Pack of the Variety Kind.
?Your list is long, babe.? The refrain I hear often from Mike, though he never ever means it as heartless as it may read. Sure, yeah, it?s a nudge but it?s never ill-willed in any sense. He's not a jerk.
After fourteen years together as of the other day, we?re well versed in Mike-speak/Becky-speak. Jeez, fourteen"! Wow. Man, time flies when you're having fun.
But you know what's sad" When he's onto your game.
Like for instance. I had this threshold dilemma in the hall bath. I didn't want a cheapy crappy metal one after the massive amounts of work I put into that floor. Didn't want a big bump of a wood one. Nor did I want to spend a trillion dollars on a freakin? threshold.
What I wanted was a metal transition, flush, just plain and simple, a strip, divide the floor. Kinda like the tile edges but at this point it's obviously way too late to get one in there.
So I picked up a square dowel* and some Rub n' Buff* in antique gold. Make my own faux, why not!
With my rotary tool,* I ground out and cleaned up the space between the tile and the wood floor to make room for the dowel. Next came a sh*t ton of custom trimming using the band saw, sanding, band saw, sanding....let's just say I didn't need a Stairmaster that day, ahem.
Once it fit, I smeared on the Rub n' Buff, buffed it in. I tried to seal it up with some paste wax* but that made the Rub n' Buff green; off that cam...
