Well what if you can get the job done cheaper faster and without headaches using pre-made woodworking plans completely done for you.

Here's the problem, most plans and woodworking magazine plans are complete garbage. They skip over important parts their diagrams are confusing unclear or even sometimes wrong leaving you spending more time to figure out what they're trying to show you then actually creating and building your project.

Truth of the matter is when this happens it becomes more difficult to complete a project adding frustration confusion and demotivating the initial excitement of trading and finishing a woodworking project. Most of these half-hearted plans just kind of leave you with more questions than answers.

How to Build a Unique Custom Kitchen Island Unlike your friends or Neigh...

noreply@blogger.com (Vince) — Tue, 5 Sep 2023 10:27:00 -0400

In this video you'll learn how to build a custom unique kitchen Island unlike the traditional kitchen islands found in your friend or family members Homes.

Utilizing a simple plan you can create an island that allows for full functioning of both sides of the island without creative an overly large depth.

Wall cabinet build up and modification is an easy process to provide a custom look and function without the custom price associated.

There are many different ways to design a functioning Island in your new kitchen.

In this video that I've included we show a 6-foot by 4-foot Island with a matching countertop constructed prior to laminate.

This particular Island was constructed with two 36 in cabinets which are at 36 inch height with the countertop and 24 in deep which is a standard base cabinet.

https://youtu.be/EuexOXiyW38

To provide functioning from front and back side of the island with cabinets that open and operate with shelving we used a 30 in wall cabinet which is a thin profile of 12 in in depth to match the height of a island we constructed a 4 and 3/8 in frame platform and recessed it back 3 in and reflect a kick toe.

Once fully assembled the height of wall cabinets will be 34 and a half prior to the countertop.

What we've accomplished here is a double sided Island that functions without the need to purchase an order a custom fabricated cabinet the cabinet now represent 6 ft long by 3 ft and width with a 1 foot extension overhang for stool location on the aisle. Prior to completion a matching skirt panel will be added to the left and right side which will hide the assembly scene and provide the appearance of one large custom manufactured cabinet.

How to Resurface and refinish a Bathtub and Shower Ceramic tile Bathroom...

noreply@blogger.com (Vince) — Sun, 8 Apr 2018 18:31:00 -0400

Tub and tile refinishing on a budget

his is an easy affordable way to update your bathroom. You must follow the direction to the letter in order to achieve the best possible results.

I have used this system serveral times and found that the most difficult areas to to refinish have been where caulk residue has remained.

So , In addition to there direction I have also performed a Laquor Scrub by buying 1 small can of Laquor, great for cleaning, and scrubing down the areas that had been caulked. This will remove any left over residual caulk that you cannot see.

Good Luck, Please contact me regarding any DIY help you may have.

noreply@blogger.com (Vince) — Tue, 2 Jan 2018 12:21:00 -0500

Custom porcelain walk in shower

This custom shower was designed and replicated from a magazine drawing supplied by the homeowner.

The overall size of the walk in shower is seven and a half feet by 4 foot in depth.

The shower is large enough that an access entry can accommodate 32in without the use of a swing door to prevent water from exiting the shower.

The wet bed base measures 7 and 1/2 feet.

Carpentry and plumbing modifications

Rough set up of tile board and wet bed

The shower was assembled using porcelain tile 12 in by 24 in laid horizontally with a step skip pattern.

A wall box for soaps and shampoos was installed between the wall studs with the addition of the matching border at a 6ft level to break up the pattern and accent the matching floor.

Custom porcelain bench seat

A custom bench was fabricated prior to tile measuring 30 in by 14 inch which contains a slight quarter inch pitch to allow for water drainage off of the top of it.

Therma-Tru fiberglass Double Entry prehung door - how to install an entry door

noreply@blogger.com (Vince) — Sun, 31 Dec 2017 13:42:00 -0500

New installation of six foot Therma-Tru fiberglass Double Entry front doors.

This new entry door system was installed in approximately 6 hours from start to finish and features the light we quality of fiberglass foam filled to meet Peak Energy Efficiency and also offers an attractive exterior rustic wood look.

Because this is a custom install door which measures at 73 and 1/2 in wide the existing opening had to be slightly modified by reducing left and right number one Jack studs buy quarter of an inch each way this allows for full clear installation of the door with additional room to properly insulate using fiberglass insulation.

The exterior is then completed by adding custom aluminum-clad rapping over the existing manufacturers brick molding.

Double entry doors are specialty door and every measure should be taken to ensure a level plum and properly aligned installation.

Because of the bulk weight of the door unit I recommend removing left and right operating panels from the manufacturer's pre-hung Jamb. Then the box frame provided by the manufacturer can be easily installed and manipulated to 90% perfection. Once the door jamb is properly installed the left and right operating door panels can then be reattached for a dry run or demo test of the installation of the jamb.

Once the door panels are reinstalled Minor Adjustments or tweaks two level flush and plane can be accomplished to ensure maximum utility of the door and to ensure through shaming that the door tolerances are that of the manufacturers expectations to provide an airtight closure.

Once your adjustments and tweaks are completed you may send home any fasteners to permanently Mount the frame and then insulating and finishings applied to the door.

For detailed tutorial on how to install any double door were any prehung exterior door please follow the YouTube link below as this easy 10 step guide will make any door you install operate perfectly every time.

How to choose a local Home Improvement contractor

noreply@blogger.com (Vince) — Fri, 26 May 2017 13:50:00 -0400

Where to start

There are several basic steps to follow to make sure you select the best reputable contractors in your area.

Most residential contractors will offer free estimates for your project in mind. Multiple estimates can assure you of the best possible price and the most competitive price for the work to be completed. When you do select a contractor for an estimate let them know that you are getting several estimates from other local contractors. This will prompt the estimator to be realistic and pricing and quotes.

Where to start before selecting for estimates

First thing you should look at is who was in the local community. The first reason why is if it is local work and the contractor does not mind working in his hometown then this shows that the contractor does professional work is very reputable and typically his customers know where he lives.

In my hometown I have 52 customers who repeatedly call on my services time and time again and frequently ride by my home gesturing hello and occasionally popping in when I'm out front doing work.

Other reasons to try to stay with a local contractor are ease of access to the work which decreases overall time for the contractor. The contractors took would be on friendlier terms with the local building code inspector. Also contractor references are more readily available in the form of calling of Prior customer or driving by for a visual of the contractors recent works. This is great if you're seeking siding gutters Roofing concrete or any exterior related work.

What should I look for in a contractor

As well as the information above several other areas of concern should be looked at period

One would be is the contractor registered. Most States including my home state of New Jersey any persons performing work in a residential home valued at more than $500 must be registered with the state Department of Consumer Affairs.

Most states have adopted this registration process in an attempt to eliminate fraud and deception among contractors. We've all heard the stories on the news regarding hit-and-run contractors who collect deposits then never show up to do the work or leave when it's half done.

In addition to registration Most states require that the contractor be insured with the minimum expectation prior to being eligible to submit registration forms. Nevertheless always ask if they're insured and should you select later make sure you have a copy of that contractors insurance binder.

Another area of concern is money. What what is the fee schedule for the estimate submitted. So when you interview your contractor for a free estimate please indicate to them that you would like a breakdown of deposit and any intermediate payment request and balance do schedule at the end of the job.

A typical breakdown of payment

Many contractors will breakdown the scheduled payments in following way.

1/3 - contract than 1/3 during Midway which should be established in your contract then 1/3 third balance upon completion and a big factor here is that completion is upon local Municipal inspection of building code. Too many times homeowners have paid balance in full at the end of a job without the final inspection from the local municipality only to find that there's difficulty getting the contractor back to complete an issue or changing issue that may have failed inspection. Always protect yourself and get it in writing up front.

Many smaller jobs might require a slightly different fee schedule. For example a job that may only cost $900. On that job a contractor may ask for a 50% deposit. We're like many contractors 0 deposit balance due upon completion.

Just remember when receiving estimates and selecting estimates sometimes it's not all about the money. For instance you may like one contractor over another because you're more comfortable with that person however that person's estimate may be slightly higher than the prior estimate. Beware of the low ballers. Sometimes low ballers are unrealistic and their pricing which may attract your purse but beware there may be issues once they're inside your home.

At the same time Beware of the over expensive contractor. Some contractors follow of belief that everything they quote is high and it's just a numbers game. The more quotes that are out there the more jobs that are accepted at the higher rate.

Will the individual that you were meeting be performing the work. This question is asked and sometimes left off the table. Very important to establish this from the get-go. Once you have selected an individual to perform your work if that individual isn't present daily during the work there can be a lot of misinterpreted information passed between the estimator and his workers. Secondly when the owner of the construction company is there performing your work daily the expectation and professional results are increased as a direct reflection of his credibility and skill. This is first-hand information coming from my mouth to your ears as I have and still experience the same issue within my own company. No one works like the owner of the company.

These are the basic key points to start yourself out When selecting a local contractor.

Once you have shopped the estimates and selected my contractor

Okay congratulations. You did your due diligence and you shop the estimates and based on all estimates you've selected the best one to fit your budget and to get the work performed in the way that you would like.

Now it's time to sign up period

In your agreement to remodel also known as your contract you should have several key issues starting as follows.

The contract specifically spells out names of all parties. It should have specific start and end time. Should have a breakdown a fee schedule with an area for endorsement for payment. It should dictate conduct of the contractor for an example disposal cleanliness container placements yard signs in a typical schedule breakdown of when they are supposed to be there and when they are not supposed to be there period

A detailed explanation of what is being installed how it's being installed the quality of the component any warranty implied of the components.

There should also be a detailed paragraph providing warranty of the contractor's work itself. An example would be two years 5 years or lifetime warranty. Generally other terms and conditions throughout the contract protect you and the contractor.

Home Improvement Remodeling Plan...?

noreply@blogger.com (Vince) — Thu, 25 May 2017 17:54:00 -0400

Should I have a Remodeling Plan

Absolutely even the simplest plan will assist you from the start to completion of your remodeling or construction project in a timely affordable manner.

Without a plan or "Job Description", days may turn into weeks and hundreds into thousands. You definitely don't want to wing remodeling projects especially if you're not in the business of rehab every day. Even the best of the best will develop a written game plan outlining in detail the chain of events to occur.

If you are not sure how to start a plan, ask around friends relatives or local professionals. Remember even the most basic plan is better than none.

What should my plan consider?

Your plan needs to consider several issues

1st
Cost of the remodeling project. You should establish an estimate of cost to perform the improvement. Shop around pricing components, fixtures and items you would prefer to have installed. (get a feel for averages $$$)

Certain professional services may be required for your project such as plumbers, electrician or other specialist. Most professionals will provide a free estimate for homeowners.

2nd Demolition

- how far do you need to go? Can I do it all my self? Do I need partial assistance from a professional?

These questions are key to a well rounded plan of action. Simply put how much remodeling am I doing? How Much from a professional service and what's the cost?

Get familiar with the cost to rewire or to re-plumb that bathroom or kitchen.

For an example: lets remodeling your main Bath.

Is it a full demo removing tub shower, walls, flooring ceiling fans etc...if so be expected to bring the entire room up to local building codes.

So price out you electrical, plumbing then your set work such as tub/shower unit, exhaust fan, tile flooring, insulation, wall coverings and vanity components, mirror, lights....all the frills.

Once you have enough information jot down a basic plan and critique.

If you're not sure of the cost associated with a particular component i.e. drywall, electrical, plumbing etc.. they'll typically provide a free evisit the big box store, and get estimates for what you can't do i.e electric....plumbing.

In a nut shell your plan should at least contain reference to the following:

When to start and complete
Your participation (doing some or all the work or none?)
Extent of project - fixture only, fixtures and paint, fixtures, paint services, walls and floor (coverings only or sub floor and wall included) how far do want to go.
Time for the remodeling project - Simple rule of thumb here "whatever you think your are capable of completing in a certain time i.e. week , 2 weeks... take that amount and add half to it. It is inevitable that there will be delays...this is the system and how it work. The more participants the more delay. I have used this practice for more than 28 Years and find it still stands true especially in an older home.
Quality of the installed components - "Looks easy" Don't be fooled, there are many areas of concern. Something completed a certain way in one dwelling may not be the same in another or in your home. Foresite is a remodeler's best friend. What if I.... or should I..., If you're not sure,,,ASK or look it up. Your best asset is going to be your mouth. No ego's here. If you're not sure ask but beware everyone has a different twist on life You'll hear several methods! Today we have the marvelous internet. Google it, youtube it whatever. Again you will experience and array of techniques and methods. Not all are right or wrong....it's just what is acceptable to local code standards.

Permits - "I don't get permits", as the less than reputable remodeler will state, "all they do is collect money anyway", wrong.... your local jurisdiction has full control over your job. They have the right to provide and revoke permits and site for fine for any violation that they deem unsafe or incorrectly constructed. But never fear, they are on your side. Your local construction official is there to assist you when you submit your construction remodeling plans. If there is any thing out of code acceptance i.e. wrong size drain, incorrect wire gauge...etc. they'll let you know. Their assistance is to keep you out of future trouble and danger for incorrect assemblies and construction practices. Don't do you project under the radar....at some point you will have to deal with them. Before your project or possible 10 years later when you sell!
Last but never the least Cost - Budget - Dollars ... after you have shop around establish a realistic budget...then throw it away, just kidding. After you've priced out all fixtures, components, lumber, tile professional cost the permits and all considerer Jot it down and come up with your budget then add at least 15%.
Even after 30 years as a full time remodeling specialist, I still miss things. Also try not to start on a dead budget make sure you have your full budget set aside. Don't do you project a little each week in conjunction with payday....it won't work. If you go a little over enjoy it's your home and at least you getting your monies worth.

DIY How to remove, repair and fix that broken ceramic or porcelain Floor or wall tile

Anyone can repair their ceramic tile floor without spending hundreds of dollars!!!

MY YOUTUBE VIDEO BELOW SHOWS YOU HOW

First let's assess the issue. Your bad tile has one of the following issues:

Chipped

Cracked

Loose

Grout Grind (grout sand up)

That being said, what is the initial cause of the current condition.

If you said , "chipped"....that''s your fault...that plate or coffee cup did some job...but none the less you can fix it without spending hardly any money.

If you said any of the other (3) then you'll be pleased to know that it isn't any fault of yours or anyone else in the household...and here is why.

A properly set tile will never ever ever crack! They will always chip or flake. There are several conditions that will cause your ceramic tile to become loose or crack, which by the way causes grout grind. Knowing the cause of the issue will assist you in the repair to follow.

Grout Grind is simply that, A loose tile that is moving or vibrating will

eventually eat away at the grout line in your floor area. Here's an easy example; if you hold two bricks, one in each hand, and sandwich a length of chalk between then..no problem....however when you agitate the brick back and forth in opposite direction then the chalk powders and turns to dust...same results only you're constantly sweeping the floor.

Cool Note here! Did you know that your home is constantly vibrating. That's right even when the house is empty and everyone is out for the day. Proven fact is that all building materials expand and contract. For this reason products have installation guideline to follow. They are called instructions. Even without expansion and contraction if the building is connected to the planet, which it is, it is in a constant state of vibration.....although you won't be able to feel it.

Back to the tile..... Cracking tile and loose tile are a result of improper installation,,,,, Period....

No other reason but this. The install made one or more of the following mistakes.

No wet bed base or hardy backer board (cement board) Tiled over wood
Wrong thickness of hardy backer board
Improper bed of fortified mortar
Exceeded open work time and mortar skinned over

Wet bed or backer board

Required for any floor job. A wet bed is a mortar bed laid over top of galvanized mesh wire attached to the floor over a protective sheet barrier such as felt paper or membrane. In its place, the wonder of Hardy Backer Board may be use. However a minimum of 1/2" thick either way must be used. Hardy Backer comes in a 3'x5' (15sq ft) sheet. It is offered in two forms 1/4" thick or 1/2" think.

The 1/4" thick should only be used for walls i.e. bath, kitchen back splashes. The 1/2" thick is for flooring.

The cause of 1/4" backer on the flooring allows too much motion in the form of flex when traffic passes over. The 1/2" offers a stable base, like the wet bed when combined with the addition of a 3/8" trowel out of fortified mortar and 1/4" tile placed on that. That's just about an inch of solid combined materials bonded together. So, your tile condition may be a result of thin base or the tile may have been installed directly over a wood base which is always a mistake. Remember the expansion and contraction of the wood. With combined materials above there is no way to crack the tile, UNLESS....

Improper Trowel Bed

Depending on the type of tile will determine the type of trowel to install the fortified mortar. Instructions by the manufacturer will dictate. Unfortunately, installers don't always read direction as I assume it's a blow to their ego's.... This area covers 2 issues:

Wrong size trowel

Wrong trowel application

When installing tile the correct notched trowel must be used for the type and size of the tile. There are many trowels notched at 1/16", 1/8", 1/4", and 1/2". Using the wrong trowel size can cause future problem. If a small 1/8" trowel is used to place mortar for a 16"x16" ceramic tile floor.....you can bet you'll have trouble here, cracking tile, coming up, loose and the infamous grout grind. The condition here is the mortar bed is lacking and does not stand off the backer board. Here a minimum 3/8" trowel should be used applying in a full coverage sweep resembling corn rows.

When you attempt to lift your bad tile if it comes up almost whole or in large pieces, then there typically was not enough mortar or fortified thinset.

Exceeded open work time and mortar skinned over

This is self explanatory. Too large of an area after troweling out a section of fortified thinset mortar was exposed before tile install. Meaning that the troweled corn rows sat too long. This may cause skin over of the mortar which is simply that. The surface of the beaded corn rows started to cure reducing the adhesion when the tile is pressed into it. The rows are still wet inside but the surface isn't. The tile being installed here would then be pressed into the trowel bed and the line on the back of the tile leave an indent impression on the skinned mortar. This may also cause that loose tile or more over classic Grout grind. Afterall, what's holding that particular tile down other than the grout.

Now, since we covered everything cause wise it's time to get on with your repair and replacement of the cracked damaged floor. Be careful to utilize safety here especially for your eyes. In the video below I am using basic tools to demonstrate a basic pull and replace. There are wider tools or even air driven tools that would speed along this job. Assuming you are not a contractor I'm using the basics here. You may already possess these simple tools"

Hammer, Chisel, broom gloves and safety glasses. Yup that's it....go to town and save some money!!!
