Thank you!

The lacquer was a pretty thin layer mostly to bring out the grain of the wood and give it a little smoother of a finish. I think a clear deck stain would probably be best for outdoors.

Yeah, do you know the best/easiest place to upload the file to share?

@@pnwconcretehouse8581 I also think you can attach it to this video. I've seen that many times.

@@ddddewey I added a link in the description, let me know if it works.

@@pnwconcretehouse8581 yes, it worked. Thank you.

Hey, that's really cool to hear, glad that you had great success with the project! Personally, I really like the look of a clear finish

@@pnwconcretehouse8581I ended up using tung oil to finish, looks great

I dug about a 4-5” trench and buried the bottom 1/4 of the slab and then packed the dirt back in tightly. It has held up great for years now.

I haven’t finished the matching sofa yet, I’ll give that a try. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks Dan, great minds think alike!

Appreciate it, thank you!

Thanks for the sub, and pushing me over the 600 milestone! Watch out Mr beast, I’m catching up :)

The 1st layer of thinset provides a rock solid base so the subfloor can't move/bend/flex anymore. (If you don't do this, a couple of months down the road you may see the grout cracking and tiles coming loose, especially in high traffic areas). The cement board adds another layer of strength and is what the top layer of thinset bonds with to cement the tile in place.

@@pnwconcretehouse8581 makes sense! thanks so much!!!

Thank you!

Thank you, glad you liked it!

Thank you!

Thank you! 😊

haha, thank you! I think I was using the longer extension to get the screws down into the pocket holes and just left it on for the rest of the build. No reason in particular, just it allows you to get a longer reach when you need it.

Great story Steve, thanks so much for sharing! We love hearing about your amazing work. Keep up the positive vibes and never stop building.

True, I've made similar bench snd didn't need to use pocket holes.

Thank you!

15" is correct for the base width

@pnwconcretehouse8581 thanks. I have created one this weekend with some design changes. Appreciated

@@asharsaleem1997 Hey that's awesome! how did it turn out?

@@pnwconcretehouse8581 very well. Not better then yours though :) . Appreciated and wish you best of luck for the future.

Good idea, I wouldn't have to fill the brad nail holes then, I'll give it a try on the next one!

#6 x 2 for the first layer of squares so the screw doesn't poke through the front face of the bench and #8 x 3 for the rest

Awesome! If you are a big fan of glue, you are going to love the next upcoming video!

Thank you! Just for reference we tiled about 1,500 sq ft, so these are the costs for that area. Tile: $3,380, I believe the cement board, thinset, grout, tile leveling system and misc supplies was about another 1k. So roughly 4.5K in costs. I did as much as could after work each day over about 2 weeks. We never got a quote from a contractor but I would imagine it would be multiple times more expensive.

Awesome, looks great!

Thank you very much!

Glad you liked it, and thank you for the anecdote from your childhood!

Looks like they don’t carry the exact model any longer. This one is similar, just choose add t-bar handle if you like the look of the long vertical pull handle. domadeco.com/copernicus.html

More expensive

Zillow says 1.4

Hard to go wrong with that combo!

Thank you! Not yet but my wife has definitely put that on the list. She just has not found the right ones yet…

@@pnwconcretehouse8581 cool I just bought a similar door 🚪 and picked out a beautiful modern rectangular prism light …

It was completed in 1999, not sure what build cost was.

I have Russian heritage, but born and live in the US.

Thank you! Yes it has been a lot of work and much more to come.

Thank you! There are two pins that you screw into the face of the door where the horizontal supports for the handle attach. You slide the handle onto them and then secure them in place with set screws.

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! You could do a miter joint on the ends to hide the end grain, I bet it would look really nice. I attempted to remove the rounded corners but I have a wimpy craftsman table saw the just doesn’t have the power for it. It took me about 20 min to get one side of a 2x4 done…

You are right, I actually did make it flush with the belt sander, but it certainly would be easier to do beforehand if you have a planer.

@@pnwconcretehouse8581 your 1x4 have square edges and the 2x4 are rounded. You need to sand a lot to remove the rounded edge.

@@b3arwithm3 Correct, a planer would be an easier way to do it

@@pnwconcretehouse8581I always run my 2x4 thru my table saw. The round edge looks bad. But I almost never use them for furniture because it is nearly impossible to find good straight pieces.

Dang, that's pricey! Where are you from?

@@pnwconcretehouse8581 I am from Malaysia. We don't have pine locally so its kinda pricey as its imported. And most wood I can find here locally are hard wood which itself is also pricey.

@@TCsAnythingGoes I bet it would look amazing built from hardwood, but super expensive!

Good point, I didn't think of doing it that way, but it should work. No AI, that's just me, I am not a professional voice over actor sorry.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you saying that!

Sorry, here is the link to the actual build video: th-cam.com/video/iBNqsDse-nE/w-d-xo.html

@@pnwconcretehouse8581 TY :)

Yes, however there is an option when you are ordering to add an electronic unlock button to the back of the pull handle so you don't need to use your key every time.

WA State

yeah she's cute
