How come we do not have a Gardenia forum?
Comments (4)If you think GW needs a gardenia forum, the place to post is the suggestions forum, linked below. The problem is that most forums dedicated to a single genus generate very little traffic, except for a few like the Hoya forum, that have extremely devoted and enthusiastic followings. Here is a link that might be useful: Suggestions...See MoreHelp. How do you find old posts that you made?
Comments (5)Always use the search box on the bottom of the page rather than the top! One further note: Threads drop off the Forum list about 6-8 weeks after the last post. So, if you have a thread that no one's posted to in the past couple of months, it will most likely have rolled off the Forum list and no longer be found when you do a search. Sometimes, a Google search will find an old thread, but there's no guarantee and, in my experience, you usually don't find them. However, IF you bookmarked the thread and it had at least one post after November/December 2007, you will probably be able to bring it up via the bookmark. [Posting to a thread after it's dropped of will not get it back on the list, but the later post(s) will show up if anyone links to the thread directly.] BTW...the 6-8 weeks is an estimate. It depends on how active the Forum is. In the case of Kitchens, we have 67 pages to the thread list...but if you look at that page you'll notice that the "oldest" post date/time right now (as I type) is Fri, Dec 5, 08 at 16:03...See MoreHow do we remove an old tile backsplash?
Comments (14)I'll go with Brickeyee's method...quicker, faster, easier. Most of all its the better one. Use a proper carpenter's knife or a lino knife to cut along the bottom and top then use a drywall saw to come down each stud. (buy a couple or three drywall saws, you will need them) You only have to smack out the tiles that are in the way of the up/down cuts. Less broken tile bits flying about, the better. (I'm assuming you don't have power tools...me, I'd tape/cover/protect the counter top, etc*. and use a recip saw with short blades...those blades will have Demo stamped or marked on them, wood blades won't work very long)((Actually the Demo blades may not either, depends on if its mastic or thinset right now)) I'll also back up his suggestion to lay ply or at least hardboard on the counter tops. *I'd also bag the upper cabs, paper the lowers and use a movable sheet of ply or board right under where I was actively smacking tile, lean this up against the lower cab faces, between you and the cabinets. I'd have the floor covered with paper and mover blankets in that order at the least. Then a sheet and a half of cement board re-installed where the drywall used to be, set your electrical boxes back in, thin set, tile, grout, caulk, done. Going over the old drywall is not a long term fix. Two day affair and that only to allow the thinset to set up overnight. If you spring for modified thinset with accelerated dry time you could do it in a long day. I know mastic works but I use thinset anywhere water is present. Even a backsplash....See MoreHow do we redesign and/or adding bath to new old house?
Comments (10)We added a bedroom to the finished attic space in our 1930’s house. We were able to steal space from a deep closet to add a 5x8 bath. The existing bath on the first floor is at the opposite side of the house. It was a major project cost wise and took finding the right contractor who saw the possibility. I’m a design pro so there were no design fees. Total budget ended up just over 20k. That’s $500 a sf but the house would have been unlivable for us otherwise. Was it a good investment? Not really. We’re just breaking even but if we ever do sell we would have a larger market. In the first picture in the upper corner you can see the wall at the top of the stairs we opened to access the former space from the closet....See MoreUser
