Trim off lower branches on Pine Trees? Pros and Cons?
Comments (39)I just feel like it drags on the ground and needs some space under. ??? ==>> actually ... given a big enough garden.. many conifer collectors specifically collect trees the 'skirt' ... that is.. grow to the ground and spread out ... but then.. i have 5 acres ... and space for such ... besides... once you lift the canopy.. you have to weed and mulch in the bare ground you created .. all that said ... its your plants.. do whatever you want with them .. make yourself happy ... and who cares what the rest of us say .. or think ... ken btw:.. a horticulturist walks into a bar and sees a biologist .. and says to himself.. who cares ..lol ... and his friend says.. but hes a professor ... and the horticulturist says... so what ... well this is an epic fail...lol: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffnt&q=conifer+skirts&iax=images&ia=images somewhat better: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pendulous+conifer+that+grow+to+the+ground+and+create+skirts&t=ffnt&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images do whatever you want to your trees ... ken...See MoreFamily Room in new house - knotty pine paneling help!
Comments (76)Well, I've called all around and any of the wood "reclamation" companies aren't real interested in pine boards. Those that may be would require me to take it all down, sort by size and stack and bind all the boards up for shipping, and they're in different states I figure they're not going to pay much if anything for it once they figure their transportation costs. I could give it to habitat for humanity I guess, but again, someone would have to carefully dismantle it all, stack and take it there and we don't have a truck. I was hoping against hope there would some company out there that would come and take it down and haul it away - I'd give it to them for free just for their labor. Now if it was cherry, or hickory or something interesting like barn siding I think I'd have some takers! :-)...See MoreNeed help picking a pine
Comments (43)Oh dear, that doesn't look good. When I'm down there, it seems like I'm the only person in the state that likes and cares about Pinus elliota stands. To me, they are a thing of rare and exceeding beauty, these "pine flatwoods". But to all the guys in bulldozers pushing them into piles, no such love appears to exist! The map does not appear to show that pathogen as active in the area I frequent-the Fort Myers area. Thanks. +oM...See MoreMedium Stained Trim, White or Pine interior doors?
Comments (16)Pricing wise, the wooden interior doors are more than double. The front door on the house also costs a good chunk more to get a stainable fiberglass material. If I have wood interior doors, I would want at least the inside portion of the front door to be wood, too. However, it is more of an oak and limited to gel stain kits, while my trim will definitely be pine. I feel like I may have too much wood in the house after wooden birch cabinets, stained pine base, stained pine window jambs, stained pine window casing, and stained pine door casing. Wooden doors would flow with the wood trim, but they would be big chunks of stained wood. Looking around online I see a lot of painted trim and stained wooden doors but NOT near as much stained trim and painted doors. However, I have wondered if I had doors painted a darker color, then maybe the wood stained trim would not look so broken up from the doors. Hoping to get a second opinion on this idea and if anyone has some photos of what I am talking about that'd be good to look over....See More

6 years agoMy home was also built in the late 90s and I have very similar dental crown molding. We did decide to paint it white and the result is gorgeous but it was one of the most painstaking and time consuming DIY jobs I have ever taken on (and we have renovated a kitchen)! We sprayed it with primer first but it took forever to get paint to cover the wood. We also had a tough time getting paint to stick inside the "teeth" and not have drips. We literally had to take a small brush and go over the sides of each tooth to get the paint to cover and not drip. Thank goodness for my parents and in-laws who were willing to help otherwise I think I would still be painting that trim 8 months later!

6 years agoWhite painted trip could look very good, but I rather like your pine. It looks to be in super condition. How about just painting the crown moulding and baseboards? (That's presuming you want to go through all the pain Kristie mentions. Ayayay. Or hire a good pro, of course.) Leave the doors and the fireplace, which is so beautiful, for now. You can always paint them later.
What I would not do is have a wood-framed mirror on the mantel, the two woods are disagreeing like a grumpy old married couple. Either place art there or find another -- more interesting -- mirror, I think.

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoI paint wood/brick in a blink, and yet, this trim seems so nice and well made, I would choose painting walls vs trim. I love a subtle to middle tone of gray, something like this. Also easier to do. If you strongly object to the golden oak, painting trim would work
