(this suggests the house is built on a slab). Right now it appears the front porch is a concrete slab about 48” depth from the front of the garage, with probably one step up from ground. May I suggest you start with some actual dimensions and create a floor plan of the existing situation? From this information you will be able to identify what is possible, practical, economical. As others have alluded to- you would not want to lower the value of your home by destroying the street appeal. You have a lovely bungalow ranch with some great street appeal. Definitely a better look! Project totals: Paint & Paint Supplies - $350 - Did it myself Countertops - $800 - installed Backsplash Tile - $250 - Installed $250 = $500 Floor Tile - Hard to say because this includes the whole entryway, entry hall, and landing for basement stairs. We also replaced the backsplash and continued the tile floor from our entry way, into the kitchen.
We moved the existing cabinets around a bit because there was originally an island that stuck out from the cabinets that are directly in front of the fridge. You just spray it down with 409 or windex and wipe it with a warm cloth, and it is good to go. It is also very easy to clean because of the hard sufarce it creates. It goes on very smooth with foam brushes and rollers, and so far is very durable. We had exactly the same cabinets as well, and I painted them with a Rustoleum brand paint that is used for refinishing countertops. I also second the suggestion of finding a good, local servicing dealer! Though heavy for its power, the Stihl 290 is one of the most reliable saws in Stihl's lineup, and is popular with occasional users because of its excellent price-to-power ratio. Of the models listed, the Husqvarna 353 and Stihl 260 are pro-grade saws and the others are very solid homeowner-grade saws. Any of these saws will be happy with an 18" setup. Also be aware that one can accomplish a LOT more work safer and faster with a big engine/short bar combination than with a smaller engine/longer bar.Īs for size, most "general homeowner use" tasks (firewood, cleanup, etc) can be accomplished with something in the size range of a Husqvarna 350/353 or Stihl 250/260/270/280/290. In sizing the saw, remember that a 16" bar can cut 32" material, cutting from both sides. If you want to learn more about saws, generally, head over to 's chainsaw discussion section - this topic has been covered dozens of times there and you will learn tons in 15 minutes of reading.Īs for what to buy, it is difficult to know without knowing exactly what your husband will be up against. The best advice I have to offer is this: stick with Stihl or Husqvarna.
