3 boxes of mud on the wall. It's now sealed with a drywall sealer/primer. This remodel stuff is easy peasy!

That stuff you are calling dust is actually Man Glitter.

Re: My Office Remodel.

Hey guys I've got some small amount of tape residue on that cherry cap. What's good to use to take it off? Its lacquer.

Re: My Office Remodel.

Paint thinner. No acetone, no denatured alcohol. Maybe a citrus product.

Nice thing about simple lacquer is it will burn into itself for a nearly flawless refinish.

Re: My Office Remodel.

Everthing ties into my stair rails I built many moons ago. I can't even remember what I finished them with. I want to say poly.

Re: My Office Remodel.

Those stair beams used to be rough sawn wood. Butt ugly! I wrapped them with drywall and bullnose.

No he's not... can't you see that's the tool storage area?...

The two-by's are for a more rustic look and to stop the tools from overflowing onto the floor...

Re: My Office Remodel.

It's going to be behind the cabinets that are ordered. I want it left bare for wire access and a chase.

If that's all that is, you might want to consider still screwing some ply over it so it doesn't become a bug trail entrance point... they loves them some dark places to nest and grow... no sense in making it easy for them...
