I'm going to put that in my quiver. My daughter was -3 when we got married. Perhaps a gasp at church in some ellipses.
The creaky pine floors did not disapoint. My bare feet and the floor have been making sweet love all weekend.I intend to live forever.
So far, so good.

Anyone have experience using the same pneumatic nail gun to do roofing and cement siding? It's for the barn, so function over form.
I'd hate to buy both since I'll likely not be using either again. I can buy one for the cost of renting both... So, I'd rather buy if I could get away with it.

Originally posted by Donuthole View PostRoofjng nailers are pretty weak. But they can shoot a nail with a big flat head, which is nice for holding down shingles. I don't know if those nails would penetrate cement siding. And I don't know if you could dial the pressure back on a siding gun to keep the nails from completely piercing the shingles.

So we purchased a fixer upper about a year ago. Good bones, but pretty much contractor-grade finishes everywhere. I've upgraded the floors throughout, but it's time to turn my attention to the master bath. We'll be replacing all of the shiny brass/gold light fixtures, faucets, and shower door for sure. Our shower, tub surround, and counters are all covered in contractor-grade 5"x5" white tile. It's like the homeless man's version of subway tile. It looks ok, but it would look a lot better with a little contrast. I don't really want to spend thousands of dollars to pay someone to re-tile the shower and tub, nor do I have the time to do it myself.
One compromise I have considered is replacing a couple rows of the white tile with a mosaic strip, and then using the same pattern to create a backsplash around the tub and sinks. Is it possible to remove 1-2 rows of tile without damaging the tile in the adjacent rows?
Here's a pic of the shower and the awesome gold door:
