I was told they taxed it more heavily because it isnt painted green.Are those Oregon plates really necessary? I'm sure most people just assume.
Youd think the dude could find a roller or paint brush somewhere.

Thanks coot! Yeah, those tops won't be fastened down until very late in the game. Plus I'm going to use threaded inserts so I can unbolt them if need be to do any big maintenance.I'm assuming you're gonna paint the cabinets not stain. If the irregularities are grain, footballs (patches cut from the same veneer in a football shape) or very shallow knotholes, you can skim with drywall mud that's been thinned or spackling. IMO the better wood filler is made by Borden's, is a pink color and is easily sandable. Then prime and sand out. Do any caulking after priming and wipe the caulk down with a damp rag. A paint that I have had good luck on finish work is Behr Alkyd enamel. If you don't have a HVLP spray gun, use a 4" foam roller. This paint lays down real tight with no roller or brush marks, dries much harder than other enamels and cleans up with water. Schitz looking good Dawg.
PS don't fasten those tops down till you install the drawer guides, much easier access.
Lol. Butt jointsDo your fills and sand those first, wipe down with a tack rag and then prime, then sand the prime. The primer acts as a filler as well, caulk any butt joints at corners, then wipe with damp rag and then final paint. Don't caulk any nail or screw holes, use the filler as it won't shrink.
Graco is a good spray rig, I would use a #206 or 210 fine finish spray tip, will give more control with a 6" fan. Take some practice shots on some cardboard.
Worked on putting up more wall paneling the last couple days. Decided to put another outlet in the back so had to run wire for that today. I got a lot of respect for dudes that can come in to a project and just start measuring and cutting and nailing, getting huge amounts of stuff done in a day. I gotta sit there, staring at it, figuring out everything that could go wrong, trying to think if I'm forgetting to so thing A before thing B, etc. Plus I gotta google or youtube how to do something, maybe order a part or some hardware, even run to the hardware stuff to get some damn thing I need. By the time in get in a groove, half the day is gone.
In any event, the back wall is done but not nailed up yet. I have to put insulation back there first so that'll get done tomorrow. This thing has rounded corners in the rear that have been giving me fits trying to figure out how the best way to panel it is. I replaced some rotten wood under the curved windows with a big ol' 2x8 that I cut a curve in to fit. After they were in I used a hole saw, vibrating saw, a grinder and a drum sander to make the inside curve. I used an extra piece of cabinet lumber to make a small shelf under the window and cut the paneling that goes against the back wall under the shelf. I made a couple of vertical studs from 2x4 to support the rear shelf and window and give me something to nail the paneling to.
I pretty much finished paneling the drivers side. The fun part is cutting out the windows. I do have to finish the last bit of that wall where it gets to the corner. Hopefully I'll get that corner and finish most of the passenger side wall tomorrow. Also, I cut the hole in the countertop for the new sink and the cook top. The new sink is a lot deeper than the old crappy shallow sink that was in there, so I'll have to get a little creative with the P-trap so it clears the water heater.
Thanks man! I was considering waiting until it was painted and the backsplash was up before the switchplates go on, but now I'm not so sure.Again, seriously impressive. Looks great.
Also, whenever you’re ready to put those light switch plates on, let me know and I’ll knock’em out for you.

Those are receptacles not switches.
Yeah, I quit again.
Still my favorite, but my version is better for obvious reasons.
