Comments (3)ajtrenkle, I'm in the same situation now as you were in 2011. I'm in the Chicago burbs too... Lake Zurich, IL What did you decide to do with painting your home? Did you go the Mad Dog primer route? Do you recall the painter's name who recommended Mad Dog? What painter did you go with? Thanks! Jim...See MorePainting, painting and oh, I have an oven now!

I asked our contractor to give me 3 days to paint (have to prime walls and ceilings and paint walls and ceilings)....See MoreDIY painting built ins - need some help!
Comments (11)The problem with TSP is that it turns oils and grease into a form of soap. It is not good to paint over soap either! It doesn't have to be flooded, but just rinsed. If there is an advantage to SP, it is it too dulls hard varnishes and enamels. For general cleaning, i agree with paintguy 22, Dirtex is a fine product that doesn't need all the rinsing that TSP does. I do feel that 100 grit sandpaper is too rough, possibly leaving scratches which might show through the new paint film.. 180 or 220 will dull, but not scratch. I prefer cut sheet sandpaper to sanding blocks. Most flat cabinet surfaces are not as flat as you think.,scalping of high spots and missing of low spots can result. Also, blocks don't get into machined detail like ogee routed edges....See MoreHelp with DIY Project - Painting Antique Furniture
Comments (26)It's taken me a while but I've finally finished the vanity - the wood wasn't in as great of shape so it was a bit tougher! Now I just need to decide on knobs. Should I get matching knobs with the side table or do something a bit larger/more interesting on the vanity? My only limitation is the two bottom drawers have larger holes, so the back of the knobs need to be a bit wider....See Morehendricus
