    Working With What I Have - 20' x 20' Bug House!

    Vaulting of the ceiling has been postponed. We are in talks with a company to do major renovations inside of the home so I've decided to just wait. We are also in talks of selling our rental property, so who knows, it may be sooner than later. Houses are selling like crazy around us so we are...

    Sink plumbing question

    Re: Sinknolumbing question *I'm not a plumber* I have never seen a hard piped dishwasher drain. I have ever only seen the smaller, flexible hoses, about an inch and a half or so. Those hoses are run as high as possible within the cabinet and looped down onto the drain to create an air gap...

    Are nail plates normally used on 2x6 walls?

    If I was in your situation I would get a small phone telescoping camera, drill a hole on the wall and inspect with the camera. Wood should not make any weird noises from a screw other than when going in or out and it sometimes squeals. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071HYRPND/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Garage Addition - Am I going to get laughed at?

    How much space do you have around the AC unit? Can both the mower and blower be parked next/around it? If so, I would consider doing two different things - Enclose the AC unit within the new shed built on that area. You would use the two existing house walls and work off those. For the rest...

    ICON Ratcheting Wrenches - Coming Apart ???

    I have the Husky ones and they have been fine. I don't use them often and hardly ever use them to "break" the bolt/nut but rather for after I have done so and need/want the speed.

    ICON Ratcheting Wrenches - Coming Apart ???

    They could had easily been but the boxes looked perfect. I think it would be difficult for three different buyers to have all brought back the boxes looking almost brand new after having been opened and the ratchets used. But yeah, definitely could be a return.

    ICON Ratcheting Wrenches - Coming Apart ???

    Stopped at HF this morning to grab a few small things and while browsing the clearance table I stumbled upon these ICON ratcheting wrenches that had either completely separated or the mechanism wasn't installed from the factory and not caught by the inspector (If any). There were 3 box sets all...

    Would you hire a contractor only with a handshake?

    The general contractor and architect that came to my home back in February both wanted to remove my ceiling joists and replace them with collar ties, in order to vault the ceiling in my first floor. That's it. That's all they wanted to do. Needles to say I'm hiring a structural engineer to...
