Home Improvements

one of my dumb kids ran through a locked bedroom door this weekend and busted out the door jamb opposite of the hinges.  is there an easy way to replace this or should i just get a whole new door frame?

[Seabiscuit36]

From my experience its just easier to get a whole new door frame.  The time you'll spend trying to get the hinges and everything back, its easier to just buy a whole frame and start from scratch.

its the jamb on the opposite side from the hinges...the door and hinge side jamb are fine.

Oh, i thought they all broke off.  If you can find the exact door to match then do that, just buy a board for the door jamb.  Thats the cheaper option, but you have to make sure you can get the exact door to match.

we just got some instant equity of 145k.   

thats the way to do it...well done.

Finally finished with the home purchase.  Contrary to popular posts, any CF'ers minus Lurking Weirdo are welcome.  We're out in the boonies, where Turkey Point lighthouse in Maryland is.  Ended up with 13.86 acres, 99 feet of true water frontage, and the house is situated between to state parks.  Great camping grounds as well as just beautiful land.  We need to get work done to the exterior, the interior is all cosmetic and mainly to keep my wife happy.  I'm farging pumped this is finally over.  Foreclosure purchases are a battle

Can you hunt on it?

How would your wife feel if she woke up one morning and I was sitting on your couch in my underwear scratching my balls and eating a burrito?

The correct answer is that it doesn't matter what that bitch thinks.

Disappointed that you're still in your underwear I'd imagine.

Oh yeah, congrats SB.

So this isn't really 'home improvement' as much as it is refurbishing old shtein, but anyway I bought an old Oskar Huber dresser for dirt cheap ($30) which was still in good condition. I did some minor repairs to it, sanded it down, primed it, painted it white and lavender and put it in my daughters room. Looks brand new.

And it won't fall apart.

Score.

the neighborhood Civic association says no, but everyone else has yards smaller than an acre, and ours has almost 14.  So i'm planning to hunt it, and just use a crossbow.  Deer are everywhere, and its not exactly sporting when you walk out back and there are 10 staring at you.  But if they fill the freezer the hell with it. 

SD, i'm sure she'd wonder why she keeps meeting people from CF and would expect otherwise. 

FF for the Win. 

I'll be bugging you guys for tips fixing shtein, but I was happy to find our closing ended up 10k less than we were planning for.  So that allots more money for fixing stuff up front now.

Score.

I found a canopy bed in need of some paint and repairs for around $50. Gonna do the same, the great thing is these pieces are actual wood and not zesty particle board.
