Good Saturday everyone :hello:
I am just swimming with ideas lately. I think I figured out that I can use pretty much any spray paint I want to to the strut tower brace as long as I use it sandwiched between Dupli-Color's Engine Enamel primer and clear. Ms. BC, I suspect if you took it to a specialty shop, they could do what ever you want, but I'm looking for a DIY solution. Dupli-Color has other options as well with a variety of paints that withstand temps up to 500F (or least intermittently - I think only the caliper paint resists continually).

:hello:
Waiting for the coffee to brew. I pretty much filled the dumpster yesterday... It was like a large-scale version of real life Tetris. But I managed to fit everything in there. :tup:
Unfortunately I found more problems. The basement was partially finished at one point (probably without a permit or any consideration of building code, because someone was an idiot) and they framed and paneled/drywalled the stairs. :ugh2:
Well the drywall was water-damaged and the paneling was a bit rotten and unfortunately was concealing some rot in the staircase itself, so now it looks like I need to have someone replace the last 6" or so of the stair case and a couple of the steps.
Today I'm going to rip out some more ceiling. I hope I don't find any more wire-nutted Romex encased in the ceiling. These dummies put in an interlocking ceiling on the floor joists and have wire running in it that isn't in conduits, circuits patched in with wire nuts/not in an electrical box... :eek:

It is certainly crazy what some people consider acceptable construction :shakes head: Electrical and structural problems can be extremely serious matters and should be corrected without delay. I hope everything works out with your renovations. Just don't think about the problems - end result, end result, end result :icon17: |
