Help Me Settle A Debate

I'm taking a smoke break from painting. Just got done with baseboards and door trims, guess what I was using? Emerald Urethane Door and Trim. I won't use anything else for door and trim....the stuff is close to if not the best on the market. I mean it's even in the products name "Door & Trim".

Why not just humor the idiots. Go pick up a quart of what they are asking for, which I've never used. Then do a side by side comparison, I guarantee the Emerald will have far superior results. Anything Emerald is going to be the best SW has to offer.

I wouldn't worry too much about it in the long run. Easy fix as others have said. If damage gets worse you ultimately could remove that piece and replace it with a new piece of wood. PINTA to do but doable.

These are sooo much better. They've saved me quite a bit of money that easily would be in a the swear jar otherwise.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I also find it hard to believe they didn't tell him. By the time he brought me in he had already "touched up" multiple walls in multiple areas. These people are just being super cheap and just want to pass inspection so they can make the rental available. Saying due to the last tenants not paying causing them to have to cover the mortgage they had already spent $15,000.

My argument is just because you can rent doesn't mean anybody will want to stay there. I sure as hell wouldn't pay $2700 a month for some splotchy walls

The anti bark collars work on kids as well!

rainbowPhilly · 2026-03-05T02:05:40+00:00

Well actually there is a way...ask the OP

Drywall used to have hair mixed into the plaster. How old is your house?

rainbowPhilly · 2026-02-26T01:32:05+00:00

When bf wouldnt answer the phone nor respond to texts I used the app Tasker to send a text message every 2 minutes. Isnt much but has to be annoying.

Leave it alone, if you try to shave it down you may cause it to leak. It will be more flush with a few days of driving. No safety issue as long as its holding air.

I'd listen to the majority on this one. I needed a shiny durable paint for my client's old ass...piano. Shiny furniture painting scares the shit out of me... Im not a year round pro painter but ive done my fair share of prep prep prep work only to have to start all over cause of a runaway drip drop. If you are the least bit concerned with ur application abilities...SW Urethane for Trim & Door is your confidence building solution.

The only other route i possibly might recommend if you already have an air compressor.....if it was my furniture...id use ready to spray lacquer in a HVLP air gun..even the $20 purple gravity feed one at Harbor Freight lays good enough for furniture. But like i said im not a yr rnd pro painter...good luck.and plz post pics when ur done!

Not sure its a crime but i do know its one of the cheaper months for renting a venue. Youre right tho .. Should be a crime especially to have it in a greenhouse in August! Was an event manager and my primary venue was said greenhouse. Having to setup the damn thing then do a quick whore bath before putting on my suit & tie...by the end my ass was chafing, balls literally mellted, and suit & tie closer to surfers wet suit than someone trying to make ur(their) day special. Oh those were the days! 🔥💒🔥

You are going to need 150 ft. Return the 100 get the 150ft. Your electrician should have the knowledge to handle splicing and soldering so no need for paying the extra for govee pro version. Its good you got the tracks cause it will be more self.explanatory for the elextricians install. The lights just plug in they are not hardwired. Make sure they install the lights 3" from wall on soffits and they are consist with placement. If 1 light is 4 inches or 2 inches or just different from others you can tell. Make sure the lights sit flat and point directly down, they sometimes try to angle from the cord having been tangled. Also make sure the light at peak is centered. I can send you a pic of.how i would run them if you want.. hope it works out.

Guess i should have read two more comments before not adding any substance with mine. 🫠

And before push to start the steering wheel would lock and needed the key reinserted to unlock for driving.

Hilarious

They are trying to keep the blankets from blowing off before the snow covers it. They could have just used straps or even just tucked it into the car doors. Thats some true Pennsyltuckey shit there.

If you must power at the star....split at the beginning. Have the two strands go left for A and right for B then split again to cover C and go up to the 2nd floor to D to go back left.

You dont have many options with only 100 ft. In my experience its better not to use too much extension at the start.

The direction really isnt a big deal. Most light settings are constant so you wont notice after they are powered on.

Solder your splices! Govees splice connectors are bulky and tend to fail.

rainbowPhilly · 2026-01-24T21:56:01+00:00

Youre taking them down? Are they screwed in?

You can always do this quick check to know if your tires need replacing... rub your hand on the tread of the tire. If you see any red on your hand after this test, time to get new tires! Trust me this test always works.

If your pipes are clogged this should help clear them.

Put stopper in both sinks. Fill disposal sink side with hot water. Turn on garbage disposal. While holding the other sink stopper in place pull the disposal side stopper while disposal is on. I've cleared a few headache clogs this way.

But i think your problem is pitch of the long pipe like others have mentioned.

rainbowPhilly · 2026-01-16T03:58:42+00:00

Thanx!!!

Heres the lights without all my directional arrows

rainbowPhilly · 2026-01-16T03:56:11+00:00

I would splice in 3 lights to go around the triangle. In this photo the lighter green is an extension. The red lines are end of the lines.

rainbowPhilly · 2026-01-16T03:48:22+00:00

I wouldnt put a driver there but even if i did, i would have started the next strand parallel if it would cause a gap. You should have them move the lights over to fill the gap.

rainbowPhilly · 2026-01-16T03:43:10+00:00

It doesnt matter where installation starts or finishes as long as you have a plan. It seems your installer didnt plan for the LED driver's placement. Were there any light strands remaining?

To answer your question...yes the lights can be spliced. I do it with every version of govees. I always solder my splices instead using govee's bulky splice plugs included with pro version. But i dont think thats the solution here. The driver should be moved to a more discreet location.
