    Never use Silmen Fine Cabinetry for anything.

    Long story but basically lost my entire deposit for a piece of sub-Ikea quality cabinetry. Guy is a piece of shit. Was here 5 times and still never finished the job, ruined part of my ceiling, and originally had a tall cabinet mounted unsafe (held to the wall only with screws throw the backing board).

    A waste of several months of my life and lots of money.

    it's so tough with contractors, the company itself can be good....but the specific crew/foreman doing your job can be a complete tool.

    it annoys me that I have to look over people's shoulders when they do work that i'm paying for and point stuff out.

    Running out of ways to keep voles from entering my yard via the channel we back on and destroying the grass. Trapping and poisoning doesn't seem to help, we can't get a pet, and the neighbourhood falcons aren't enough to thin out their population.

    Was thinking about trenching a ~0.5ft wide by ~1.5ft deep channel along the end of my yard abutting the channel and filling it with crushed rock (with a "ditch witch"). Before I embark on this madness, anyone have any better ideas?

    How the hell do you get your pool water that clear?

    It's our first year with a pool, and I feel hopeless.

    And I have Grackles droppings daily.

    Takes some work but after a while it seems to take care of itself.

    The frame looks smaller in the picture. The top is 8.5’ and it is 12’ wide.

    got about 36 led pot lights . some for the main floor some for upstairs.
    dry wall guys coming to scope the work this week.
    new bathroom main floor fan 100cfm.
    our floor is ordered. should be here in 2 weeks.
    dry wall next week.
    new plywood kitchen floor to go in.
    cabinet guys and the stair railing guys are coming this week to see where we are at get measurements and start getting things together.
    our new front door will have a 3/4 in decretive glass the back window will be a full cut door with blinds and a new garage door will reuse our back 1/2 cut window with blinds in it to give it a bit of light when you are in there.

    I'm sure there is more just trying to remember the site we now use for photos so I could post some of the progress. we are doing engineered hardwood through the whole main floor and kitchen and upstairs hall way and on the stairs a nice carpet and then iron spindles and new handrails all around.

    it is nice to have the ceiling drywall down and some of the kitchen floor up as it is over the theatre and game room in the basement so I can put some safe and sound in between the floor and ceiling to the floor below to help mitigate some sound travel.

    also having everything open I've moved the router down from one of the bedrooms to the main floor and I will be running Cat 6 either net cable back up and put them into the wall plugs so in our office now and the other bedroom they will have new hard lines and I'm running a 100ft cable down to the basement so I can plug in the ps4 which will help with the streaming of Netflix. I don't really play anything online. fortnight from time to time but otherwise I don't play on playstation plus but I figure if down the road I want to I will have a faster then wifi connection.

    anyone think of any suggestions now that I have access to somethings. or suggestions of things you would do or would have done if you had the same access. don't want to put the dry wall up and then say oh shit I wish I could have done this.

    • check main sewage stack piping for cracks if exposed; inspect all water pipes
    • add water shutoff valves & access panel(s) where appropriate
    • add additional electrical outlets if needed
    • fix any floor squeaks/ level floor
    • sound system pre-wiring
    • tv cabling ( yeah right )

    have a 200 pack of floor screws going to put those in every 4.6 or 8" between the current screws there. i have one i cant fix from the bedroom but god willing we tried thankfully its over by the window and we will be putting safe and sound under our bedroom, under the front bedroom that is over the family room and above our media room to help with sound. [*]sound system pre-wiring
