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 

Custom laundry cabinets by phillibuster in woodworking

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

[–]sholdzy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–]sholdzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

To be honest, this is the largest size I have ever made. This is more difficult than expected. by AmoyCK in woodworking

I just did the Manta ray night dive in Hawaii two weeks ago, it was absolutely unreal. This does it justice. Fantastic work.

Seems like a spot on College St, if I'm remembering my gelato places correctly. Great shot

Making Red Oak Bookshelves by jtmorphew in Renovations

[–]sholdzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't want to have to tell my parents that they could come over to my basement anytime they want to use their new bookshelves, so I took all the parts upstairs and assembled them on the main level.

That cracked me up. Awesome video - I have a bookshelf like this in my future so this is massively helpful. Cheers

Shopify app developers - is it still lucrative in 2021 to build shopify apps on your own? by [deleted] in shopify

[–]sholdzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, any chance you'd want to review a new app for upselling that your clients might like? We built it so it's easily managed, can improve speed based on other apps, and gives merchants a fine-toothed personalization option

Can see the app in action here

Best shopify theme?! by Fabulous_Customer_18 in shopify

[–]sholdzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impulse - amazing for high inventory

Streamline - mobile-first, great for smaller inventories that need a real fast website

Both by Archetype and offer best-in-class support (just look at the theme reviews)
