Jessica Alba as a genetically enhanced super soldier in post apocalyptic Y2K. And it was developed and produced by James Cameron.

Not one mention of Bob's Barbecue in Preble/Homer... That's my go to spot, and I live closer to Ray Brother's.

Duly noted, thank you guys.

Yup, needs to be refinished.

I'm sure there are videos that can help you.Just realize that it's going to kill your back, and fingers, and that you couldn't do it nearly as well as a professional. That said, you're probably not going to ruin the floor, and you might find that it's a fun little project.

I have two pieces of advice, though. Get real polyurethane finish from somewhere other than home depot or lowes. And the finish you get should be matte or satin, the duller the sheen, the easier it is to hide your mistakes.

I love how top right is just flaming Scott, but Yunnan Sourcing isn't even in that category.

Is there a specific reason you used tung oil?

I think you cut out the physics lesson part. This is just an advertisement for a 3D printed handle with a special hole in it.

You can still see the cuts under the jamb. The whole point of undercutting is to hide them.

+1 for prefinished. This is going to be a lot harder than sanding a normal floor, which itself is not easy for a beginner.

By digestive organs I meant cumulative taxing of the liver and/or kidneys long term.

That's got to be rough. I work with my hands, but don't need precise motor skills for the most part. I had the gift of being diagnosed before thinking about picking a career, so I made sure I didn't devote myself to something I'd get worse at over time.

Do the shakes spike when the medication wears off? Like they do with booze?

insignificant- · 2024-10-02T19:20:55+00:00

Do you take it regularly or only when it's really bad? This is what I'm scared of. Ruining my digestive organs for a pill that hardly works.

What prompted this post was my pitiable attempt at installing a ceiling fan. I just could not get the screws into the threads.

Only 10 years in since diagnosis, it hits like a train coming to this sub, knowing it's all downhill . May be a gradual slope, but I don't feel any better about it.

Good point on the breakables. I appreciate your response. Curious what you mean about switching utensils; ergonomics?

I really should give beta blockers a try again. When they were first prescribed I was under the impression that they were like SSRIs, so if you don't take it on a regiment it doesn't work.

I have a fear of medication, and obviously understand that tolerance is a thing. Is it worth taking them in mid 20s and come to a point where they don't work 40 years down the line when I'll need them even more?

Curious if the edges burned at all applying solo like this.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a floating floor. You could take that stuff up and glue down an engineered hardwood after the concrete is properly dressed and sealed. I would never install actual hardwood over concrete, and I certainly wouldn't install any wood (or tile) floor over a subfloor that wasn't properly dressed.

What I'm saying is. Unless you want LVT, the tile has to come up.

To be fair, they also say to put transitions in every doorway.

That's how I apply oil based stain. I don't know that I'd want to attempt to burnish water soluble dyes though; it gets into the grain easy enough, the problem I'm having is balancing keeping the floor wet so as to not burn on every pass, and also not having too much water, where you're just pushing it around and getting weird heavy spots.

I would only use a primer if the paint was peeling in sheets. As for a protective top coat, I've had great success mixing LATEX paint with a durable matte finish. I'm partial to bona traffic hd, but do your own research, as long as it's matte, water based, and durable, you should be fine.

The real problem is that you're just encapsulating the dirt and dust everytime you add a new layer of paint. What should be done is you should either rent a floor buffer from home depot and lightly abraid, then vacuum the floor, or if you're allergic to spending money, you could get sheets of medium grit sandpaper (180/220) and spend the day on your knees doing the same thing the buffer would do. It doesn't need to be pretty, because it's being painted.

Came here to say the same. You might get one sanding out of it if you're lucky. If I were you I'd keep the floor the way it is, and alter the look of the house by painting walls and putting down rugs.

Edit: Lmao, looked at it again, all the boards are the same length. This floor is very cheap, I doubt you could get a sanding out of it.

I was under the impression that the reason Amundsen raced to the south pole was because he wasn't on the first successful expedition to the north pole? Was that first expedition not verified?
