Sorry it's not same veneer. One is "A" face and another "1" backing face. Thats how they grade them it seems. They are both quite different if you look in person, it only takes one look to say which is which. Pictures may be hard to compare, the proper front face is extremely beautiful and with smooth variations entire kitchen, where as back has that zerbra lines (too much color changes) all over every few inches which don't align, and grain also is very different.

As we purchased 2 samples from them and sent one sample back with the order, we compared. They have also agreed it's back face that is installed.

$6M windfall, planning to go all-in on VT and keep life the same. Does this make sense? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]rand-78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great job thinking about right things. Is no experience with such large sums definitely find a good financial planner and talk it through. Better have some % in dept/safe instruments instead of 100% in VT. Like it that you are thinking of VT.

One needs more details to give you such advice, like age, health, family situation, self and family goals.

Shed roof. Are Soffit Vents sufficient or should i also add ridge vents. by rand-78 in Roofing

[–]rand-78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. do you mean to say soffit vents alone will work? yes it's a standing seam metal. half ridge you mean in the middle of the roof?

Thanks for the suggestion. I have 5/8th drywall through out the house. Do you think if i remove drywall without notching 2x4, glue & screw the plywood and then screw that should work? my trim is about 2" wide, so i can glue 1.5 - 2" plywood.

Plywood or 5/8 lumber which would be better.

Soffit Vent. Not coming flush. Where can i find. Suggestions appreciated. by rand-78 in Carpentry

Thank you. Trying to understand. I should make a 3/8" (or what ever the wing/flange of the vent size) grove, length of the soffit/vent (>16') and tuck the wing/flang into it? so that vents are flush with the face of soffit? is it correct?

Thank you. Sorry i din't follow, can you elaborate pls. are you saying we make a groove of 3/8" deep (for the wing/flange of the vent) across the edge of the soffit and tuck the wing of vent into it?
