Big Weekend (And a call for Help)
OK, I've been working on our new house this week. All the new hardwood floorboards have been carted upstairs, and the carpet and baseboards have all been ripped out. We lost too much time on closing to put in overhead lighting or housewide ethernet cabling, so I'm skipping that for now, and we'll add it in later.
If you can help me out anytime between Friday and Sunday this weekend, I could really, really use your help. We're going to be painting walls and ceilings and installing hardwood floors, probably concurrently (as in, painting one room whilst installing floors in another, then switching).
stormking: Can we still borrow that air compressor and nailer from you? I can stop by whenever it is convenient for you.
Does anyone have a tablesaw capable of ripping up to 5 feet of hardwood? I've already got a power mitre saw for cutting ends, but I'll need something for lengthwise cuts. I do have a circular saw, so I guess in theory I could build something to make it a kind of table saw, but I'd rather have something that was more accurate than I could build out of scrap lumber.
On Friday, I'll be at the new place ( directions, flocked) starting at 9:00am, and probably mostly painting until 6:00pm or 7:00pm (we might do a little bit of floor work, but probably just cutting and last-minute prepping).
On Saturday, I'll probably be there at much the same time frame, from 9:00am to 6:00pm, at which point I'll probably head over to werewulf's place for a party. This will probably be concentrating on laying floors, so it's REALLY helpful to have one person on the mitre, one person on the tablesaw, one person measuring, one person nailing, and one person to stand around and look pretty.
Sunday schedule is TBD, but will probably be more like 11:00am to 4:00pm.
Please, help!
cchan8, yes, we do have Ico, which I thought I pulled out, but looks like I packed up, instead. I'll get it back to you, I swear!
