Trey should know by now that one good, long screw is better than several short, quick ones. Perhaps he needs a stud finder.The Gear...

quality takes time. Any wife will tell you that. The neighborhood handiman has to pay a visit if you screw hangs up and usually while you are at work.The Gear...

Be sure you use the green lid compound for the top coat. If you don't know the lightweight compound with the blue lid has styrofoam in it. It is a pia to sand and often gets pin holes. It's perfectly fine for the first few heavy coats because it drys faster since it has less water but use the green lid all purpose compound for the top.Oh, Listen here mister.

I'm sorry, what? Seriously 50 outlets in your kitchen??The yellow wire will be an arc fault circuit, will string plug mold across the bottom of the cabinets, will have about fifty outlets -
It's plug mold, they go along the bottom of the upper cabinets. About an outlet every 3 inches... Will be sweet and you won't see but two outlets- Not Tom

In my last kitchen me and Russ did this, it was great. Was very easy to plug in appliances like coffee makers and such without having cords everywhere. Wouldn't do it any other way. I also really like the clean back splash look versus having outlets every couple of feet. Only regular outlet is right next to the sink which is a GFI- Not Tom

Nice wire management. But what's up with the blender wire???"Make a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Light

I can only imagine what it's like to live in your house.
One room has been sheetrocked for a year. Possible a couch with plastic on it.
One room is sheetrocked but the microwave is sitting on the floor.
One room is just full of inductors/caps/and wreaks of lead.
The last room has a sink and tub installed while there is only home depot bucket on the floor. The bucket at least has a delrin seat with a little dynomatting to knock down the vibrations...

Very accurate synopsis. Only thing left would be a recommendation to rotate the mattress. What a stalker lol- Not Tom

Hahaha....that's Mr. Stalker to you good sir.

Gorgeous tile work on the floor!

Agree very nice Trey. I bet that was a BEAR to cut and put in.

Thanks guys!
me and a Buddy came up with that about 6 years ago. This go around I just made any needed repairs and I had to redo the 1/4" of the room where the laundry room use to be...

Love the cascade countertop. I wanted to do something like that at our house when we remodel but I have a feeling I will be outvoted
