    Masonry fence/wall questions

    The hot tub is actually a gunite hot tub being done as part of a pool build. The pool and spa are almost done. They’re getting ready to pour some decking around the pool and will have a pumper to bring the concrete to the backyard. I wish i could have the wall footer done at that time, but I...

    Masonry fence/wall questions

    How much rebar should I ask for? He didn't give specifics and I didn't ask. I was assuming he knew what to do. He just said horizontal in the footing and vertical coming up into the block which sounded reasonable to me. Putting in the rebar is probably the easiest part of the job

    I'll talk to him and make sure he's up to it. I don't want to insult him, but I don't want to have him get in over his head. Honestly, if 90 dollars makes his life easier then I'll pay it. I less tired worker is probably a better worker.

    I just checked and I can rent a mudmixer for 90 a day. I'd gladly rent it for him if it helps

    Masonry fence/wall questions

    I think he uses a barrel mixer, but that's because he had one in his truck and in the pictures he showed me of his work. I want to trust him, but I've had good and not so good experiences with getting projects done

    Masonry fence/wall questions

    The 18 inch depth was a frost line number and what he was planning. The fence is to be 6 foot tall, so tall, but not unusually so. I may be worrying too much, but I want it to be really solid. We get some really strong winds with storm in Oklahoma. I told him that I basically want it to be...

    Masonry fence/wall questions

    I’m planning to have a masonry wall built off of my enclosed patio to surround my hot tub (in central Oklahoma). The plan is to have the Wall in an L shape, going 3 feet off the patio and then going 20 feet until it meets a 3 feet retaining wall. The plan that I have developed with the mason is...

    Garage ladder recommendations

    Thats like a diy version of these majic stairs. These seem like a great option, but I don't think that I’ll use my garage storage enough to justify the expense.

    Garage ladder recommendations

    I need to add a ladder to my garage to access the attic for storage. My ceiling is 128 inches tall, and the opening is 36 inches wide. I’m eyeing an aluminum Louisville ladder pull down. Are all the major brands about the same?

    Setting up new garage. Best things you've done

    I’d like do a floor coating, but I’m worried about being done correctly. I’d rather have clean concrete than chipped coating. I don’t know who is good in OKC.

    Setting up new garage. Best things you've done

    I'd like to do a floor coating, but every time I read about it, I start to worry about lifting etc. I love the look of bright white floors

    Setting up new garage. Best things you've done

    Thanks for the replies so far. I'm in Oklahoma so winters aren't too bad, but it's hot in the summer. The garage is insulated, so adding a mini split may be nice idea. It has pretty good Led shop lights, and there are wall plugs about every 6 to 8 feet. The walls are bright white which...
