Handy-Man Corner
I'm tired of bad Chiefs news.....


I thought it would be a good idea for a thread on the Handy-Man.

Do you have any Home remedies, gadgets you've made, advice on car repair, home maint, sollutions to kill weeds in your yard, bugs in your garden?

Use Coke to clean your batteries? That type of stuff.
Home made floor dry?

Here's a picture of a small bathroom in my basement. The lighter colored tile in the middle is a limestone travertine.

Having sold floors for the past 25 years I can tell you that there is rarely an absolute right answer for the type of flooring each customer should buy. The room it's going in, kids/no kids, pets/no pets, budget, tastes in decor, DIY or professional installation, subfloor condition, local climate and a host of other issues.

The best advice I can give you is to look for a flooring dealer with a wide product selection and knowledgeable salespeople. Also, at least for the carpet, make sure professional installation is available, preferably not subcontracted.

Anyone buying floor coverings should feel free to PM me with questions. I'm not an installer but I'll gladly help with product info and estimating.

Those two pictures make the 2" tiles look askew. They don't actually look goofy in person.

I've already asked this once, but I'd love your opinion on VCT. We've more or less decided on it for our bathroom renovation. I know it's an unconventional choice, but we go for the whole modern/industrial look.

That's a nice, large piece of rock in the center. Nice patterning, though.

Is that one also slate or is it a ceramic variety?

Damn dude. You're Mr. Fancypants on your patterning. I thought I was being clever by laying the center row of 6" tiles between the two rows of 12", and you have to get all artsy fartsy.

That stuff adds a significant amount of time to the project, but what the heck - it's my house. I'm only doing it once.

The little mosaics inlaid are slate. The 16" tiles are a ceramic that do a really good job of looking like a natural product. It fooled me the first time I saw the stuff down.

VCT is obviously very functional. Lasts forever, easy to clean, etc. But if you like an industrial look, check out this stuff.....


http://www.metroflorusa.com/product_...collectionID=5


It costs a few $$ more per s/f than VCT but for smaller areas like bathrooms the actual cost won't be much difference at all. Very cool products, I've used them in residential and commercial jobs. I especially like the metal and stained concrete patterns. they would work well with the look you're shooting for.

Very cool! I'll bookmark that and have the wife (give someone a design degree and they think they get to make all the decisions) take a look when she returns from Indy.
