kastein posted:I haven't done it in the basement yet either, maybe you're thinking of Jaded Burnout? I saw that going in with gypcrete in their thread. I think you may be thinking of someone else as well; I don't have a basement. Unless by "radiant heat" you're talking about underfloor heating, and not infrared?

kastein posted:Yeah, that's what we call underfloor heating in the United States of COVID19. At least what I've always seen it called. I didn't think it was in your basement since I didn't remember you having one, but it was the only thread I'd seen radiant/underfloor heating in recently. I do got a lot of it, for sure, under screed on the majority of the ground floor and between the joists everywhere else.

It's a fair point that my ones won't have seen a whole lot of snow, though you can bet they've made up for it in rain.

This is only reinforcing for me that tiling earns its place on my "never do it myself if at all possible" list.

Darchangel posted:I bought the glue when I got the flooring. There's a better than pretty good chance the glue is a nice, solid weight in the bucket now. Some projects just never get off the ground. I've got a box with a fibreglass kit slowly offgassing in a plastic crate somewhere, I'm betting those OCs won't be so V when I finally get around to it.

meatpimp posted:It's this, and it's maddening. The only way I see a fully flat wall happen is to skim coat the entire thing and then get something fancy like the Festool drywall sander and surface the entire wall. A decent plasterer will give you a perfectly serviceable smooth wall without much if any sanding, not sure how common they are in the US though.

Motronic posted:When you see people post/talk about textured walls they are not in the northeast. West coast in particular has nobody who knows how to finish a wall properly. Half the placed I see out there you can see the tape lines THROUGH the popcorn bullshit on the ceilings. The only downside I've found to having a long tradition of plastering trades is that they seem to judge their place in the hierarchy on how smooth they can get the final product to be, with "marble" or "glassy" being the pinnacle of the trade. Which is good in principle but I've found it can lead to walls so smooth that the paint doesn't have much to key onto and becomes more likely to lift off via painters' tape etc, so I wind up having to sand it anyway. But at least they're flat.

kastein posted:Jesus loving Christ. Sanding never ends. I'm going to be sanding this drat kitchen until I am old and gray. Or young and gray as the case may be, seeing as my dust collection system ain't so great. It may be too late to suggest this, but if you're using an orbital sander then I exclusively switched to abranet / autonet pads because the mesh nature of them prevents clogging and makes dust collection more effective.

Leperflesh posted:Fair enough! The next owner really ought to have at least one thing they can shake their fist at PO about, and given how insanely thorough you've been on everything else, this is a pretty drat minor quibble. You also don't have to put trim around the window opening if you don't want to.
