Have a look at the new Trex Suncomfortable , it’s a solar reflective product in the transcend line that is designed for pool areas and sun decks . Yes it works , it’s in my backyard . Yes it’s really expensive. As a former lumber trader you will never convince me to install a wooden deck again ...

I could not live with a purple fence . Stain vs paint ? Stain is always easier to maintain and always use a semi transparent if the look works for you . Solid stain is just weak paint and it always peels on horizontal surface and occasionally vertical . Sent from my iPhone using...

Think I’m going to build the new vanity for the second bath upstairs. It’s never used so it can be empty for a month or so . Anything we looked at is four/ five grand for what we want . I’ll build the vanity then decide if I’ll do a corian top ( I can fabricate that) or go the stone route . It...

The “Saffire sandwich” Omega Speedmasters were just over nine k each with taxes , no discount even though we bought four . They did throw in an Omega umbrella , Oky doky . I’d have been making a bigger stink if it was mine . That’s horrible for a watch of that ‘caliber’ . I’ll offer him three k...

That looks like the hundred buck builder special . They make those with a two by two lumber frame inside and a sheet of styrofoam , they put some adhesive on the metal skins so the stick to the foam and make an assembly. The gauge of metal is one step up from a beer can. As mike said , they rack...
