Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds kzbin.infoUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR .

[@johnlocatelli9633]

Hi... some really great tips here. I'd like to offer up a couple that I use. 1. I use a small round bamboo skewers to pack out the hinge holes. 2. I use an "air wedge" to raise and lower the door to align the hinges. If you haven't seen an "air wedge" they are a great tool has a small hand ball pump and bag. Perfect tool for the job. Thanks for posting and Cheers.

[@rorybellamy2533]

Very Good method . use a damp rag when caulking, vacuum the floor before spray painting . if you take the carpet out the door painting can be painted in a room upstairs , Bin primer very good primer , maybe a little over kill as primer in a sprayer , Use the Airless sprayer for the doors too. like a NEW house!

the reason why pro decorators cut corners is because a lot of people of people aint willing to pay for a good job

[@jackwardley3626]

@@TheClickClick Painter and decorator 10 years uk thats is true sometimes and they probably weren't decorators anyway most likely handymen or gardeners that do that we have to work to budget a lot of time and we can't cover all the prep especially if the job is far away i don't mind losing a day if the job is only a couple a villages away

[@bondpit8750]

@@TheClickClick that’s the difference between knowing and not knowing how to hire if you’re the homeowner who is organizing his own job. Many homeowners are just looking for the cheapest price without understanding value. A good contractor will educate the customer on best practices and materials, and offer a couple of options. It’s all about managing expectations and making sure that everything is in writing and spelled out on your contract.

Hey! Definitely a huge difference bef/after. Beautiful. Since you asked for tips: installing new door handles- always do it before starting painting or at least before last coat, take it back, paint, and for last installing these definitely. So if we accidentally pinch with chisel or anything else we can repair before last coat of paint. Everything else is amazing. Cheers. 👍 Subscribed!!!
