Pay to have it done. If your back is that bad, it’s not worth the risk.

In the name of all that is holy, do one big door. I have singles and it is one of the banes of my existence...

Mesh tape. Blue lid. Thin your last coat. The enemy of of good is better.

I love basements when done properly. Remember, it’s not the basements fault you didn’t check/inspect your pump. If your house is graded properly and your drain tile was done correctly, you shouldn’t have issues. Most of the water issues I see and deal with are lack of maintenance or...

If you are even remotely handy, you can pull it off. Plumb, level and square are very important. Rent the equipment for the heavy lifting. This is no place to rush your safety. There’s no time to enjoy it if your handicapped or dead.

$50/sqft just isn’t reasonable unless you everything yourself. 1/2osb in my market is nuts. August 5th I got a new roof. We replaced 19 sheets at $13.95/sheet. Currently it’s $24.99 at the same store.

If you are ok with cats peeing in your house, you’ll always have a problem. Get rid of the offending cat(s). The smell goes away for you because you’re used to it. Anybody new will smell it right away. Second, does the basement floor ever sweat? In the spring during humid times, etc? If...

Love the VCT. Not sure about the porcelain. I don’t think I’d like all the seams. Regardless, it’s not my shop and looks like you did a good install! If it makes you happy, that’s all that matters.

I’ve built 3 with a 4th planned for this summer. None were mine. I did one for a good friend, my boss and my next door neighbor. 32x24. 24x28. 24x20. I poured the first and the thirds concrete. My favorite was the 24x28. Bought lumber when it it was on sale, trusses from a local lumber...

Leaving the ballast in requires it to be working. You aren’t going to burn your house down. You did it correctly.

I’m a firm believer in what goes around comes around. I entertain nearly every opportunity to help just about anyone. If I can or want to, I do it. If I can’t or don’t want to, I don’t. Regardless, I’m kind about it and make sure everyone feels good with the situation. I’m not always home...

I second NP1. Should be perfect for your application

Welcome! I’m in Lincoln and often work in SE Nebraska. Where are you from?

This is the best way to ruin bits. That’s why the make reamers. No matter how careful you are or how good you think you are, you are never properly centered when using the larger bit to enlarge a smaller hole by hand. If you’re drill a brand new hole, but quality bits and there is no need to...

Tapcons and the like have a max imbed depth of 1.5”. Any more than that and you run into the issue you’re having.

Epoxy floors are cool and look nice for a while. Solid color with no flake is the way I would go. The fleck hides things you drop. Nuts, screws, etc.

Got one! Thanks!

My jack says it will be here tomorrow. My account has been charged the appropriate amount.

Riv? What gives? You ok? We NEED updates!
