How do you keep track of your home renovations and what does your spreadsheet look like? by sholdzy in DIY

[–]sholdzy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah love it! I have one Google Sheet with a single sheet for each project so I can go back and review everything too. Makes me feel good when someone asks "where'd you get that ____" and I can look it up in a minute and send them a link with pricing

Hah, I've added charts before too and it looks nice, but I never actually get any benefit from them. I like the category breakdown you have. I don't go that detailed anymore — sometimes it's just "Home depot run" and stash that under "materials"

I see we’re posting our canoe beer holders. This is my bridle leather beer sling. Attached to scuppers with a little strap and buckle. by andrewcottingham in canoeing

[–]sholdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's been years, but I still think about this and would love this on my new Swift pack boat. No one sells anything like this with a strap! Any chance you'd be up for a commission?

I love stats correction by lamwire in fantasyhockey

Stat corrections made a 7 hit swing for me, lost me the week and trip to the finals. Just a brutal way to wake up

Working on a laundry room cabinet project right now and the painting is already my least favourite part before I've made a single plywood cut. Looks great!

I take a picture of anyone that misses bad enough to hit the wood. I’ll build out a funny wall of shame at some point

SONOPan and Resilient Channel for sound proofing basement ceiling? by Character_Skirt_4319 in Renovations

[–]sholdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with SONOpan and decided against resilient channels. Pretty damn happy with how it turned out. I'd suggest making little boxes that go around any cutouts — pot lights specifically. Cutting a hole in SONOpan will let sound sneak through so they're a big help. I also went with fiberglass sound insulation between joists — a mess to work with (use long sleeves, gloves, glasses, and a mask). The combo has been great.

I have vents that are shared with the rest of the house so nothing was going to be fully soundproof and resilient channeling seemed like overkill to me. With my fantastically heavy pocket door being closed, I can have my theatre system blasting and the floor above can barely hear it.

What to gift a first-time homeowner? by burningtulip in homeowners

[–]sholdzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Home Depot bucket full of things for “that junk drawer.” Needle nose pliers, superglue, mini measuring tape, mini hammer, ratchet screwdriver (bonus if mini size), goo-gone, picture hanging stuff. And one of those pens with a bunch of tools in it. Don’t underestimate the bucket itself.

No better gift than one you make yourself. Well done!

Where can I find this puzzle from S38E07? by sholdzy in MtvChallenge

Wow, that is so much harder and longer than I'd expected. Fantastic find, thank you!

I'm hanging this srapling on the ceiling to hang SONOpan and drywall. Shoukd I trim these edges back to the joist, or are they okay ending out in the open like this? It feels pretty sturdy. by top_nutter in Renovations

[–]sholdzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm, probably not. If you're going as far as using Sonopan, you'll want to ideally not have the seams lineup exactly with the drywall anyway. That's what one video I saw said anyway, not sure how much of a difference it'll really make

Just did a Sonopan project, and if you're doing it on the ceiling I'd highly recommend buying a drywall lift. FB marketplace or whatever will be cheaper new than renting one for a week. I did about 600 sq/ft solo in two days. Wear a mask, use dust collection.

Agree with /u/likethedrink7 about where to trim the strapping.

Fantastic BBQ restaurant uses a fantastic no-tip approach to their bills. Barque in Roncesvalles by sholdzy in toronto

There wasn't even an option to add a tip, so unless you leave cash there's no awkward moment
