Wait you still write your own Reddit posts? As a large language model AI, I feel the need to point out there are chat bots for that, dude.

I just shrug and say “I value self sufficiency and learning new things”

I could be wrong on this, but I don't think a 2" foundation can legally exist. Especially not in an occupied space.

Ya I figured so which is why I didn’t want to nail/anchor it.

I was told 2” from the the builder and that the 2 post in the middle of the floor that support a beam have thicker footings underneath

If your floor is only 2" thick it'll crack just from looking at it funny. How is it / why do you think its only 2" thick?

Depends on which state you live in, there are different codes.

Cabinet makers don’t use wood with a prominent grain when the cabinets are going to be painted. Maple, alder, birch and even man-made boards are much better than oak, hickory, pecan or ash. Poplar is fine, but just a little more needy in terms of paint volume and prep work.

Feel grain?

1. Random orbit sander from 80 to 120 to higher grit until it's Smooth to the touch.

2. Most of the time on bare wood, primer first. Improves binding and hiding of the grain.

3. Paint.

The shower drain and the toilet drain are connected also the sinks drain for that matter all three should be capped off. If you plumber didn’t cap them I would get him back out there too or better yet get a better plumber too do the work right

The shower drained should be capped too because the trapp will not be refilled with water and will dry up allowing the smell to come up

I got good results with Benjamin Moore Advanced satin

Use floetrol. My doors came out perfect

Franks Red Hot. The ‘is pepsi ok?’ of hot sauces.

Behind my house was an old business building. It was like doctors offices and I think a barber shop and some apartments. Anyway, someone bought it and have been renovating it for the past few years and that's there's.

Apparently quad max isn't that great over time :(

Sugar soap seems to be the UK equivalent of TSP in the USA, however they're formulated slightly differently.

Thanks for the advice, I started scraping off the bubbles to patch (while the wall was slightly wet still from cleaning) and found the top layers of paint came off very easily even where there weren't bubbles. It looks like the best option is to scrape all the paint off back to a layer that is adhered properly.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just did the X test, the edges of the score came away slightly during scoring which the tape then removed, less than 1mm though.

The adhesion of the old paint seems to be the problem, I washed a new section and attempted to scrape off the bubbles as they appeared... While doing this a whole section of the paint came away, revealing a layer of blue paint. The blue paint seems to have adhered properly so it looks like the best option is to strip the whole wall of the top layers of paint

That's how I am with Dynaflex 230

Me too. It's all I use/keep in stock anymore(except for the real special use scenarios) . Jack of all caulks and it's really good at mostly everything.

Dont build a rager, and you will be fine. Use dry wood to keep smoking low, and your neighbors shouldn't have too much of a problem. If you are really concerned, you can just spray the wood fence and siding beforehand. I have been lighting shit on fire since I was a kid and never had to call the fire lords to banish my unwanted flames.

think aqua coat is what you want. never used it myself but believe youtube channel paint life tv did a video on it a few years ago they have several cabinet painting videos that are quite informative.

Interesting, I would say that you didn’t get the residual soap off the wall and it caused that reaction. Scrape off the bubbles, spot patch. Spot prime and you should be good

I did my cabinets with a Graco sprayer (I forgot the exact model but it’s the one around $600) and I got a great finish. Used Sherwin Williams Emerald.
