Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家装修秘诀

Today we wanted to provide you with an example of how finishing the project includes the task of finishing .今天，我们想向你提供一个例子，如何完成该项目包括的任务完成 。 And, my favorite finishing material be far is caulking.和，我最喜爱的整理材料远远是嵌缝。

Caulking covers up so many mistakes.嵌缝掩盖了这么多的错误。 And, yes, I make a lot of mistakes.和，是的，我作出了很多错误。

Let’s take the new cabinets installed in our laundry room.让我们采取新的机柜安装在我们的洗衣房。 We had replaced the decaying laundry tub with a small sink and cabinet combination plus a narrow cabinet on the wall immediately above.我们已更换腐烂的洗衣房，浴缸中的一小水槽和内阁的组合再加上一个狭窄的内阁上墙，立即以上。

However, look more closely.然而，更仔细。 In the pictures below you can see, possibly, that the installation has not had sufficient finishing applied.在下面的图片，你可以看到，可能是因为安装程序已没有足够的整理应用。 Look at where the cabinets meet the wall.看看那里机柜满足墙。 Notice the unfinished gaps, especially in the second of the two close-up pictures below?通知未完成的差距，特别是在第二次两国密切跟进下面的图片？

I have used caulking in other houses but never could get it to look as smooth when applied as when the professionals use it.我用嵌缝在其他房子，但从来没有能够得到照顾，作为顺利时，适用时，专业人士使用它。

One technique is to apply less caulking initially than you think you will need.一技术是运用较少嵌缝最初比你认为你会需要。 Another secret is to have a paper towel and a damp cloth handy as it’s about to get messy.另一个秘诀是有一个擦手纸和湿布得心应手，因为它的即将混乱。 And, the best secret of them all came from a very nice sales associate at one of the building supply stores we frequent is to simply use your finger.和，最好的秘密，他们都来自一个非常不错的销售副之一，建设供应商店，我们经常是简单地使用您的手指。 Yes, that’s right, the handy tool that we always have handy.没错，就是那个的权利，得心应手的工具，我们总是有得心应手。

Once you apply the small amount of caulking to the area (in our case where the cabinet and the wall meet), simply press your finger against the caulking and run it all the way down the edge of the cabinet with constant pressure on the caulking.一旦你运用少量的嵌缝该地区（在我们的情况下，内阁和墙满足） ，只要按下您的手指对嵌缝并运行它所有的方式向下的边缘，内阁与不断的压力，该嵌缝。 Three things will likely occur:三件事情可能会发生：

1. your finger will get messy with caulking - that is where the paper towel comes in, ie to clean your finger你的手指会导致混乱与嵌缝-这是那里来的擦手纸在，即清洁你的手指
2. excess caulking will likely go against both the wall and the cabinet - that is where the damp cloth comes in, ie to clean the excess caulking from the wall and cabinet (but hurry, otherwise the caulking will dry and you may need to repaint that part of the wall so it does not look messy)嵌缝过剩可能会违背了双方在隔离墙和内阁-这是那里湿布来在，即清洁过剩嵌缝从墙和内阁成员（但匆忙，否则嵌缝将缺水和您可能需要r epaint的那部分该墙的，所以并不看一塌糊涂）
3. you will have a smooth finish of the caulking which will finish the job你将有光洁度的嵌缝将完成这项工作

Here are ‘after’ pictures, first the cabinet in its entirety.这里是'后'的图片，首先内阁在其全部内容。 Compare it to the same picture at the beginning of this article.比较它相同的图片在本月初的文章。

Next are the close-up after pictures.其次是密切跟进后的照片。 Compare these to the same ‘before’ pictures above.比较这些相同的'前'图片以上。

The think about finishing is that if a job is truly finished, no one notices.该想一想， 整理的是，如果工作是真正完成，没有人通知。 If the job is not finished, everyone will notice and all the time and effort and money you spent on your renovation / remodeling will be for not.如果作业是尚未完成，大家都会通知所有的时间和精力和金钱，您花了您的装修/重塑将不。 You may have increased functional usage of your home, but it won’t look, well, finished .您可能会有所增加功能的使用你的家，但它不会看，好， 完了 。
