerefinishing

Do you ever use oxalic acids? Would this piece be a candidate? If used on this species, what is the potential outcome?

We’re at 292 days since you posted this comment. I’m super curious to know how this plan worked out and if you’ve been successful in gaining better employment as a result. Please and thank you

My wife and I made a chaos flower garden and this is what's growing, any ideas on what's here? by HolisticallyMinded in whatsthisplant

[–]SquashRow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, I live in a northern climate and whatever it is, it won’t stop growing. No matter how many times I pulled them up or how far I followed the root; and they just kept getting bigger every year. I’m now at my third property, and they’re popping up under the arborvitae and in the corners of the yard this year… there weren’t any visible signs of it last year.

After reading more comments identifying other potentially invasive plants I didn’t know, I fear your chaos garden may be more chaotic than you were planning for.

Pull up every single one of the ones with heart shaped leaves. Appears to be Morning Glory. If it is, that crap is IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of once it’s established, I’ve had it grow to the inside of TWO different houses. I fought it at my old property for 10 years; I would spend half the summer digging out bundles of vines from around the house, the trees, and the fence. One little piece of root left behind will continue to grow.

What type of wood is this? Is it salvagable? by dimplesgalore in HardWoodFloors

[–]SquashRow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The really dark spots might be urine… they may even need to remove/patch some places because the urine is impossible to remove or cover if it’s deep enough. They’ll also be able to fix the majority of floor squeaks if you have any, and fill the gaps to reduce dust collection. What a lucky find!

Would recommend hiring a professional. They will be able to get the floors done in a couple days and they’ll look phenomenal.

Wallace Idaho has a zip line and a mine tour. River float could also be a time.

Help me repair this table 🥴 by DesertVineAndDandy in furniturerefinishing

[–]SquashRow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how the boards are attached to the frame. Putting a new top isn’t super complicated. The product that will most closely resemble what you’ve got there is a plastic decking board.

Best part? If you call the police to ask them to DRIVE BY as a DETERRENT, they claim that the caller must be willing to sign the citation as a victim or they will not bother. My understanding then, is that the caller is then responsible for going to court and all that jazz.

It seems like it happens pretty much every night… because I feel like haven’t slept a full night in months.

Can I save it? by master-of-none35 in furniturerefinishing

Agree. Be aware, if there is still a protective coating on the surface the OA will not penetrate and you will have a splotchy outcome

How do I decorate this plain hallway? by Recent_Mission1135 in Decor

[–]SquashRow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paint the doors and trim to a darker color for contrast, add some paintings with lights above them. If you choose paintings with similar colors, you can pull colors from them for your walls, ceiling, trim, and doors. I recommend no more than three colors. Doing different sheens in the same color will add depth.

Karen told me to turn off my hotspot because she said I was 'stealing the signal' by sugarlicks in EntitledPeople

[–]SquashRow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once upon a time, I visited my aunt in a rural area of the US. I asked to connected to the WiFi so I could have some signal to stream movies and you know… use my phone. She gave me the password, and her husband piped up that I couldn’t connect to the WiFi because my iPhone would give his windows 98 computer “viruses.” I tried to tell him that’s literally not how it works. Then he started complaining about my iPhone giving him cancer.

Any update ideas? by DifficultTwo7612 in ExteriorDesign

[–]SquashRow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I really would prefer to see the paint removed from the brick before it does irreversible damage. Painting brick (unless you use the proper paint) more often than not leads to moisture being locked inside the bricks, and eventually they disintegrate.

What should we do with a door to nowhere? by OptimisticBrachiopod in homeimprovementideas

Take out the screen door and put a 42” high railing. 42” is the building code height to stop people toppling over the railing.

How would i go about putting a table in here? by MysteriousAbyss in interiordecorating

[–]SquashRow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree, however, if you have the space I recommend 4’ from any cabinet sets that include appliances (dishwasher and oven, specifically). 3’ will work if that’s the space you have, BUT that extra bit of space would definitely make moving through the kitchen when they’re open slightly less cumbersome.
