And then this project that I started( that kinda became this big ordeal that I wasn’t expecting, also realizing I’m not a carpenter, I’m a window cleaner, and I don’t have proper carpentry tools…
Hilarious! I wasn’t expecting that last picture. I bet you’ll be happier with that setup anyway. Looks nice and organized. Plus you can move stuff around if you get tired of it.
That’s kind of like a “goal in life” for me.
My neighbor does stuff with me, and I’d have a cart loaded up with like 6 planks of wood,
a couple 2x2’s, and some Liquid Nails, f-ing duct tape…
he walks out with like 2 2x4’s and exactly 6 nails for the same project. :rolleyes:
I’ve actually got a lot better though, I’ve actually become fairly capable over the past few years.
But watching a carpenter is just voodoo. We had a flood in our basement and after getting everything fixed and replaced, the insurance sent a guy to do the trim. Stained trim. I wasn’t paying too much attention until he asked me what I wanted to do because either the door was straight and the wall crooked or the wall was straight and the door was crooked. I just said, do whatever. He used some quarter round and you would never know there was a big gap between the door and the wall. And it was all stained trim!!
When I do trim, you’re going to get white and for a small house I’ll need a case of caulk. Caulk covers multitude of sins.
pro-tip: setting the depth of a circular saw to just deep enough for the material you’re cutting, will allow you to make large curves much more accurately and quickly than trying to use a jigsaw. I only use the jigsaw for the little stuff.
Funny u went to lowes and there’s a Home Depot bucket in the picture. Nice looks good to me. And probably a lot cheaper than the plywood thing. Home Depot rocks!!!
