You can paint plank wood flooring. Be sure to fill in all the cracks with a decent wood putty first. Its best to use a oil base semi gloss paint.

Don't use a regular Paint Sprayer. You need to rent a HVLP Sprayer (High Velocity Low Pressure). Also called a Fine Finish Sprayer. Practice on a scrap piece of wood until you get the technique down. Watch the overspray!!!!

Why not give Linos a call

by Michael,M

I had challenging kitchen remodel completed by Lino. The building is a pre-war presenting many difficulties. Lino was incredible in completing the work and providing a masterful job on the cabinets, walls, ceilings, floors, and trim mouldings.

I had wanted something specific in a medicine cabinet, and found a place that did a custom-made medicine cabinet for less than a high-end Robern would have cost. Very nice work.

If it still exists, it's a place out on Long Island called Glissade.

I think I'll start a blog that says "Permeability Rocks!"

Why use concrete and then put in a drainpipe to our overloaded sewers? If you let it drain naturally through sand, you won't need a pipe at all. Our 180sq ft flagstone were laid over 4-6" sand several years ago and have had no water problems at all.

The houses in my row have original bluestone patios (118 yrs old) off the back of them. *Most* of them are very cracked the reason being tree roots.

I'm sure when these were laid the trees weren't mature but since the stones have really taken a beating. I'm not sure if you have any trees around but the root will lift the stones right up as they grow. Concrete might help prevent it. Not sure.

Posted by: TownhouseLady at October 2, 2008 2:12 PM in response to Patio - Cement or not?

Concrete will NOT help prevent tree roots from lifting/cracking concrete -- just look at old street trees and the concrete around them!

Posted by: SenatorStreet at October 2, 2008 3:20 PM in response to Patio - Cement or not?

I've been thinking about the same issue. Another factor I need to consider is the pitch of my property. I am assuming you need to grade first, then lay down sand and then lay down bluestone or pavers etc?

Um, reno blog anyone? Some folks are in the process of this right now...
