Putting red aside for now..... maybe?

Recommended Posts

The Tuul Crib

 This morning I did my routine Sunday and came in the back door of my kitchen only to find my Pella door it is completely rotted out from moisture. This really set the wheels in motion forA complete overhaul of my home which I built 20 years ago. So I have decided to start the process of building a new kitchen cabinets and two bathroom vanities.  I'm planning on retiring in five years and I surely don't want to do this when I'm retired. That is what my tractor collection is for. So today I decided to clean out the shop and put all my red parts and collection away for now and turn my shop back into a woodshop. I only hope 

this all doesnt take too long !!

It is amazing how much room a set of cabinets can take up while you are building them. As you go along please remember,  :wwp:

do you have a standing water issue close to the structure? adding a water drainage set up at the base of doors , or diversion helped me with a similar  problem. your shop looks like a nice set up , maybe a culvert stone drainage set up will help out. look up what others have done in similar areas, good luck , pete

Ya the back door was an issue over 

looked by the contractor 20 years ago.

There was alot off water water from

the heavy turd sinker rains we would 

sometimes get. Have since fixed the issue

but a bit too late. Im going to contact 

pella today and see what l can do to 

replace it. I will probably keep the door

and repair it somewhere done line.

While large rotted area need to be replaced, I've found this product good for repairing small areas.

The rot  is on the bottom or the rail of the door.  I'm just going to see if I can get another slab door I just spoke with Pella

 And they might be able to help me on the Warranty . 🤞

when we moved to our new house I had to do the same packed up all the fun tractor projects and toys for a year or so.  redoing the house was fun and learned a lot along the way.  I am cheap so I did most of it myself.  I would much rather stick metal together than hang drywall.

hey maybe you can use these things whatever they are?

 That looks like an art project to me. I've had my share of cabinet building and  installation  so that won't be a problem. 

 The hardest part will be looking at parts of my tractor collection and not being able to do anything with it . This will take sometime.

If you're anything like me, you'll be easily distracted and give into the temptation of working on your tractors!

 

Is the island existing? If it isn't and you plan on adding electrical to it, I can give you some pointers to save you some $$$ from using an electrician if you aren't familiar!

 I'm planning on building an island in the center of the kitchen. I'm going to turn to spindles 4 in.² and split them in two and use them at all four corners. I have had my share of electrical and plumbing over the years so that should not be a big problem . 

 As for my herd  it will be a challenge but this is something I have to do.

Great! Electrical is what i do for a living.. I graduated college 6 months ago but haven't found what I want to do yet. 

 

As for your herd, you'll have to defect once in a while to keep your sanity! :lol:

 You wouldn't by chance be a carpenter to do with you. We're looking for someone at the bus shop!
