Yeah, I'd love to replace all of the doors but she actually loves them as is. Honestly, as a whole the kitchen looks pretty good, but personally I think the distressing is terrible. Customer is...

Thanks, yeah I may end up farming the doors out, or convincing the client to use something we have. I'm pretty sure its 1 piece center panel after looking at it again but Its possible its overlayed....

Have a client that wants some built-in cabinetry and would like to match her existing kitchen cabinets. The new cabinets will be far enough away that an exact match isn't necessary but I'd like to...

I'll second Wurth as well, though we use the Raleigh store. We're a very small business and they have been great to us. Also, their screws are rebranded deerwoods, and they stock abrasives in...

Kent,
I've purchased a lot of sheet goods from The hardwood store and have been very satisfied. Mostly use their prefinished maple but have gone through several sheets of baltic birch and never had...

Scraps of high pressure laminate make great shims as well.

Azek (and I assume others) make pvc post wraps specifically for this situation. I just wrapped 12 posts on a screen porch and it was a breeze. The wraps come routed with a miter lock and taped so...

Definitely brick mold. Local HD and Lowes stock it in both primed pine and PVC.

If your drawer box has a typical 1/2" recess in the bottom you can attach the lower screws from below the drawer bottom. Depending on the overlay and style of door (shaker with narrow rails) its the...

I would tend to agree with Dave on the strength of old vs new growth yellow/tuplip poplar. Yellow Poplar is an extremely fast growing species and very competitive. I worked on a project not long...

Not sure if you have a Wurth wood group store local, but we are getting their house brand undermounts (think their named pro500) for about $12 a pair, including locking devices and rear brackets. ...

Bill,
I've seen those plastic Adirondacks before as well and they are quite comfortable but they are not Azek. They are sourced from a company named Loll Designs and are made of recycled HDPE....

Just finished a large built in bookcase made from mdf and soft maple. I hate mdf but it was a lower budget item and it does paint up pretty nice. Anyway, used 5mm dominos to join the casework, the...

Was a property manager for 7 years on a 1000 acre wooded estate and ran the heck out of Stihl saws. MS 260 pro was my favorite if a little carb finicky. When I left that position about a year ago...

I think you could probably get away with leaving the drywall alone but if your going to add something first i would use plywood, mostly because its easier to work with and would give you a backer to...

++++ on skipping the glue. We use a lot of PF maple. Pocket holes in the top and bottom screwed to the sides. I usually add a couple 5mm dominos on each side mostly for registration but I do glue...

A friend of mine made all the doors and drawers for my last kitchen remodel. Soft maple shaker doors and I painted the doors with french gray Real Milk paint. On every single door there was a dark...

I always find it easier to get the gaps between the door and jamb even with the door in place. Just tack it in first if the weight is an issue.
...

Great doors. I've hung a few dozen doors and you should definitely undercut the jambs for the flooring. Or as mentioned above wait till the floors are finished to hang them. Makes it much easier...

Absolutely, its a tried and true material. However I've seen the damage and mold from guys trying use mastic/tile adhesive in baths and showers. Mastic definitely makes for a quicker install but...

Cement board is probably the better route. I would probably use Advantech subfloor. We've used it in several places where its been nearly submerged in water and it really doesn't swell. But the...

I assume your talking about one of the Hitachi's with the "stacked" slides. I owned the C12lsh for a few years and can't recommend the saw. It's very easy to knock out of square and there aren't...

Second Groff and Groff and also may want to check Middletown Lumber. May be a bit more expensive but it would be an easy on/off the turnpike in Harrisburg.

We've used a ton of Boral TruExterior trim (about 3 pallets worth milled in t&g siding) and it would be my preference for any painted exterior trim. Its not perfect, but moves much less than PVC and...
