My Industrial Cabin Build

[ovrszd]

I've often wondered what they do with the culled lumber. His prices to me are competitive. So where do the warped sticks go?

My yard says they go back on the stack. 3rd time they are culled they are destroyed.

It took me a couple months of framing to get my house dryed in. It got rained and snowed on. Can’t say it affected the studs at all. My drywall guy did a good job. Just a few nail pops 25 years later.

Thanks for all the input on the drywall. They are certainly not fast. But will still probably be done before I finish the outside stuff.

A little cement work

Home depot paints. For interior colors. There is Behr and there is Glidden. Does anyone have experience with these paints? PreviouslyInpretty much stuck with Valspar but I am trying to get as much of what I have left to buy, from Home Depot.

I used the Glidden White Swan on top of Glidden Dry Wall primer. The paint still looks new after 27 years on the wall. I purchased the Glidden Paint from a Glidden Store and the gentleman actually talked me into applying the Glidden Primer and then coming back with the Glidden top coat. I am glad he did.

I stopped buying Behr a decade ago when the Federal Government forced the paint companies to change how they make their paint to save the planet from global warming. After that, Behr just wasn't what it used to be. Every now and then I'll have a client insist that I use Behr, and I'm reminded why I don't like it. My biggest issue is getting it to cover evenly, and for the wall to be all the same shade with just one coat. If it worked with 2 coats, I might not hate it so much, but I've had to do 5 coats for some collars. The darker the color the harder it is to get it right.

Glidden has always been a contractor grade paint. Same as Walmart paint. You can get it cheap in bulk, it looks ok from a distance, and when it's new, but it usually needs to be painted over again in a few years.

Valspar is my favorite for ease of use, and price. I can get better paint at Sherwin Williams of Kelly Moore, but for the same money, neither of those stores comes close to what Valspar does.

You can also get Valspar at ACE hardware.

Since Covid, when Sherwin Williams went crazy, I've been doing a lot more business with Kelly Moore. I rarely buy from Sherwin Williams if I don't have to. Clients decide this sometimes.

Cheap paint means you get to paint more often and spend more time doing it.

The Glidden employee I purchased the paint I used advised he was a painter for years until Arthritis slowed him down. He advised green dry wall needed a primer coat to prevent it from drinking or absorbing the paint. I haven’t been sorry or disappointed that I applied the primer coat per his instruction. The best I remember he also advised use two different types of rollers for the primer and top coat. I still have the three different sized “Cheater Boards” and step bench with paint holder he also recommended. The cheater boards shorten the paint time for the trim work and improved the quality of the paint job.

My whole house is Glidden. 5 gal buckets at a time. I sprayed primer and first coat, rolled 2nd coat. I haven’t painted it since in 25 yrs, but could use it now. It’s my favorite.

This has nothing to do with the home build. But we got paperwork from financing company acknowledging that we paid off our Kioti Tractor.
7 years. One less regular payment.

Have you ever tried Benjamin Moore? We got it at Ace hardware. It is a latex semi-gloss regal select. Wife says it doesn't lay out or level out smooth.

It is hard to find enamel paint for trim anymore.
