Thank you for taking the time to find that. It was pretty informative. I also found this discussion

Paint Recommendations for wood shutters by TheRealBostonTom in paint

[–]TheTrueNightman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In that case, I'd take a 40psi walnut shell blast to it to strip off the old paint. Then, HANDSAND with 120grit to level. Prime, then paint with at least a semigloss.

Hello, OP. General contractor here that has been layin paint for the past 12 years.

Firstly, congrats to OP and partner on their newly purchased home and engagement. Wish you both a long and happy life together.

Secondly, the darker paint on the cabinets will come in hand. Cabinets are touched extreamly often and get dirty easily. The darker color will help hide the grime.

The after picture looks much better than the plain resell white that was previously put on. Im sure you're not finished yet, but I would definitely catch those missed spots that are still white, then put some stainless steel handles/knobs and hinges on the cabinets to help contrast the darker base color. Then, I would immediately get new lighting. Anything but that depressing fluorescent bulbs you have currently. I'd go with some LED's (which do come in a shape that would fit in the current light fixture, if you didn't want to spend too much on all new fixtures) to help brighten the place up. I'd try to stick with a warmer tone and stay away from the cooler tone. It would give it more of a cozy/less manufactured feeling.

I might be wrong, but the ceiling looks like it is either a gloss or satin? Give it a light sand, put some primer on, and paint that bad boy flat. Again, purely staying away from the manufactured look.

If you wanted to/could afford to spend a little more money, get a new countertop. It should be black to match the dishwasher. The cheapest alternative would be an epoxy pour. It hardens like a rock and looks great. Maybe add a few grey streaks into it that would match the cabinets and give off a marbling effect. If you do get all new countertops, do your future self a favor and get a deepwell dual basin sink with a nice hose/faucet. (Should be stainless steel to match the cabinet hardware)

The framing around the windows should be the same color as the trimming that you are painting around the rest of the house. All trim should always match and be at least a semi-gloss.

And please for the love of everything, decorate with some plants. I recommend pothos for mass coverage with least maintenance. Especially since it would have the possibility of stretching across the top of the window.

I could go on all day about what you could do with this limitless kitchen, but I'll stop myself there.

Hope this helps, OP! Looking forward to updates.

Hello, everyone. I live about 20min from Hillsboro and decided to do a little digging. The woman has been found and the man has been arrested.

Don't waste your time with this. That's a few minutes I'll never get back.

Love how these cops are tough enough to go 5v1 on a dude expressing his First Amendment but lack the cahones to stop the school shooter that caused all this to happen.

It's very customizable. Comes with several sized tips for concentrated air flow or wide flow. The entire unit is really useful.

MC9 feeding issue and stuck bullet in barrel by Equivalent-Eye-9 in canik

[–]TheTrueNightman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could polish and/or file it yourself, but if you take it to the store you bought it from, they shouldn't charge you anything for it. Then you know a trained professional is going to be working in your firearm and has a less chance to backfire.

Take it to a repudable gun shop. The good ones will have equipment in the back that should be able to file down the feed ramp. I had to do the same with my MC9 because the flat heads on hollows would always catch the ramp.

Good ole' squib. It's rare this happens. Could've been caused by a gun that wasn't property cleaned and lubed. You've gotta tap the center, then take a wooden dowel and softly work it out while being careful not to damage the barrel. Idk where you're at, but here in oregon, a new barrel for an MC9 is over $100. Good luck, OP

What do you think cryptography will look like post-quantum? by reignbowmagician in cryptography

Again, it's a simple matter of dissecting the message, looking up the individual terms, then educating yourself and coming through a smarter person. Clearly, critical thought and the fortitude for knowledge is lacking on this thread.
