That gives a fast result. <br />Brgds. <br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-62310219628022212952013-06-20T03:16:47.731-07:002013-06-20T03:16:47.731-07:00I like the boys' metalwork!

It works great.<br /><br />Renovations like this can be a pain, but I notice that if a contractor does something I could have done myself, their standards aren't as high as mine. Therefore, I try to do as much of this kind of stuff as possible. It is time consuming, but if you want it done right...Brian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-57596603052801280292013-06-18T09:38:43.479-07:002013-06-18T09:38:43.479-07:00I actually never thought about painting the tank a...I actually never thought about painting the tank and the boat, but it might be a good idea. I'll pass on the suggestion to the proud owners.<br />I wouldn't say that our house is the type with a fancy moulding, but there is a little here and there.<br />My father once helped me build up a crown moulding on a cabinet for the kitchen of various different pieces. Once it has been painted (a cream colour in our kitchen), it looks like one huge profile.<br />Our bedroom is the only one that has got wooden walls all the way from the floor to the ceiling, so those windows will be OK to finish. The rest of the rooms have got plaster on the upper part of the wall by the window, and that is not so fun to work with. Once fitted it will need to be primed and painted etc. <br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-30463072121923191272013-06-18T06:09:34.972-07:002013-06-18T06:09:34.972-07:00I love the tank and boat.

I personally haven't done any sheet metal work since my former company closed down. I don't know how you feel, but I love installing trim and mouldings, especially when you need to build them up from separate pieces. Unfortunately my house isn't the type of house that would look correct with a lot of fancy trim work, but before my daughter was born I was able to experiment in her future bedroom and I made the crown moulding using built up pieces of flat stock and cove moulding. I think it turned out really great and the best part is that when you look at it you would never know that it's not a true "crown". Many people have asked where I purchased it and I always tell them that I made it and they don't believe it. I was also able to do some experimenting when we gutted out the family room of our house. So I hope you manage to have fun doing all of the trim work, and even get to experiment a little.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
