So you live in the boonies of NV, huh? Do you get mail service? :) How about giving mail order a try? VGA is a standard. It's crummy, but it is a standard. To get the right adapter you need to know what model of MacBook you have ('Apple menu/About this Mac...' and click on 'More Info...'...

Thanks for everyone's input. We ended up hiring a tile guy to do the hearth and 4 ft. up the fireplace. We went with metal lath and mud for the base and to build it out some. I talked to the owner of the local fireplace store about the missing lintel. He said don't worry about it. After the...

So the LOML wants to use a stain she found (oil based). I like to use water based finishes, especially poly. Will these two play well together?

We have a painted brick fireplace that we would like to reface with stone tiles (12x24). The first bid we got is going to use a primer (Tec Multipurpose Primer http://www.tecspecialty.com/content/products.aspx?product_id=149 ) to prep the brick. Next the tiles will be thinset to the brick. I...

Little late to the party. Here's my version. Took 18 minutes! Reminds me of the final exams I gave in PageMaker and InDesign. Some students had no problems, some sweating bullets. I'm still in the latter group w/ SU! :)

We have a full granite back splash (see pic, I hope!). SWMBO wants it GONE! We'd like to save the granite and take it out without breaking. :rofl: It will be replaced with tile so I don't care if the sheetrock needs replacing. The largest piece is 17" x 64". Has anyone done this? All advise...

I'm ready to order hinges for my kitchen cabinets and have some questions. These are for face frame cabinets, 1/2in. overlay. I'm looking at the Blum Compact 33 (110 degree) and Compact 38 (105 degree) hinges. Is there an advantage to one over the other? Best price I've seen so far is...

:wave: From a long time lurker, infrequent poster… I've glued up my kitchen doors and drawer fronts and need to check for glue spots. I've used mineral spirits before to do this when I’ve used oil based stains and finishes. This time I’m using Transtint dye in DNA and finishing with Target’s...
