OHW

Thanks! I LOVE that table. We picked it up along with a bunch of other various pieces including an old cash register, old fireplace tools and other stuff for $150.

The saga continues, the hall is getting finished!

Thanks!

I've defrosted the freezer on the Norge twice now, using the hot water, towels and wooden spoon method. This should be faster...and cooler too, lol. I'm glad to say the freezer DOESN'T need to be defrosted at the moment, but I am now prepared when it does.

This was one of my gifts this year!! YAY!

But there were no instructions...does anyone know how to use it? Do I plug it in, set it in the freezer and close it for ??? minutes? Use it like a hair dryer and move it around near the walls/top? It has "feet"...

Just guessing...

Original radiator heat
Replaced with ducted
Re-replaced with radiator b/c someone preferred it and plumbing had been left?

First and foremost you have my sympathy. I also am constantly banging my head over paint, stain, and even where I should strip things or leave them alone.... I love the natural look of the beadboard shellacked. I did my back hall that way... So at least you have one vote in. Can't wait to see how i...

I wonder how long it takes to do that (linseed)? I have a few of my grandfathers wood working projects around that he did YEARS ago with it, and it might have darkened a little, but not much. I think it depends on who's selling what and where you read about it, because I've seen people recommend one...

FYI, we chose linseed because from my understanding Tung needs sanding between lapplications. It will take a few more applications of linseed before ours are "done". They are a bit blotchy right now but I only put on one coat and moved on, they will need several more and I think they will look great...

Thanks!! I couldn't wait to get it done, it was sooooo blah before. It took me a while to really decide what to do, but knowing we were putting some holes in the wall to run the wiring made it easier, I'm HORRIBLE at dry wall patching as well as mudding and taping. We were thinking the same, leave i...

We used linseed oil, I've never used waterlox or poly.....can't be of much help. Nice floors though!

Leaning towards not. We've got the dining room just about done. The debate is do we paint the beadboard (classic cottage style) or no.... Before and after below. Working on pics of the hall, it has matching beadboard with light blue gray paint above. Hall is directly to the right and shares a wall. ...
