I will state again that it is my belief from the vague answers by the O.P. that the G.C. purchased the materials and therefore gets to dispense with them as he sees fit. The same rules apply if it were reversed. For example today an elderly woman contracted with me (last Friday) to build her...

I am a general contractor. I have read the entire post and no where have you clearly stated how everything was purchased only a vague comments like, "The GC is the Rep. for the manufacturer. The manufacturer requires the buyer to pay the GC.... it's not an option." and you also stated that...

One of these for $13.00 ought to do the trick:

I bought my house specifically because it had an old 30 x 40 steel building on the property. It was completely unfinished and I was able to construct a wood/machine shop from scratch and to my layout ideas. The best advise I can give you is plan, plan, plan! Though I didn't own a dust...

Might be a butcher's dressing pit or maybe something related to taxidermy? Did the previous owner hunt deer maybe?

Then a dehumidifier or window AC running 24/7 ought to do the trick but I'm not from Texas. I've only seen pictures of it on T.V. ;)

I am sure I could offer you a simple solution but you neglected to mention your location. A solution for a rural Texas shop would be far different that one in Maine. In my area, (S.E. Pennsylvania) installing a small dehumidifier (or window air conditioner) during the Summer months and a...

They are only allowed over the tub/shower if they are rated for wet locations and it will have a label clearly listing such under the fan grill or lamp housing. My bet is that it is not rated as such and therefore poses a safety hazard. At minimum put it on a GFCI circuit.

looks a lot like mine. I bought the rebuild kit mentioned above, changed the motor to single phase, and repainted it. Love the thing. It is a beast.

To my face and via email to my client. She is not a nice person and I believe somewhat racist as my client at the time was a foreigner.

I am a contractor that deals with these very issues on a regular basis. The advise people are giving you to avoid using a lawyer is dead wrong. Make no mistake, a zoning officers sole job is to say no to any development in his or her town and a good zoning office will twist and manipulate the...

O.P., Assuming I guessed your square foot measurement correctly, that price is at the high end of the average price according to my calculator: Average cost to Install Vinyl Siding - 1600 square feet $5,409.45 to $7,575.16

I find it quite ridiculous myself! I really don't understand how electricians make any money in this part of the state. Nobody seems to want any work. They all must be independently wealthy and able to pick and choose their jobs! Actually it is a situation when many GC's have screwed subs...

The problem is I really want this job done. The softball season is already going strong. We really wanted it done this past December so the homeowner's daughter could practice over the winter. The university batting cage is outdoor and unusable in cold weather. Also there is no state...

Because it was being inspected by the city nobody wanted the work. I would call one either they would scoff at the small job or they would come and look and then never contact me with a price. So I just kept at it until I found somebody that gave me a price... Aside from commercial work, all...

I agree but it is a long building (50') and so when you consider bends your looking at maybe 60' of wire. I am a big fan of overkill...

I am a general contractor by trade and have been working with a client on and off for several years now. The homeowner lives out of State and bought a house for his two children to live in while they both attend Lehigh University. One of his daughters has earned a full ride scholarship for...

I guarantee the guy from the tool department brought that reel home for a penny at the end of his shift!

go to Armstrong ceiling tiles online, find your style or close then possibly order direct or take the part number to Homer and order from them.

The best I have found for filling gaps in OSB is OSI brand drywall adhesive. It is color matched and believe it or not it really works. I used it in an unheated shed I finished for a guy about 3 years ago, no cracking yet.
