I would have had it integrated in if I would of built the house, but time didn’t allow me to build. I’m planning on changing a lot of my outlets to Legrand outlets.

It’s newly built. I didn’t know if there were better systems out there. Thank you.

I am looking at installing the Legrand Intuity system in my new house. I am wondering how hard it is to install in an existing structure and if it is really worth getting. Thank you.

Thansk for the help. Ya, I dont know if this was a rehab house some did themselves or what, but most the seams and corner joints are bubbling. Figured Id start in the garage to get the rhythm back of mudding.

I'm looking to build my first house and I was wondering if there was a place to talk to contractors to get a price to frame out a plan I found. http://houseplansandmore.com/homeplans/houseplan032D-0599.aspx That's the plan I...

Hello, I am trying to replace the window in my garage. I bought a replacement window, but can't remove the old one. I removed 2 screws on the side that held it to the nail strip. I can't get it to budge. Thanks

Thanks, it has a threshold. Just wasn't sure if 1/2 was to much to shim.

Hello, I bought a prehung door and the frame is a half inch shorter than the old door. Can I shim the top of the door or add a half inch thick board and then put the frame in? Thanks
