    Allow myself to introduce, myself...

    I thought the same thing! I was actually scanning the section to find my thread, to see if there were any updates, and thought this was MY thread!!! GREAT LINE!!!

    How should I put up this ceiling?

    So, what all is entailed in pulling a permit? Why is it needed, if it won't actually be a bedroom? If I need one, I need one. That's fine. One more question, I have never framed off a door. I have framed a recessed hole in a wall, and that was pretty easy. Is there anything I should keep in mind...

    How should I put up this ceiling?

    Those holes in the wall on the left are the vent holes. On the other side of the wall, there are vents covering the holes. I will keep the proper air circulation in the utility room. Now, why do you say that the utility room can't be next to a bedroom? The utility room is directly next to a...

    How should I put up this ceiling?

    The smaller, round tube is just the dryer vent. I can move that. The large, rectangular duct is the outlet from the HVAC system. I can't (within reason) move that. It would require much more work than I want to put into the job, and I don't want to hire an HVAC technician to do the work for me...

    Hello, Noob herre.

    It is a Moen faucet! I LOVE IT!!!!! I have replaced all of my faucets (except the jacuzzi bathroom's faucets) with Moens. I love the quality and styles of them! I also like the mantle clock, but unfortunately, it is a pretty cheap clock. Battery operated, electronic chime. Looks good, though!

    Hello, Noob herre.

    Thanks for the compliments. We bought the house in perfect, move-in condition! We have painted the accent wall a dark red in the kitchen, painted in the Master b/r, painted both upstairs regular b/r's, installed chair rails in both b/r's as well, Installed crown molding in the master...

    How should I put up this ceiling?

    Wow! Good idea, but I'm pretty sure the 3' requirement for the drop ceiling would not be doable. the mechanical components are only 1.5-2', and they are cutting it close! I know what you mean about painting them black, though. Like Chipotle's Mexican restaurant. Looks good, but I don't know how...

    How should I put up this ceiling?

    By the way, I'd frame off and drywall a new separating wall about 2 ft from that HVAC and water heater.

    How should I put up this ceiling?

    I have a full finished basement, but it has a HUGE utility room. It is wasted space, just used for storage now. I want to create a "media room" out of this unused space. It would be a fairly quick and easy job, but my ceiling is going to be the hard part. All of the HVAC duct work is going...

    Hello, Noob herre.

    Here's a few more.

    Hello, Noob herre.

    How's it going? I am new to the forum, but have been working on my house for a couple of years now. Nothing major, just a few small things here and there. I was on DIYchatroom, but haven't been able to bring them up for a week or so, so I thought I'd look for "bigger and better" opportunities...
