Rustoleum Countertops and Cabinet Refinishing Contest

Have you seen these new countertop and cabinet refinishing products from rustoleum? I would whistle but I don’t know how to write it so you could read it. They do look nice in the adverbs. I am wondering how they hold up. I have to say rustoleum products have been very good, to me in the past. They have done as much or better than I expected at times.
Their reputation is very good and I don’t think they would risk it for the small bit of money they make in extra countertop and cabinet paint.

I have yet to see anybodies countertop refinishing products hold up perfectly. I am in favor of something like this that is regularly available so that touch ups are possible for us maintainers.

They have specialized paints for countertops and for cabinets. I have been searching sometime for these types of products. I must say I will step back and wait and listen for how this holds up but it looks so good. I would really like to try it.
Well they are running a contest for what you can do with their products to upgrade a kitchen. I have put the link below so that you can check it out. The grand prize is a five thousand dollar gift card.



 

 

If you try it, Please let me know how it works and holds up for you. Make some noise. Holler at me now, and, or, five, ten, tweny , one hundred, or more years from now. Yell at me about the first scratch, blemish, or burn mark. I just want to hear about it in the comment reply section below.

Contest terms can be found here.

Looks like you will have to hurry as the contest ends at 11:59 pm ET on 9/30/2011
That leaves you just under two months from the time of this posting to get it done. Happy painting! I So Hope You Win! But more than that, I hope you like your new kitchen! (or bathroom if you don’t care about the contest!) Give me a shout if you do! Give me a grumble if you don’t!

Glad you are out there,

Just like me,

Kung Fu Maintenance

P.S. I would still like to hear from you about this product long after the contest ends so make some noise even if this post should find you in the far future.

Don’t forget to Hollerrrrrrrrrrrrrr! And Google + me 2! Thank You!

Fast Five Impressions to Improve Your Home

Switch to a liquid soap.

Switching to a liquid soap will make cleaning your tub and shower phenomenally easier. This is especially true if you have a fiberglass tub or shower enclosure.

Cook good smelling food.

This works great for grocery stores.  I have seen them fry up pieces of bacon than use a fan to spread the good smells and watch people shop till they drop. A cinnamon coffee cake works great to have the whole house smelling delicious. You may have heard the saying good smelling food makes the best incense.

Switch out discolored switch plate screws and set all screws vertical.

Though subtle this change makes a huge difference in subconscious impressions and mood settings.

Touch up paint.

Home improvement stores can match paint pretty good these days if you bring them a small paint chip. If you paint whole walls make sure to save some paint for inevitably needed touch ups. Always take measures to protect valuables with drop cloths or other means.

Adjust cabinets for best look.

Chapter 19 Art from the Book Kung Fu Maintenance

Most cabinets have mounting screws, a set screw, and a pivot screw. The mounting screws if loosened allow you to move the door up or down a little bit and then secure the screws in place. The set screws allow positioning of the door closer or further from the cabinet. The pivot screws allow pivoting of the door for proper alignment.
