Fully agree, first major wow factor is lighting. Then some fresh paint on the walls and some epoxy on the floor, and it'll look like a whole new place.

I can see a huge vision. But man, does that look depressing (for the amount of work you're going to be putting in)

I think it depends. If it's a hot nasty day and the crew is busting their butts and is professional in their work (e.g., they introduced themselves, they are careful with your property, they listen and respect your questions and desires), then yes I provide some drinks and even a box fan to...

I've seen cedar for fences, playsets, and decorative pergolas, but never for a deck structure. But, I'm not a deck expert and don't do it for a living. But I did build my own deck from 6x6 PT and I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.

What is the ball cage made out of? The balls and the inner/outer rings should normally be ok, but the ball cage isn't always made out of a rigid metal, if metal at all.

3D printing as a technology has really come a long way, with automotive companies even now making structural pieces that are 3D printed. But those are normally metal printers, which are REALLY expensive. I mean, they're even 3D printing homes now with concrete :) As a hobby, I have a Prusa...

No camera needed, I've watched them go through the inside of the house, looking at the baseboards and lower part of the drywall. On a good note, they did take their time, walking very slowly through the entire house, it wasn't just a brief fly-by. Sure, but since I've been paying the...

Is this a store problem, or a store brand problem? If it's just a store problem, can't you order the bulbs you need from that store's website? (in other words, just order from HomeDepot.com if you don't like going to the physical store, and online there is much more selection)

Our current plan (always subject to change :D ) is to stay here another 15-20 years. I don't mind paying the $1,000 for "the good stuff" chemicals that I don't know much about nor how to apply properly, but I question whether I'm getting hosed on the +$150/year, and/or potentially the $250/year...

When I've been previously paying the ~$150 per year, a guy came to the house and would walk around looking at the baseboards to see if he could see any trace of tubes showing in the baseboards or drywall (meaning, the termites were already inside). I thought the $150 was to keep up the $1M...

Hello GJ friends, It's time to re-treat the house surroundings with termite chemicals. I live in GA, my home is ~10 years old, and we currently have zero termite issues. In looking at the quotes, it's: ~$1,000 to treat (and the treatment lasts 10 years) and + another ~$150 per year for...

4 post does not need to be bolted down I believe the adjustments I have on my ramps and ladder locks max out at around 1.5-2", so no your floor cannot be "several" inches out of level, it can have about a 2" max deviation from one end to another I personally like to level the ramps first...

You're right. Forget the backhoe and go full size pick axe to dig it out by hand!!! Hopefully you guys noticed I was being facetious in my last post. While I'm all for making sure I pick up my personal trash at our nation's parks and wildlife areas, I would definitely not spend the time nor...

If you want to be a good steward of mother earth, you should leave no trace behind. So that means yes, do not leave that old wire in the ground - do everything you can to get it out. That means if you have to rent a backhoe to dig out a trench to take it every inch out, do so. Then use the...

Rent a Mudmixer for that small job. I believe I made a post about it on here.
