This Old House General Contractor Tom Silva walks through the steps to get these projects done. Project #1: How to Add a Toe kick Time: 3 to 4 hours Cost: $60 and up Skill Level: Moderate Tools: Pull saw [https://amzn.to/3eyHwmA] Coping saw [https://amzn.to/3nsnEpi] Block plane [https://amzn.to/3dX505M] Sliding compound miter saw [https://amzn.to/32UM7Ko] Drill [https://amzn.to/3nw3v1A] Brad nailer [https://amzn.to/3nyLeAS] Putty knife [https://amzn.to/3t662Ax] Shopping List: PVC trim boards [https://bit.ly/3b4Z9cX] PVC glue [https://bit.ly/3ezGPcG] White spray paint [https://amzn.to/3u2muDo] Screws [https://amzn.to/3vvvukz] Finish nails [https://amzn.to/3e1Rjmg] Spackle [https://amzn.to/3xxwfM0] To finish the toe kick, Tom Silva opts for PVC boards as they are waterproof, easy to clean, and easier to cut than tile to match uneven floors. He goes through the process of cutting and installing the PVC for all of the cabinets. Project #2: Door Repair Time: 1 hour Cost: $0 if you have the tools Skill Level: Beginner Tools: Circular saw [https://amzn.to/3e0qBKF] Block plane [https://amzn.to/3dX505M] Sawhorses [https://amzn.to/32UWca3] The homeowner re-tiled her floors and since then, the basement door gets stuck on the tile and doesn’t open fully. Tom Silva tackles the door by taking it off the hinges and demonstrating how to cut the bottom off to adjust to the new floor height from the tile. Where to find it? To add trim to the toe kick underneath the kitchen cabinets, Tom used 1x4” PVC trim boards [https://bit.ly/3b4Z9cX], which are manufactured by AZEK Building Products [https://ift.tt/32q4rbx]. To secure the miters together, Tom also used a PVC glue that is manufactured by AZEK [https://bit.ly/3ezGPcG]. To cut the boards to size and make the miter cuts, Tom used a Kapex KS120 sliding compound miter saw [https://bit.ly/3gIWKIt], which is all manufactured by Festool [www.festoolusa.com]. To trim the door down to size, Tom used a TS 55 circular saw [https://bit.ly/3u3Ppqz], which is also manufactured by Festool [www.festoolusa.com]. The other tools and materials Tom used for this project, including the spackle, finish nails and screws, can all be found at home centers.
