Yikes...all that hard work and more time....It looked so nice in the photo.....Once it's done you'll be glad and can forget all the hassle....will be glad for you when your laying the the tiles over it....and it will be out of sight.

 

[Waldo]

NW is right buddy....Once it is finished and you begin enjoying it all this will be just a memory and a topic of discussion over a glass of fine wine.

 

[OilnH2O]

I'm with Waldo, Wade! Enjoy it when it's done!

(And I hope that you aren't feeling that pain in your back years from now along with those memories!

)

Funny thing the old saying..... measure twice ..cut once!! comes to mind , My wife said I do the same things Wade, Im a typical maleI only read the directions afteri know i have done it wrong lol

She says I could save myself a lot of aggravation if I take the time to read!! How do u argue with that!! Just a thought that came to mind , Im doing some renos to our home, that she has asked me to do and I heard those words from her on more than one occasion, let me tell you!!

.

 

[Wade E]

Yea, yea, yea. Do I have to hear it from you too!

Actually I was mixing and she came up with the asmount of water and I
never dble checked as She's always righjt, except when shes wrong but
you didnt hear that from me!

 

[NorthernWinos]

With that much water in there it probably self-leveled nicely....

 

[Wade E]

yea your not kidding NW. Thats exactly what I said when I poured it until it didnt dry.

 

[PeterZ]

wade, I think you have learned what I have learned. Even when she's wrong, she's right. Just say "Yes, dear, I measured wrong."

On the upside, even though you have 2x the water specified, since it is being used only as a leveler over an existing concrete floor, the weakness that results is not very important. Once you get the linoleum over it, it should be fine. Just be careful not to gouge it before then, as it will be kind of soft.

Well went to get a special switch to convert a single switch to a 3-way
so that when we go downstairs I can shut the light off at the bottom of
the stairs now because the wiring is run through a few places that are
not accessible to get to. It is a remote 3-way swithch that runs off a
relay or battery instead of running a new wire to the old switch which
can not be done without ripping out alot of existing sheetrock and is
not worth tearing out as the switch would be cheaper and alot easier.
The only problem is I had to special order it and have to wait till
Thursday to pick it up so again Im on hold to sheetrock. I guess Ill
start framing the wine storage area and the bedroom then. I really
wanted to get this room done first so I can get all my stuff that is
scattered through out the house back into one room. Uggggg!

 

[grapeman]

Boy Wade you really are inpatient and want things RIGHT NOW! How on earth do you ever make wine without going nuts over waiting?

That really is a good idea about the switch. I would say well worth waiting a few days for.

 

[JimCook]

Wade is the only guy I know that can age a wine 2 years in about 2 minutes.

[JWMINNESOTA]

Yup, and We All Know it takes at Least a week to get two years worth

 

[Wade E]

You guys are to much!

I framed out the wine storage area today and hung the doors in the
winemaking area. Tommorrow Ill frame the bedroom and get 2 more doors
and hopefully hang them too then its time to start wiring the rest.

 

[NorthernWinos]

So.....where's the photos??????????

 

[Wade E]

Itll look the same except for 2 plain doors now.

And yes I am very impatient because I cant stand a messy place. Thats
why its not bad for me with the wine cause its not a mess, its very
pretty actually.

 

[Wade E]

Well I picked up linoleum and cabs for the room and have a countertop.
Cantwait to get that switch so I can finish the wiring and start
sheetrocking.

 

[bmorosco]

Wade great job so far!! wish you luck with the room...Building stuff is always a challenge even if you have the directions right in front of you..But when it is done it is what makes it even more satisfying!!! Good LUCK!!

 

[Wade E]

Well I got the linoleum laid today and thats a really fun job when
there is nooks and a furnace to work around. Came out alright but I
wouldnt do my kitchen as Id fire myself but good enough for the
wineroom. I bought the cheapest one I could find just to get something
sanitary on the floor that can be cleaned. Floor was still not
perfectly flat but at $30 bucks a bag it was alot better than it was
and good enough!

[NorthernWinos]

That will clean up nice and always look nice....keep those photos coming

 

[OilnH2O]

I think it looks GREAT!

And...if those diamonds on the vinyl flooring are green, I think I got a little bit of that same roll myself a few years ago!
