Salvageable hardwood below tile? Does this look like it could be hardwood floors between the tile and subfloors? I suspect they would be too damaged to save if I removed the tile but what do you all think?

Electroplating vintage stove, where to start? Hello everyone, The main question I have is in the last paragraph, I encourage you to skip to the end if you are easily bored. My ending up here is undoubtedly the result of some complex algorithmic assessment and extrapolation from my search history, or Reddit is listening to my conversations. I have never searched anything about electroplating, and yet this sub was recommended to me. I came across a somewhat rare vintage stove - Chambers Model 61AC. This one is from the 1950s and what’s unique is it has a copper finish on the whole thing. I have attached a photo of what they look like when someone actually uses them to cook - photo is of a high back model 90C in good but used condition. To be clear this is not the stove I am buying. The stove is in terrible condition, it’s been left outside for probably decades. So this is a restoration project. The copper finish is almost all gone and I would like to put it back as it once was. I’m very handy with an amateur mechanical and handyman background, and I would like to learn this art. What’s weird is the fact that Reddit recommended this sub to me. I’ve googled a lot about the stove and have done extensive research on it but I hadn’t searched anything about electroplating whatsoever. I was aware of what the practice was, and when trying to justify the $200 purchase of this junk stove to my girlfriend I verbally explained what electroplating is and that I would need to learn how to do it to complete the restoration. This sub just seems kind of obscure so it would be one hell of a coincidence for Reddit to just pick this of all things to recommend to me right as I’m going to buy something that needs some electroplating done on it. Anyways, probably didn’t need to explain all that but it was very weird timing at the very least. Hopefully somebody found that interesting. Moving on, where is the best place to start learning this process? The end goal is laying the thickest and brightest layer of copper possible over the steel exterior panels of this vintage stove. These are large surface areas and the unit is UNBELIEVABLY heavy at 400lbs assembled. So maybe you guys will just tell me it’s not possible for an amateur to do. But I am very motivated and would be willing to buy an engine hoist to facilitate the ex*****on of the job if need be. Thank you for your time!

Assembling Vintage Stove Hi! I bought this beautiful stove and when i picked it up the guy had taken all the guts out "to make it easier for me to move." I know it works. But the problem is I have zero idea how to put it back together. Im talking specifically about the burners. I have a box of parts and im stumped. Can anybody help? Or give me a diagram or video? Hell, even pictures of your stove burners exposed would be great. Thank you!

Hi all, It is time to start updates on this time capsule from the 70s We are going to keep the cabinets the way they are, not a fan of how grainy they appear but it will have to do. My partner does not want to paint them. The centered hardware also is bothersome to me but after some research I think it would be better off to leave it centered and update the hardware. We would like to brighten the space up and get rid of the yellow tones. Also removing those light covers on the ceiling. Thinking about an off white or white tiled backsplash and painting the laminate countertops... because well.. $$$. I think it would look much better even with the possibility of chipped painted non yellow countertops than what it is now. Maybe a slightly marbled "greige" and epoxied white to lessen the business of the cabinets grain and also just not a huge fan of grey marble with the brown cabinets. As for the flooring, I'm at a loss and do not know what would look okay. Thought about some vinyl flooring but not sure what color or if I should go with the wood look or not with the cabinets. What are your thoughts? Any ideas, pointers, tips would be greatly appreciated. Also my first time posting on Reddit so unsure if this is right to ask!

Herringbone Wood Look Tile: Best Grout Line Size? We found these beautiful wood look tiles at Home Depot, and now we are wondering how much space we should leave for the grout lines. We want it to look realistic, so fairly close together, and we were thinking about 1.5 mm. Is that enough? It's 6"x24" tiles, they do not have rectified edges, and we are going to install them in a herringbone pattern. Thank you!

Help transition hardwood We are putting down hardwood and I am struggling with how to transition into the hallway. Attached are a few pictures. The direction perpendicular to the joists would put the flooring running side to side in the hallway which I think looks terrible, however, because the entrance to the hall and the entrance to the opposite bedroom are not in line I’m not sure how to transition to running the hardwood the length of the hallway I don’t want to run the hardwood the same direction as the hall through the whole house because that would be in line with the joists and I also think would not look good in the great room. Any suggestions are appreciated I do have a tongue and groove router bit set so I can machine any cuts for a tight fit
