House project update
Published:
Updated:
Went to store yesterday and purchased a small jar of colorized wood filler to fill holes on handrail mounting board.
Also purchased an 8 ft piece of 1x4 firring that had a clear section with no knots to repair the pull down attic stair bottom stringer that got broken years ago. Firring is knotty but I took the time to sort through the pile to find the piece I wanted which had about 6 foot of no knots and remaining 2 foot was knotty.
I have been leaning a step ladder against the top section of the pull down stairs and tied it up real good so it would not slip out from under me. The bottom section which folds down is still connected to the top section with one stringer not damaged.
A new pull down attic access unit cost about $200,00 or better. Plus the time to remove the old one and set in place the new one. All that is too cumbersome for me to handle plus it is generally a two man job. If I hired it done it would be about $500.00 or better to replace the whole unit.
So I will fix the stringer for the cost of the 1x4x8 firring strip which was about $3.00 and my free labor. If I hired a carpenter to just repair the one stringer would still cost a fair amount of money with the cost of labor these days.
When I went to the store a few weeks ago to purchase the three panes of glass I did not realize the price Each pane would cost. I asked the price after they were cut and handed to me. $17.00 each. I almost did a Biden while standing at the checkout paying for it.
When I feel up to it I will work on those two projects.
Update 4:50 PM
Filled the predrilled holes for the countersunk screws. Choice of color matched perfectly. Can not see where they were unless you know where to look. Got to get your eye up close to even see where they were filled.
