re: Wood Privacy Fence - Last minute tips, advice?

[quote]Assuming I go with concrete, is the fast set "no mix" quikrete good? Wet the hole, pour the bag, spray it some more and it's good?[/quote]
You can basically do the same thing with regular Quikrete. The fast set stuff works well, but can sometimes set up too fast to work with.
Fast set co...

IMHO you are sacrificing longevity by not doing it right. A little more money spent now can save you some headaches down the road.
My example - A neighbor and I built our fences at about the same time years ago. He used a "no-sag gate kit" from HD (less $$) for his driveway gates. I had a guy bui...

Cedar or PT pine? I know cedar is more expensive, but to me it's worth it because I hate having pickets that eventually look like skis and have to be replaced.
I'm also not sold on setting posts in foam instead of concrete. I can't see how stable the foam will be during high winds. I would seriousl...

re: Shreveport: 12 year shot in head burgling cars

I worked with "at-risk" kids some time back in a residential job training program. Some of them were at the center by choice, others because their families made them go.
I took a liking to one young man who was genuinely interested in bettering himself. He knew he had to start by earning his GED, ...

After my own father passed in 2005, my father-in-law basically became my surrogate father. We were very close.
I watched my FIL deteriorate as a result of congestive heart failure and dementia. We noticed over Christmas that he was developing cognitive issues. Less than a year later, he was gone...

re: Fender Stratocasters, which is your favorite?
Posted by BasilFawlty on 3/14/24 at 10:57 am
I have a partscaster that is built around a 25th Anniversary Strat body. Crappy Porsche Silver finish and everything. Bought the body, neck, Fender tuners, Kahler trem, and prewired pickguard assembly from Jimmy Foster at Foster's Guitars in NOLA in '83. I assembled it with his help. I've upgraded i...
re: Sealing new concrete driveway
Posted by BasilFawlty on 2/28/24 at 10:41 am
[quote]Is there any reason to seal it[/quote]
You could. Just realize that just like any clear finish used outdoors it's not going to be permanent. UV, tire wear will break it down over time. And you can bet that it won't weather evenly. Some spots will look better than others....

re: Has anyone ever painted Vinyl Siding?
Posted by BasilFawlty on 2/21/24 at 3:25 pm
Use 100% acrylic latex, the best you can afford. The most sheen I would use is satin.
Sherwin, BMoore and Valspar Duramax are your best bets.
Pressure wash, using Jomax if necessary for mold or mildew.
Don't go with a color much darker than the siding already is, because dark colors can c...
