I'm going to be replacing all the paneling (and whatever scary stuff found under it ) and will be building new cabinets .
I'm asking alot with this but I'm looking for ideas for them to be light, strong, and not look like cheap POS .
I'm leaning toward making some kind of frame , covering it with paneling and dress the edges up with corner molding.
If you know of anywhere on the net you can point me to or have ideas fire away ..

Drops pressure to a point were the water heater won't stay lit (burner will fire as normal then slowly dies). Crazy thing, it will work fine for a month or so, then act up again. Banging on it and blowing it out seems to help. Any other ideas before I purchase a new one?

I am using usg drywall compound and was wondering how much water should be added in order to spray it through a hopper gun. Also does the ceiling need to be a different texture than the walls?

Found some free plans and have no problem building structure, but I have a question about the floor support. I have my FJ separated into the frame and body. I would like to be able to have both pieces inside the shed. I cannot afford nor do I want a concrete slab, so I am looking for info on support lumbar and spacing for floor. The area in my yard where it is going to be built is not perfectly level so the idea is to use several of those concrete decking blocks and 4x4 posts cut to level it. Without overdoing it, would 2x6's with 16"oc spacing and 3/4" subfloor work? I am planing on something like 10x14 or there abouts. Since I am building it that may change. I eventually want the floor to support the built FJ. Is this reasonable? Any other ideas on support are welcome too, thanks.

I have a small single-side one now, it's not big enough, not even a hammer loop on it. I looked at the offerings at Lowes yesterday, wasn't impressed. I can't remember the brand, but they all seemed like "made in mexico" crap to me. None of the bigger rigs fit me either (I have a 29 inch waist), I guess most framers are of the heavy-set crowd.

I'm not making a living with this, but the flip side is I hate buying junk. Most of my tools are good stuff, so I wanna do the same here, I am a strong believer in paying for quality and get the pain over once. Any suggestions on brands, models, or features? I looked at Occidental (pricey, seem to only be available on-line), also wondering about BucketBoss, Makita, Milwaukee, etc. ]]> Workshop and Home Improvement KLF http://forum.ih8mud.com/workshop-home-improvement/331542-tool-belt-recommendation.html
