Just remember - you will not be able to get the floor perfectly smooth and flat. It will drive you crazy trying. I used Bondo for big cracks and holes. I believe you can see that in some of my pics. I would suggest a pattern of some sort to break up the imperfect bumpiness of the plywood. You could ...

I painted the Plywood that was there.

I just made sure to scrape it first. Then I primed it and used gloss oil-based deck paint. That was a year ago and both rooms are holding up very well.

Pics in my album.

A great solution if a new floor is not in the budget... IT'S CHEAP!

Thanks

Have been thinking about that too. Found this website where you can order pre-cut sheets to fit your windows.

Here it is - It shades the wall that gets the most afternoon sun. I may get another and double the area.

Don't mind the ugly yard - it is on the list of TO-DOs

I'm going to hijack my thread back just to update . :lol: Got my mesh tarp from Ebay (26'x12'). Looks like a good quality tarp. Mounted it just under the eave (eve?) of the house and tied it off to a few fence posts kinda like a cheap awning. It does make a nice shade which is WAY cooler than the d...

Attic? No attic here. No soffit vents or ridge vents. (or maybe I don;t know what they look like :oops: ) Budget will not allow me to call out any type of insulation expert - It's me or nothing. The roof does get a lot of sun, but it really starts to get hot when the sun hits the one unshaded wall. ...

It's not even Summer yet and my window unit A/C is having trouble keeping my living room below 80 degrees. I have not had this problem before, so the unit is okay as far as size. The problem is that about 2/3 of one outside wall gets BEATEN by the sun in the afternoon. Trees shade much of the rest. ...

Just looked at Behr and found their "roof paint". It's specifically for asphalt shingles.

I also found this:

Good info - thanks.

I tried searching, but couldn't really find what I was looking for. I would like to boost the water pressure to my home. Here is some info that might help to answer my question: I have city supplied water. My water pressure is about 80% of what I'd like. I would also like to set up a second filter, ...

I am thinking ahead to the future and wondering if anyone has experience doing this? I have a 16x76 SW with a peaked roof, asphalt shingles. I have read that you lay down new underlayment - then battens - then metal. I wanted to know if anyone has links to any similar projects that I could see pics ...

The pan and wall are separate - the wall comes folded up in a 36x70x6 box. It's basically a sheet that bends at the corners. Removing the old shower was a bit of a pain and of course removing old plumbing is always unpleasant (to say the least). Installed the pan, new drain and drain plumbing today....

I am replacing my 32x32 shower stall with a new pan and 1-piece wall unit. Can it be attached without using the plastic rivets? With just adhesive? Maybe non-rusting screws with caps? I don't much care for the rivets.

Cool... or just plain DUMB?

That's about as useful as a racing stripe on a Rambler...

1 - Unless you are an experienced painter I would suggest NOT using a sprayer. You would not believe the amount of overspray you can get by not properly masking everything - you do NOT want to paint the neighbor's car. 2 - It's all in the prep - As Yanita said - clean thoroughly, then clean again......
