I had the same thing happen and had to throw it away. I never did know how or why it happened.
Hope someone has the answer.

Beekeepers generally have some on hand. I'm thinking there should a listing locally.

I have the same fence and to help it move easier I used Teflon tape on the bottom and now it rides really easy.

You have a nice idea and I will try it too.

Tony,

Expect a variety of answers to your question. I would use the recommended primer from the manufacturer of the top coat you buy. That said, I'd go with Ben Moore Advance or SW pro classic. As I mentioned in your other thread, Advance is cheaper for me so that's what I use. I've used both and I really can't tell any discernible difference. They are both waterborne as well. Ben Moore will have an undercoater they recommend for it. That's what I'd do.

It's also worth mentioning that you could use BIN or even Kilz but they will both stink up the house. They also spray much better then applied by brush or roller. I'm at the point now where there's really no need to spray anything solvent based in an occupied residence when it comes to interior paint. It's worth the extra money, for me, to pay for the waterborne paints. One of the most important things to consider when aiming for a smooth, professional finish coat, is how well the undercoater will sand. Do not use Kilz latex primer--it sands terribly. It might be fine for a basement wall (maybe) but nothing that will be finish sanded. It's just too soft. That's where getting a professional product will really shine when going with a waterborne undercoater. It will cost you more but it's worth it.

A previous owner of our house put in basement doors, and then put a berm around the doors so that the water would not drain in. The people we bought the house from didn't like the berm, so they paid someone to come in, take all the topsoil from about 1/3 the yard, and sloped the lawn back into the house. As you might surmise, that led to flooding. I tried the sump pump approach, but that's not easy. It usually flooded when it rained hard and there was snow on the ground. There is no easy way to put in a french drain or anything like that, our lawn doesn't have much slope in it from that end of the house.

When we replaced our deck, I had them dig about 6' down and put in gravel. I also had them raise the level of the yard around the landing. It works. I have wondered if it will stop working sometime in the future as the gravel gets fouled.

For me this baby keeps drawing me in.....till I see the $5500 price tag

but 4" thick, 46"wide and more than 11 feet long and weighing in at 175 BF and 1000 pounds.....now THAT is a table that will last.

Glad I make urns....I could never get caught up buying a slab like this

That's some expensive substrate. Seems like overkill

Long ago, a poster here asked a question about blind fret. The OP didn't use that phrase, referring to the fret as molding, but that was his topic.
Today, I checked out a favorite blog, "Pegs and Tails." In today's entry, blog author Jack Plane posts an excellent lesson regarding blind fret.

At first I do like it. But gotta do some reading... only thing I have seen so far is that it's pricey but it is fast...

Well did some reading and I don't mind the system however at $45 a linear foot plus $60 corners, putty, screws and other extras it's quite expensive. It's a fast system designed for the homeowner with few tools and experience.
I like the high r value but it seems higher than it should be.
I really like not having to tape and bed. That is something that needs to be a part of the past somehow. I assume they are using some sort of elastomer for the joints.

I'd say if $ isn't an issue it's a fast easy way to do it but for the rest of us it's neat but not a realistic option. Course I'm jealous of anyone that has a basement. Double the living space at no extra cost.

Well that stinks. I keep thinking I need to take a trip out there, but never seemed to find the time or opportunity. Guess I missed my chance. Hope it works out for them.
