tony@CIC Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Tapcons would work well. I would definitely use cleats, they will make the mounting of the cabinets a lot easier. If you're looking for a safety margin you can use Liquid Nails or another construction adhesive on the back of the cleat before you tapcon it to the wall.

Just curious why you're using 2 X 4 vs. 1 X? The 1X would allow for more of a flush fit against the wall. The 2X will create a big gap on the sides of the cabinet.

Ended up using Tapcons per the HD hardware specialist rec. However, to add some extra grip, I also laid a bead of liquid nail on each wall cleat and cabinet cleat. Install was easy having ripped the 2x4's, then ripped them length wise at a 45 for the french cleat. Hung the wall cleat level after predrilling the Tapcons, screwed in the cabinet cleat and added a spacer at the bottom and hung them as easily as hanging a coat on the rack.

silver & black Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Tap cons will do fine. Buy the bit for the size screw you are going to use. Don't try just running them in without drilling.... you will crack the block or break the screw/and or screw bit. Tarheelvolvo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! just out of frame to the right of the picture is actually a huge, built in wood shelving unit the previous owner constructed and then nailed into the mortar. Spent last night demolishing the top portion and separating it from the bottom. Believe I'll try and salvage the bottom for a nice workbench and maybe a portion of the top as the shelves are nice and the price of wood is outrageous right now, lol! The rest of the shop is an utter disaster while I reorganize everything and get it back into the new cabinets.

GolfSpy_BOS Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 About a month ago the sliding door on our Honda Odyssey stopped working and one of the cables that runs to the motor snapped, causing the motor to Jam. We could only open that door about 6 inches. Finally got the replacement cables in and took the panels off today to see what was going on. The dealer quoted us over $400 if it was JUST the cable that snapped. $1200 is the motor was shot. I got the cables for $9.99. Got about half way through (removed the old cables, but the spindle is jammed on pretty good. I’ll wait until its a little warmer to pull the motor off and get the spindle loose. Otherwise it looks fine. At least now we have a working door and can take the kids in it again, even if we have to go old school and manually open it! What kills me is the fact that the deal is charging $400+ for this when it requires: 1. A screw driver 2. A 10mm socket wrench 3. Two human hands 4. Probably an hour of experienced time. edingc, MattF, sirchunksalot and 3 others 6 Quote Qi10 - Terra Forza White | Speedzone 5-wood - Ventus Blue 8S | G430 3-Hybrid - Kai'li White 80s SMS Pro 4-PW - Steelfiber i110S | MG3 Raw Black 50.09, 54.11, 58.11 - DG TI S200 Mezz Max | Pro V1x | Vortex Blade | Ghost Maverick Black Ops - Forum Edition | CaddyLite EZ v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kills me is the fact that the deal is charging $400+ for this when it requires: 1. A screw driver 2. A 10mm socket wrench 3. Two human hands 4. Probably an hour of experienced time. That's crazy! I'm glad to hear you're able to get the door to open now, even if it's manually. GolfSpy_BOS and tony@CIC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickp Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Does anyone else picks up furniture from the garbage and fix it up? I got a little side project, fixing up and old rocking chair. Sand, fill up the holes and re stain it. Short answer yes but that decades ago. It’s a great winter hobby and you’re recycling at same time.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpyShort answer yes but that decades ago.

Shankopotomous Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 My project for the weekend and this week is to repair some drywall seams and corners in the one hallway. It's been about 20 yeas since we built that addition and settling plus temp changes in the attic moved the ceiling joists enough to cause a few cracks. "Our" plan is to repaint that hallway so the mudwork needs to get done ahead of that. It's been a while since I have done mudding and I am definitely out of practice.

Unreal how much some places want to charge for replacement parts. I had a local chain tire store quote me $360 to replace the front pads and rotors on my car. The line-item quote showed they wanted $115 just for the set of pads! Instead, I got a brand new set of ceramic pads and drilled/slotted coated rotors delivered for $110 total and did it myself. My wife laments that I drive an older car (it's going on 17 years old this year), but the parts are cheap and it's relatively easy to work on. Easy savings if you can get a few standard tools and a warm-ish place to work. tony@CIC, Rickp, MaxEntropy and 3 others 6 Quote Unofficial WHS Handicap: 3.6 / Anti-Cap: 9.9 (Last Updated Sept. 1, 2024) Driver: Callaway Paradym TD (10.5°), 45.75", Fujikura Motore X F1 6X | Fitting Post 3 Wood: Cobra RadSpeed Big Tour (14.5°), 43", Fujikura Motore X F1 7X 20° Hybrid: PXG 0211 (2020 Model), 40.25", Mitsubishi Tensei AV RAW White 90X 4 Utility: Cobra KING Utility (2020 Model), 38.5", Aerotech SteelFiber i110cw Stiff 5-PW: Ben Hogan PTx Pro, 37" 7 Iron, Aerotech SteelFiber i125cw Stiff | Club Champion Fitting 50°, 54°, 58°: Edel SMS, V Grind, Nippon Modus 125 Wedge| Official Review Thread Putter: L.A.B.
