Level 5 sprayed finish...
Comments (7)sierraeast...Points well taken and I know the end result may not work out like we hope. The painter is a very good sprayer but not familiar with some of the newer paint formulas like Devine. Our intentions are to do some experimenting with the product in another structure before applying to the new build. If it happens that the finish is not up to our standards, we will back-roll happily. I am just enough of a nut to want to try something uncommon. I did find someone who has a fair amount of experience with the Devine products. He expressed that a sprayer on par with a Graco 695 or better is prefered. Tip size will likely be a 517. No dilution of the product would be best. The walls are crazy nice. But it has come at a price. If I ever do it again they will be plaster....See MoreWhat is acceptable level of defects on new cabinet doors?
Comments (4)Did you see or feel any doors prior to purchase? It's important to see a sample so you know what to expect. As to the knots? What is acceptable with one company might be totally unacceptable from another. So that is hard to say. When you see the rest of your doors, if you find a few more, then that is probably totally acceptable with that cabinet door company. If that is the ONLY door with a rough knot, then ask for a replacement. I have 4 cabinet lines in my showroom, the less expensive stock cabinets are definitely different in finish and wood clarity than my semi-custom or custom cabinets. Knots do occur in natural wood products....but maple doesn't usually have big knots unless it's a 'character maple'. Some minor touch ups are also to be expected. T should be careful when grabbing a door to carry around. He could've scratched it himself. I tried to goole Quality Door Company, but only found the link below. Is this the same company? It says "Quality Doors". Let us know how it all turns out. Good luck, Kompy Here is a link that might be useful: Quality Doors...See Morewhat's an acceptable level of "off"
Comments (64)thanks for checking in :) we're...creeping along. we got our new fridge panel - yippee! but we're still missing a desk area upper and a bunch of other things that are making it difficult to do things like install backsplash or under cabinet lights. electrician was here today to wire the under cab lights that can actually be installed. and work on wiring the appliances. but he didn't get as far as i would have hoped. we still have no running water on the first floor. i was promised it would happen by end of this week and now it's by end of next week. our new kitchen dining table was delivered and sitting in our family room because our front hallway is chock-full with boxes of bathroom fixtures and our fridge. i'm really, really, REALLY over living like this. really. but i'm praying it will be better in the next few weeks. we are supposedly getting all our random missing cabinets and missing pieces - there are so many - by next Tuesday keeping my fingers crossed!! anyway, thanks for asking! :)...See MoreDoes this look like Level 5 drywall to you?
Comments (6)I have Level 5 drywall with flat paint and 3 years after completed there are no visible imperfections. You are not being unreasonable in your expectations of the work and I would not accept the drywall finish either. With the trowel marks of the skim coat and uneven finish this work may be hard to "cover up" and may take a knock down finish on the ceiling to cover the mistakes. As far as waiting 10 months...I would get it fixed now and get something...if you paid for level 5 finish and have it in writing I don't see how you could lose a civil case on this and I would not let up...that is terrible workmanship....See MoreRipped Jeans Construction
