Title: No more duct tape
Post by: Ace on December 08, 2010, 03:11:39 PM
holding the mirror in the new medicine cabinet that we recently built! The hardest part was getting the glue off from the tape! I had to hear about that, not to mention the tape itself! :)

Another project complete and off Susan's list of things to get done!

maybe a better picture!

I wish the moderators would allow for larger pics. It sure is a pain resizing pics every time we want to add one. Heck I can't even load one from my phone due to it having to be resized! This is the ONLY site I have this problem! Let's get with the times... the modern times that is!

Ace,

You don't have to make your pictures THAT small.  The limit is 128K, yours are a little more than 3K.

Alternately if you host your pictures somewhere, even on the free space you probably get from your ISP, you can make them any size you want.

Ace,

I use a free picture hosting, PhotoBucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com).  It is easy to upload pictures to PhotoBucket and then share them a variety of ways.  When posting pictures to this bulletin copy the direct link to the photo from PhotoBucket and then on this bulletin board type [ img ]paste the link here[ /img ] (there should not be any spaces between the brackets, but I had to add them here to prevent an error).

Hey Ace great looking job!  I have a question, the wall paper, where did you find that and did you put it up over plywood and if so how did you prep the seams where the plywood joins?

Pat and others thanks for the positive opinions!

The wall paper we used is off the shelf stuff found at Lowes. It's paintable but he haven't painted it yet and reall don't want to but we might have to in the br since the wall directly in front of the roof ac got dirty from the ac blowing directly on it.

As for the application Pat, we installed a door skin/luan type material on the plywood prior to the wall paper but painted it first with sizing paint! We tried to have very few seams in the luan.
