Bathroom mirror smashed

I'm redoing my wifes bathroom and along with the Vanity, the Now Frame-less, mirror had to go too. I Read all the online ideas of how to remove it and decided to go with clear plastic covering it. It was suggested that I go to a carpet store and by adhesive plastic. Not me, I'm too inventive. Yeah r...

Re: Solatube anyone?

Here is a link http://www.solatube.com/residential/brightenup.php . On further examination It might not be worth the money and effort, because she is not in the bathroom for very long compared to the expense of the electricity used. Adding another wall light would be cheaper. There is only one ceil...

Solatube anyone?

Wife's bathroom has no window, so I though one of these would brighten it up during the day.
They say it can be combines with a fan and a light for night time.

Any experience with these? Was it expensive?

If they "Part Out" the clunkers they make more money, even without an engine. We're talking "Chop Shop".

RE: Which rain gutter style?

Thanks for the link. I see that it goes over your existing gutter so that is added expense. I saw a type that has a Sponge type material that is stuffed into the gutter to keep stuff out. Also grills and grate styles. If they would install a section of the Gutter Helmut free to test then I might bel...

Which rain gutter style?

We are plagued by Hickory nuts that range from the size of marbles up to the golf ball size, plus chewed up shells from squirrels. Then there are the twigs and leaves. Any experience with this style? I see there is a style of rain gutter where the water follows the curve of the top of the gutter and...

RE: Removing old exterior windows

When they pulled out my old bedroom window they twisted and yanked to break the caulking seal.

WOW. be careful, use Duct Tape and wear sleeves and glasses.
Just a thought.

After months of work I think it is finished. Of course there are always "Little" details that you can always find to improve on, but at least it is usable. When I re-do my wifes bathroom she will need a nice place to use until hers is finished. :roll: I,m going to try putting many more pic...
