Basically, something similar to this: https://www.keepingitsimplecrafts.com/diy-barn-door-with-burned-wood-finis/
We did a pine finish instead. But looks very pricey and cost next to nothing.
EDIT: Also, if you have the time/desire, you can further save money doing it yourself. |

Date: June 22nd, 2018 4:34 PM Author: crawly black woman brethren Fine woodworker here. Stained pine is the shittiest of the shitwoods. Buy quality hardwood from a local exotic lumberyard - mahogany, maple, walnut, cherry - and finish with polyurethane. Home Depot and Lowes have shit prices on quality wood.
To unsophisticated buyers, the oak and maple sold at HD and Lowes appears, at first glance, to be priced far lower than the local exotic lumber supplier, but their prices are always far higher. This is because they sell hardwood lumber by the linear foot, rather instead of how lumberyards price their goods, which is by the square foot (board foot). Last time I compared, HD was about twice the price of my local hardwood supplier. |

Date: June 22nd, 2018 2:36 PM Author: red razzle resort i do always lol when anyone in MFH will ague that property taxes are the reason not to go to the suburbs
uhh, yeah, just add up your city tax and private school tuition and see what is more expensive |
|
Date: June 22nd, 2018 2:38 PM Author: Godawful At-the-ready Juggernaut Exactly right. Either of these on their own is bigger. Plus, property taxes in MFH aren't zero, and coops/condos add their own significant fees on top of that. You lose, lose and lose again.
Also, don't forget that you pay $300-500/month for a garage spot so you can have a car. |
|
Date: June 22nd, 2018 3:18 PM Author: red razzle resort yes.
now, there may be reasons why one wants to live in MFH, but i wouldn't cite the suburban property taxes as evidence you will be spending more by going to the suburbs |

Date: June 22nd, 2018 11:29 PM Author: Godawful At-the-ready Juggernaut Agreed. In general, if you want to argue preferences then that's fine. But I'm sick of people pretending that in general suburbs cost a bunch more just because you have more space and multiple cars or whatever. IRL, the costs of the city quickly eclipse suburban living unless you are one of a few people (the guy with the rent stabilized $1k/month apartment in an 80/20 modern luxury building).

If you want a big ass piece of real hardwood, cut to spec and installed, that's what things costs now a days. OP can go buy some synthetic or sawdust pressed GC crap if he wants to save money. But, real wood + local/American labor costs money, period. |
