Isn't Sheetrock a pain? I.am remodeling an entire trailer that was paneling, now Sheetrock. All new flooring, new windows, new doors, new cabinets, new showers/tubs/sinks, ductless heat pump.... everything!
Cool thing is it's right next door. I wanna work at night? No problem... I shoot the "orange peel" I think the gun was set that way when I bought it.

Yup, I hate doing Sheetrock. This is why most of my house is vmatch pine on the interior. Lol. That's a easy commute to work on the trailer, is it yours? A rental?

I too have saved a live through direct action. Not in the Military, but the training proved successful.

There are relatively few people who can say that they saved a life.
I'm proud to be one with you!

Yeah, you want the story, don't you?

I'm young, just discharged from the Army and I'm back in my Hometown of Lawrence, Kansas.

Lawrence, Kansas. A "College" town....

One night, a few Friends and I were at a local "watering hole,"
And, always observant, I noticed a confrontation between some "local biker dudes" and a man of Eastern Indian descent of some nature, obviously a newly arrived Student at the University, involved in a loud confrontation.

I'm really not sure what the beef was, but I followed the scene outside to the parking lot.

That's when a coward POS from behind cold-cocked the student.
Down he went like a sack of hammers. Knocked. Slap. Cold. OUT!

By then, the bartender comes outside and said that he had called the cops.

With the sound of sirens nearing, the biker dudes got on their bikes and left.

I knelt down beside the unconscious student and found that he wasn't breathing.

I positioned him and myself to begin artificial respiration.

Soon, I had him breathing on his own and becoming coherent.

By then, the police were on the scene followed by the ambulance.
I spoke briefly with the paramedics and retreated back inside for another beer....

Best,

Scott

Can you run a router to the top edge of the 1x4's to give a nice profile?

It is a rental my mother in law owns. When it is done we have to move everything out of our double wide into it so I can totally remodel this one (new roof....and three windows already done ). My mother in law owns the property. Then move everything back!

In a trailer, I've found 1/4" rock to be cheaper and easier to work with.
On interior walls.
For exterior walls, be sure to use sufficient R-Factor insulation and 1/2' rock.

You are going to be busy for sure! How is the economy in Brookings?

I used 1/2" everywhere. By using 1/2" my new door jambs fit perfectly!

I love those 6 panel pine prehung doors with the adjustable door jam. They run around $200 at Lowes around here but the big downfall is applying three coats of polyurethane by brush, takes forever!

How did those keys work out, Friend?

I hope the one that I visually read the cuts on works!

Usually "split-jamb" doors will work with 1/4" rock.

If not,
Most times, I've usually shimmed in under the rock to reach the width of the jamb thickness.

2x4 studs, right? Sometimes trailers use 1x4 for interior studs.....

Many tricks of the trade to those who know!

I have many tricks and tips....

What are you fixin'?

Scott, the code key works perfectly but the visual key is off very slightly. If I traced the original key would that be helpful in making a key?
Thanks again![emoji106]

Those are nice doors. The rental...all white. My place? Oak doors trim and base. Round corners and I use the round base corners.
Unless the wife wants these...

Now that's a trick I have never thought to use.

Ah!

I claimed to like codes better....

I'm certain that I'm not far off.

Allow me some time to research code locations. If any at all.

Hope you aren't in a big hurry, Friend!

Very nice angles! 45 degrees each, right? On the inside...

22.5 each on the outside....Yes?

(I see the rounded, sheetrock corner bead used....
AND THE "KNOCK-DOWN" WALL TEXTURE...)

What compound-miter saw do you have?

Best,

Scott

I generally hate and avoid "multi piece" outside corner base trim....
It usually is damaged within a year and customers hate "Dings."

That, and I can't count how many times I was so close to the perfect fit when,

WHAM! The piece breaks horizontally in half along a vein in the wood!


PS.

I know of fine carpentry.

I once got a Friend a job at Reuter Organ Company.

The Reuter Organ Company — Home

I was called as a reference, and I said,
"I taught Ken everything I know. Now he is teaching me."

Oh, spoke with my friend, Ken, only 2 days ago...
He asked if I was comin' home...to Kansas this Christmas. After 10 years.....
That SOB hit my heart.

My Brother....

When will I be home?

Here's a tid-bit that I've learned along the way....

Older houses, with the taller ceilings, used a lot of yellow pine.

For trim and especially "bead-board."

Folks, this stuff is GOLD!

Any yellow pine salvaged is worth cash!

Gettin' more scarce, Dig!

This one is currently next door.


I also have a Delta industrial 12' that has dual lasers built into the guard, so you can see exactly the width of the blade, on the material!
Sweet for white trim. Left laser, right laser....small space in between....the blade! When cutting I have a vacuum set up where the "dust bag" would be. When I cut vac turns on very clean. I use 100 + tooth blades since finish carpentry is my specialty.
