... I want some boards that match the profile on my window sills. Can & where can i buy lumber with the profile on it ? Chances are that you will not be able to find lumber that already matches the profile of your window sills. But the place to look and ask would be at regular lumber yards in your area and not Home Depot, Lowes, etc. If the profile is not too complicated, it may be able to be reproduced using a router and the right router bits, etc. Shows like This Old House make it look easy, but you need the right tools etc. to do it. |

... I want some boards that match the profile on my window sills. Can & where can i buy lumber with the profile on it ? Standard profiles are called "mouldings:" most wholesalers publish pocket catalogues that you can pick up at vendors (e.g. Home Depot.) Non-standard profiles are made to order by lumber dealers who do "millwork" (cf. Yellow Pages.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

"desgnr" wrote in message ... I want some boards that match the profile on my window sills. Can & where can i buy lumber with the profile on it ? You may have to just search your yellow pages, starting there, then asking for shops who sell what you want. We wanted to do some special wide baseboard. We started calling, and soon found a warehouse very close to us that had just about everything made. It was a couple of streets off the main drag, but we would have never ever found it of gone in that neighborhood. They had hundreds of profiles, and if they didn't have it, they could get it in two days. Steve visit my blog at http://cabgbypasssurgery.com |

They sent me to a specialty wood supplier, and they sent me to the final place that handled all manner of trim. So, your advice to go to the lumber yard is flawed. Next time you don't know the answer, or can't help, why don't you just go take your meds and leave it to people who know and who can help? Or learn to use those little arrows on your computer, yeah, those little ones on the right of your keyboard, to pass on to someone with a real crisis or earthchanging problem where you ARE qualified to comment. HTH, but I doubt it. Strike two on a three strike rule. Unless, of course, you fly out with just one hit. You do occasionally make rational lucid statements that are helpful and knowledgeable.

Look in your yellow pages for a window and door manufacturer. A
good local "real lumberyard" here has a window and door division. The next choice would be to look for a millwork company in your area. I assume you do not have a table saw and/or skills to manufacturer your own from stock. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DanG Keep the whole world singing . . . "desgnr" wrote in message ...

What happened today? Someone **** in your cornflakes? Steve Gawd, Steve. I wasn't responding to an isolated post. Go back and look at some history of "desgnr's" posts. By all appearances, he's completely hopeless with DIY. Nothing wrong with that, but why is he on a DIY group? And what the hell is with that computer specification signature, anyway? Sure, I get cranky from time to time. But it'd be hard to match you for emotional volatility. I know a little about mouldings. I've got a friend with an $80,000 machine that cranks out fifty feet per minute of any custom moulding you want. Around here, it *IS* the lumberyards that sell the stuff, and if it isn't on the floor it's in the catalog. It's guys like my friend who make the stuff in the catalog, or can match anything whatsoever. Around here there are several options. There are the custom molding suppliers, and a lot of custom furniture makers who will do any kind of millwork you could immagine - as well as the local craft and woodworking club that I joined for $100 a year where I can make anything I need, if I have the time and patience. |

In the states where I have residences, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona, this is entirely legal, and has gotten people shot with little or no paperwork. If you look CLOSELY this time, I stated it more than once during the sequence of posts you quoted that this was the scenario only if the person were to come on your property. And I would have no problem with someone at my door at 3 AM doing just what I said to do in the post. You can see a lot by observing. -Yogi Berra- Good work. You may leave now.

Hmmm. Well, that thread's OP never said the neighbor came over at 3 AM, and the neighbor never threatened - he asked the OP if he could be "a little more quiet". Normal responses would be "No, sorry.", "Can we talk about all of that junk in your yard for a minute?", or "I try to be as quiet as I can." Advising someone to pull a gun on someone in that situation is just silly. Like clowns in big shoes silly. You have to give Smitty points on calling you on your calling him reactionary, and extra credit for taking the time to back it up with the research. There's always tomorrow. R |

They will explain to the idiot that you DO AND DID have the right to shoot holes in his sorry ass. If he's on your property, you got him. Just be sure to tell the policeperson that he has made threats before and you were in fear of your life. In some states, you can just shoot him. All a little serious? No. You want to take care of the problem or dance around it? The police can't/won't do anything. The justice system can't/won't do anything about it. Handle it like a man. You're minding your own business on your own property at three AM and this wack job comes over. That's enough right there. I live in rural Utah, previously, Nevada. Concealed weapon laws and "castle laws" are pretty lenient here when it comes to defending your home and family from people roaming around YOUR property at 3 AM. Steve Well, I will give you half a credit, Grasshoppa. You did quote the text correctly and accurately. The important thing you missed is: IF THE PERSON COMES ON YOUR PROPERTY, YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO DO THIS. Unless, of course, you live in Kalifornia or similar. In the states where I have residences, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona, this is entirely legal, and has gotten people shot with little or no paperwork. If you look CLOSELY this time, I stated it more than once during the sequence of posts you quoted that this was the scenario only if the person were to come on your property. And I would have no problem with someone at my door at 3 AM doing just what I said to do in the post. You can see a lot by observing. -Yogi Berra- Good work. You may leave now. Sure, I could leave now. Or not. I could hang around a while and repost a bit more of the 90 post thread, in which, despite multiple admonitions from the likes of Doug Miller and Jim Yanik that what you were advising was criminal and would certainly result in the revocation of your concealed carry permit(s), you held firm to your position that threatening to kill a neighbor concerned about late night noise was just "being a man." It's hard to whitewash a turd, but I'll give you minus 1/2 point for trying. I'm glad you've found jesus though, and become a model of human tolerance. |

The thread is over. The points have been made. Don't make yourself look any worse by posting incoherent unrelated babble like you just did. Give it up, buddy, and go work on something around your house. Take a nap. Play with your dog. Play with your favorite partner. Take your grandkids to the newest kid flick and ice cream after. Just go do something else, and let this die. If you post again on this, I'll just have to pull the plug on you, and I don't want to do that because you know a lot about home repair. You remember home repair? The topic of this newsgroup? No? sigh ................. Steve visit my blog at http://cabgbypasssurgery.com |
