    Looking good kid. Replace those electrolytic caps on the input board and the output boards.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Look'n good bro, but damn, you gotta ditch that Behr crap. Worst. Paint. Ever.
    If...
    Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    Ron,
    Why do you say that? Ive tried alot of paint and found Behr to perform the best for me...

    What are your experiences? what do you recommend?

    I only paint with Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore, and only their top of the line, no middle or low grade. Once you paint with these you'll understand why Behr is junk, of course, they are nearly twice the price per gallon. I've never used Dunn-Edwards but have heard good things. You'll pay between $40 and $50 a gallon for Ben or Sherwin.

    Behr uses chalk as filler in their paints. Ever notice how sudsy the sink becomes when you wash your brushes or rollers? Or how think it rolls or brushes on. If you want fluidity in your Behr you'll need to add Flotrol. Also, the lay down factor just isn't very good with Behr when brushing, it doesn't blend and flatten nicely because it's too thick because of these fillers.

    I agree with Ron. Our whole house is painted in BM premium paint (I forget the actual name they use). In our other houses, I'd paint with what ever seemed not too cheap. Once I got my hands on BM, I was blown away and I actually like painting now. I find with BM I can cut lines with no tape and not have issues, the paint just goes on the wall really well.

    Great job Trey!

    It looks very nice. I admire your work ethic and motivation. Your place is going to look terrific.

    Just a note of advice. If you would have purchased colored caulking to match your counter tops, the seam would have disappeared.

    Keep up the good work!

    50 bucks a gallon is way to much for me - heck 20 bucks a gallon is pushing it... lol

    The paint is pretty good for what I can afford and I like the coverage -- not to mention the Satin finish is my favorite...

    Carl -- thanks for the advice, I actually looked for colored calk - found a tan one (which I used) - lightest shade of tan on the planet lol

    Trey, if you needed colored caulk you should have asked me. My supplier has around 90 or so different colors to choose from in all different kinds of compounds. At less cost [usually 60% less] than you'd pay at any store as well.
