    Home Depot installed carpet in 6 rooms total but some carpet has came unraveled

    Glad this resolved. But who says, "I can get rid of the animals"? We have to part ways here. When I adopt a pet, that pet is a part of the family for life.

    What are my options?

    Do it right or don't do it at all. Short cuts never work out.

    Very slippery floor

    Make sure a housekeeper is not using a floor cleaner like Pledge on it. My wife will occasionally use one of those Pledge wipes on a spot on our floors and I can immediately tell the difference. It is like it has oil on that spot.

    Home Depot installed carpet in 6 rooms total but some carpet has came unraveled

    Uh, you bought the carpet and installation from HD, not the individual contractor or the carpet manufacturer. HD is on the hook and guarantees their (contractor's) work and materials. You need to move this up the HD chain to a real boss/manager. Do not let them get away with this. Be nice...

    Recommended car dollies on Racedeck?

    RazorSVT - Sorry, I have a concrete floor. But the wheels are so nice I bet it would roll fine on Racedeck. I was commenting more on a nice set of dollies.

    Recommended car dollies on Racedeck?

    I have a set of aluminum Car Dolly cradles and I upgraded to the larger ball bearing wheels and my car rolls around with no effort. Car-Dolly.com, 888.721.9595. Aside from the excellent quality, they are of course, made in the USA. I think they were around $140 delivered. Here is one of them...

    Well it has begun

    Before you commit to epoxy, at least read up the porcelain tile threads and get some pricing for materials and labor. I would not even consider an epoxy floor coating as I have never, ever, seen one that has not lifted, discolored, bubbled, etc., after a couple years of use with daily drivers...

    Going to have a new concrete floor poured. Ideas?

    I would not run any lines in the floor itself. Ceiling and walls for any of that. 4" thickness minimum with rebar 18" apart raised 2" above gravel (small styrofoam blocks you wire to the rebar to keep it from sinking to the gravel once the cement is covering it) over a nicely compacted gravel...

    Heavily cracked Driveway Repair?

    I hate to say it, but I agree with bczygan re spending money on the wedding. I would go small on the wedding -essentially just a big party - and put the money to good use on something that appreciates - a home. I hope you will be the exception, but it seems more often marriages fail -...

    Help! New Floor Nightmare

    I would have stopped that check immediately. Did you check to see if this clown was licensed and bonded?

    Spraying curing concrete with water?

    Just use a bunch of old scrap carpet, rugs, moving pads and cover the concrete and soak the rugs, etc. Keeps the moisture in and slows the drying process.

    Replacing driveway, but suspicious of contractor

    Get everything in writing and do not pay then until the job is 100% complete to her satisfaction. I would check every step of the process to make sure they are not pouring her a 2" thick driveway, etc. Go see a couple of driveways they have recently done and speak to the homeowner.

    One guy orders 497 tiles. Another 525. Who is right?

    Whenever I have tile done I like to keep about 10 extra tiles in the event something happens a few years later and you need a repair. In a garage, where a lift, floor jacks and a roll-away are being used I would stash a box of tiles in the attic just in case. It would be just my luck to break...
