    Do you wear your wedding band?

    Always. In 8 years of marriage, it has never been taken off. I slide it down a little wash and dry under it, but it has never been past the tip of my ring finger.

    !!rookie mistake!! overhead patio

    I whole heartedly agree. I put on an addition and went through hell with inspectors over a beam in the garage. Drove me crazy and held up my addition for 3 weeks. I'm glad you have the knowledge to tell if your house was built correctly or not. I don't, that is not my area of expertise so I...

    Scare tactics? I'm not trying to scare anyone. Just pointing out a fact and anybody with half a brain should understand this. Building permits are there for many reasons. One is to keep the builders and contractors honest. If there were no inspectors who knows what the people building your...

    Husky Pro 6.5HP 60 Gal Any good?
