I have used the Bher primer/sealer/paint- all in one from Home Dropout. Expensive, but surprised me as I did a one coat over fresh wood and covered very well.


I concur
:wink:

Oh and the front driveshaft is not hard to get out , 6 bolts per end, compress it some and it should come down out , pry the cap off, remove snap ring etc

Back in the day it was all about covering up those beautiful hardwood floors - all that craftsmanship got covered up - why...? With a nice area rug the room gets softened up but the hardwood is still visible - best of both worlds.

This thread is sounding more and more like an HGTV forum :shock:

And people wonder why I can't stand most new construction homes.

No offense to anyone. ;)

If I were to build a new house... oh boy would it be expensive. Hardwood flooring and FULL brick... top shelf stuff...

The way most houses are constructed these days just makes me want to cry. What happened to craftsmanship and imagination? I don't even use cookie cutters to make cookies. Why would I do that on something I am paying tens or hundreds of thousands on?!

I highly doubt you could find anyone that would build a " full brick " home now a days. They only know how to stick build and then cover with brick.
The hardwood floors of years ago is gone as well since we don't have the old growth wood they used, well unless you bought it out of old homes and reused it . Today's wood floors are nothing as good as they used to be.
Used to be if you only had wood floors people assumed you were poor since you didn't have them covered. Having an area rug/floor covering would do in most cases but still not as good as a carpet that covered everything etc.
All of the gingerbread trim they used to make and use is a lost art form as well pretty much

They did. The prototypes are probably in Cupertino, I'd imagine they still work. But why? There was no future with RISC processors.

There is a reason for the Intel switch.

Oh, and Tom, I had to google "gingerbread trim"...

They can keep that garbage. I always thought it was corny.

Yep typical stick build with brick fascia
The old brick homes had at least one layer of brick on the outside,(some had two layers) then a 4-5 inch space filled with sawdust and then the interior brick walls . They could be anywhere from 10 inches to 18-20 inches thick.

LOST HG Forum :jester:

Well it is chat, right?!?!?!?!?!

Having worked on many newer homes and also many custom homes that were well over $1,000,000 in value, I'll take my 1925 built home any day! :pepper: The things that make it home, warm and fuzzy just can't be bought now a days. I have been in many homes that were totally custom built to replicate what was done back in the day but they still lacked the tiny details. A true craftsman is so very hard to find in today slap them up and move on homes along with the mega million dollar homes. I did find in the more affluent homes we worked on, all they were was lip stick on pigs and built no better than the cheapo track homes down the street.
What rips my heart out is that when they converted my home to forced air heat they did a major hack job for the registers. I am pretty sure I have come up with a solution to remedy the issue with modern hardwood floor to trim out the register areas they hacked. Maybe even steal some flooring from closets and replace those areas I steal from with modern hardwoods, not garbage pergo. It will be a challenge because the hardwood floors I have are no longer made in this size but I enjoy a challenge. Also a great reason to buy more tools! :twisted:

Marlon, many of the older true all brick homes were made from larger hand made bricks and also many were on stone foundations, at least the ones I have run across. Once you see one they are really easy to spot, they were built like tanks. I also have never seen a full brick home in a subdivision, the ones I have seen were out in the country. Yours is stick built with a brick facia which there is nothing wrong with that at all.

Would ya also believe I am having a hard time finding a blade for my Fathers old coping saw? :shock:

Oh!

The BIG brick!

Now I know what you guys are talking about.

Oh look what I found. Nothing ever disappears from the internet. You just gotta look hard for it.

Image
I think I'm gonna leave the kitchen alone for now. Pretty sure you guys can guess where the dishwasher is going. I'm gonna rip that cabinet out... the drawer is broken anyway. :lol:

Remind me to buy a tape measure.

Image
I have no clue what to do with this livingroom besides throw a rug down and call it a day... well paint, of course.

Image
You'd think a ceiling fan or something was up here. Nope. Just a little spot for a lightbulb. wtf.

Not necessarily "big brick" most were pretty much the same size as we have today since it became a standard size many years ago. You can tell the older bricks though just from the look and feel. The way they were made back then also

Dishwasher? Don't need one for one person come on now :wink: :ROTFL:
I use mine couple of times a month just to keep it running so when I sell it'll be working. Takes forever to get enough dishes to fill it up
Looks like you may have to run some more circuits to the rooms for more outlets etc
Whats the Electrical panel look like ?
