Gas. No messy wood soot and actually puts out heat, unlike electric. We bought it from a Doctor my wife works with. He had it installed in his house that he had moved to be a lake cabin. He took it out because he doesn't have natural gas at the lake, so we bought a 2 year old, $2000 fireplace for $500.
:tup:
Thanks.
haha
I very much would have liked to have done it, but for me, most everything comes down to time. My wife works weekend nights so I have a 2 and 4 year old to watch. I barely have enough time for meals and mowing the lawn any less working on a fireplace.Looks great man, did you install the tile/stone work your self of you got some guys to do it? If so you could of call me, my dad and my cuzin, we could do it for cheap
I have a pretty good start in the DVD/Blu-Ray department. I'm always looking for more, naturally.
You and me both.
My current TV is this one, however, once the cabinets are in and everything is finished, I'm looking to get either it's big brother or it's new big brother but with as fast as things change, I'm not set on anthing right now. Besides, TV's aren't real high on my list as I have too many other things to get done before I can go buy it anyway.
And now we're up to three years...
The catch is that I don't want to see the fixture and track, even low profile track, would stick up too much, hence the ropelight. Also, I don't want there to be a ton of light, just a glow, so 32 watt T8 fluorescent strips are out. The next option after that would be fiber, but I'd really rather not spend that much on it. Other options that I might consider, depending on how the ropelight does, would be puck lights, like what you put under the cabinets for counter top task lighting.
) and it came out to an average of around 12 footcandles, which should be decent, but I'll have to see how that looks at home before I ask the lighting rep to find two of them for me.
👍
Thanks, Boundary Layer.

Never ends.
I've been doing some minor cosmetic updates on the main floor of my house (paint, refinishing floors & cabinets, updating hardware, etc) for just the past 2 months and I'm already getting fed up with living in a deconstructed mess. Just want it done.
Correct. The door is already made and was intended to be just that - a door. Then I had the epiphany of the slide out and my wife, oddly enough, said she really liked the idea. To put that into perspective, I've hardly had any input from her the entire time. For her to finally have something to say besides "Do whatever you like" or "I trust you" (dangerous words, eh?
) this is something that has to happen.The other place I was looking was either $20/pair (so I would need 2 sets and nothing could possibly go wrong trying to align 4 drawer slides on one drawer, right?!?) or 300lb capacity for $120. Then I came across the other ones. I even called them today to make sure the price was for a pair and not each.
Our basement has been in various stages of disarray for entirely too long, too. Chunks of the wall torn out for new electrical wiring, concealed speaker wiring, gas line, etc. The old entertainment center was moved away from the wall so we could install the cabinets in the picture, then it had to finally go, blah, blah. Bit if a logistics nightmare. I'm still surprised my wife has been as patient as she has.I've been doing some minor cosmetic updates on the main floor of my house (paint, refinishing floors & cabinets, updating hardware, etc) for just the past 2 months and I'm already getting fed up with living in a deconstructed mess.
