Eh I guess I turned my system off to sand the floors, didn't want shit kicking on with all the dust.

Meh, it was 70+ degrees and I was painting the room directly next to my furnace and water heater, I turned off the gas to both, figured I might as well cut the power too.

Lol, had the breaker off and the gas shut off for my furnace and water heater while I painted, I'm not that lazy. Problem is the instructions for dual fuel systems are locked behind some bullshit "pro" site for Nest. I managed to see the directions for the 2nd gen though so not sure it...

Oh and if anyone is an HVAC guy and wants to reassure me I won't fuck my shit up please PM me or respond here lol

Really the worst thing at this point besides new things piling on is that I can't fucking set up our house until this shit is done. Have to put in new front door likely, redo casing around 8 door sides, then trim the living room, hallway, one bedroom. Then finish my patch job in the bedroom...

Ugh, think I have to get a new front door at some point too, old wood door doesn't have the best fit, nor is it installed correctly. Really dreading putting nice trim on it on the inside only to have to tear it out to replace the door when I get around to it. Money pit is right lol.

What TV did you go with?

Fuck, game just got here and I probably won't be able to play it for at least another week or two, fucking new house.

So just bought a Nest 3 for $70 AR and thinking I might return it. I have a dual fuel system with a Heat pump and a gas furnace. Strange set up for this area as my understanding is the gas furnace won't kick in until its around 35 degrees out which I don't think happens all that often but...

New house's main living room wall is in a bad spot and pretty small, pretty sure I have to ditch the projector :/ I could still use the projector but then I'd have to mount my front L/R speakers on the ceiling due to space issues, that's probably not a great idea from what I've read. Could...

Rams have the best team they've had in ages and I've spent the last 3 weekends working. Didn't even get a chance to peep the score yesterday as I was busy moving. Fucking bullshit.

Final Fantasy IIIIIIIIIIIIIII derail!?!

So the floor, rented a shitty sander from Home depot, not really getting the scratches out very well and I have an area that's stained a little dark I've been trying chemicals on to lighten. Was planning on just doing 2 coats of water based poly but now am starting to think maybe I should stain...

Just going to see what the guy says tomorrow, maybe this project just gets put on hold for now.

Well if I remove it I can say I don't know like most people with a house this age.

Hah, still haven't watched it, was workin on my new home all day instead. Sucks.

You can legally remove it yourself however popcorn ceilings turn into a fine dust when you remove it, doesn't seem very safe to me. Have a guy giving me an estimate tomorrow but at this point we might just leave it for now. They use a hepa air scrubber to remove the fibers from the air. Been...

Did the Redskins agree not to play defense today so he could get the record early or something?

Well fuck, report came back positive. Now I really don't know what to do. Leaving it kind of sucks, any time someone bangs the ceiling or install my projector I'm releasing asbestos into the air? Crap

Didn't get to watch the game today but god damn, lost both Cooks AND Kupp on my fantasy team and my real team? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I've built a studio in a 3 car garage with interior walls bolted to the cement, full wiring, baffled, ceiling, muding, taping, painting, but I left it flat and didn't bother making the ceiling look perfect. Yeah, I fucking hated every bit of the ceiling work. I wasn't even going to touch the...

I'm going to scrape a bit off in the closet and take it in for testing tomorrow. Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, just if you're going to paint walls like we are and then move in doing the ceilings afterwards is going to be an even bigger pain in the dick, else I wouldn't be considering it at all.

Removal is easy yeah I've checked videos, the problem is if it has Asbestos in it. Generally people used that shit to cover flaws so they wouldn't have to finish the ceiling, so once you remove it you probably have to do the finishing work that was avoided in the first place. That's my main...

Dad is trying to convince me to remove popcorn ceilings, I've read its possible they have Asbestos in them if installed before 77? We only have this next week. I removed the living room carpet and found hard wood floors underneath so I'll need to repair, sand, and refinish that area. We're...

Myself! Nah, I don't even know, wife just hates spiders mostly, don't think there is an infestation or anything. (also this is a house we just bought and we arent moving in for another week so we have time to clean it)

So been reading around the net and should I not bug bomb and instead do some spraying around the outside of the house?

Planning on 4 times the suck?

When will the Colts not suck again?

So it's been a long time since I've painted anything and all I really have is a ladder. Need to paint at least 2 rooms, maybe more, any advice on tools/paint? Any other things you'd do before moving into your new house? Planning on bug bombing, cleaning carpets, changing locks, and painting...

Place is in great shape, all the insulation is massive and in place, gas furnace/water heater, pretty much everything is brand new. There are definitely things that need to be improved but fuck it, I own land.

Nah, are you kidding, I like Tony Romo like a billion times more as a caster. He is so good it's making me wish he'd come back to playing and win something, but not for you. No, not for you.

Going to be considering security options too, feel like too obvious a set up is asking for people to think something is worth stealing though lol. Talking about maybe bug bombing first, cleaning carpets the day after and cleaning/doing whatever painting or shit we want to do (and change locks...

Thanks, I was looking at Schlage do you think the is the model to go for? I'd say I probably want the entire door set but the other part of me is thinking about rekeying the deadbolt and waiting for a black friday sale (or any good sale for that matter)

Guess I'm a grown up now, closed on a house today, waiting for the recording of the deed. So now do I move this conversation to the Home Improvement thread? lol Thinking about buying a smart lock to replace current front door locks only, any recommendations?

People just legit wander off after a time and we don't get many new people, it's a shame but the rules and bullshit with the NFL over the past couple of seasons has done it's own damage as well. Most of those guys have been gone a long time, rip @Sutekh @Grimmlokk @Famm @edko

See, make fun of Cowboys, get tons of posts! Genjiro invoked Pats fans, let's see what happens next!

They have Tavon Austin now, haven't you heard?!?

It's because the Cowgirls suck again.
