Hi, You're so right, a little goes a long way with this stuff. When it dries you can always add more for a more textured look. I was going for that old plastered smooth yet rough kind of look. Thats why I slightly sanded the rough high spots down. I'm really pleased with the finished product. Sherry

Hi, I used it on my back bedroom walls and it worked fine.. I did mud and tape the seams (under the strips), I sanded lightly on places where it got too textured, primed and then painted. It looks great and has held up really well. No cracks so far. sherry

Teatime,
Just out of curiosity, how has your floor held up? Any problems?

sorry Yanita, I posted this question about parquet in a bathroom before I read your post on gluing--you answered my question. Not a good idea.
Sherry

I did consider the parquet flooring. It's really beautiful and I'll bet yours looks great. My sister actually topped a vanity in her guest bathroom with some. It was unfinished wood, she stained and put several coats of marine varnish. Her husband finished the edges with wood trim and it's beautiful...

I never thought about the fact that lots of laminate might be different in color. Thanks guys, you most likely saved me a lot of headaches later on. The money is going in the piggy bank until I have the total amount.

Yanita, Thanks for the advice. I figured as much. My living room is 26 ft by 16 ft and its gonna take several boxes. I figured I would try to pick up a couple of boxes a week until I had enough (about 19 boxes). I found what I wanted at Lowe's, maybe it won't hurt my pocket book as bad if I just sor...

Hey everyone, I really didn't have a question, I just wanted to thank you all for this site. I love living in my double wide, but I got really sick of looking at the same ole walls everyday. (those awful trailer strips ) This site gave me the information and the courage to tear 'em down, mud and pai...

Thanks for the replies. Sorry It's taken me so long to respond back. I'm having major computer problems at the moment. Muy husband worked in the roofing business many years ago so he is familiar with roofing a stick home. We were just unsure if anything different needed to be considered with our hom...

Hey Everyone,
Has anyone ever built a porch from a gabled roof line. We would like to do this on the front of our home. ( If we can) I've seen it done with other double wides and I really like the front porch look.
Thanks,
Sherry

Thanks !
I work 60 plus hours at my job--The last thing I want to do is spend all my free time cleaning. I think having time to do the things you LIKE is really important.

Hey everyone, Dupli Color makes a vinyl and fabric paint that would most likely work. Body shops and do it yourself painters use it on the dash and plastic interiors of cars. Another tip--I'm lucky enough to have a whirl pool bath tub, I unhook the blinds, lay them in the tub, add soap and kick it o...

hey everyone! This is my first post and I'm so excited to be here. Getting back to the topic at hand--green day--sometimes I think everyday is green day for my family. I was certainly brought up in a"waste not want not" sort of envirment We found all sorts of ways to reuse everything we co...
