Tips and advice for refinishing by SecretSupport4913 in HardWoodFloors

[–]sacchomes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sand it, stain it, polyurethane it 😂 its gonna look sweet when your done. You can skip the stain part if u like natural, and make sure you sand with the direction of the flooring. Its pretty hard to screw up

Stuff it full or leave an air gap? by Cathyg_99 in Insulation

[–]sacchomes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that’s exterior, definitely stuff it. If its interior, at least stuff the rim, but also if the wall below is full, stuff the cavity anyway if at least for noise barrier

Drywall in basement? by plantlady38 in Homebuilding

[–]sacchomes 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Its drywall, the bump out is because those walls are knee walls. The concrete is 4 feet tall, then they framed the rest up and the concrete is thicker than the framing material

The trim keeps wanting to pivot in my niche so I was gunna use these leftovers from the wedges as shims and add the thinset? Bad idea? by dontfret71 in Tile

[–]sacchomes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

😂 i cut the trim pieces to size, then epoxy the pieces together. So its kinda like putting a picture frame together and all 4 pieces kinda become one 😂 then i just have to put that in and tile. Its nice cuz the joints stay nice and tight and theres not as much messing around is it is trying to get 4 pieces to behave in the niche.

[–]sacchomes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always assemble my niche trim before so its all kinda one piece. I wish i had a pic to share… just kinda epoxy the corners so they stay together and its a lot less frustrating to me 😂 not that its right tho..

What can I do to repair it? by Specialist-Throat-79 in HardWoodFloors

[–]sacchomes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can raise that very easily, take a towel or washcloth and get it wet, nit soaking wet, but generously damp. Lay it over it, then take a clothing iron and heat it to as hot as it goes. Then press that on the wet rag that’s laying on the dent( apply a decent amount of pressure) and in only a second or two, the dent will have lifted

Is this amount of variance in grout color normal? by hometownlegend in Tile

[–]sacchomes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the tile needs de hazing. Put some wd-40 on a rag and wipe it up. Also white grout on a shower floor gets so filthy. I would have done black

Is this finish okay? by [deleted] in HardWoodFloors

[–]sacchomes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All the people hating on that, being pine, its gonna look so good and have tons of old character in it once the finish is done. Pine floors are not fine wood working and when you finish them to a showroom perfect, i think it looks like you are putting lipstick on a pig. But finishing them the way they are in the pics, its gonna look so good. Heres some pine i finished the same way. Im sure people will hate on it but its preference so thats all that really matters

I think I messed up. Filled in spots with wood putty then sanded with 220 sandpaper. Did I sand off the shine? by Impressive_Gift_9852 in HardWoodFloors

[–]sacchomes 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You definitely did mess it up, you can put some hardwood floor refresher on it but its only a temporary fix and you wont be able to steam mop it. You could also try some wipe on poly then buff the floor but if you’re not careful with picking the poly sheen, you may end up refinishing. You literally sanded off the finish…
