I had to pick a certified Septic Installer off...

    Disposing of construction trash

    While building my house, I went through 2-30 yard dumpsters for scrap waste, at the end I debated on another but looked at the cost.

I would say your biggest issue would be to stay ahead of...

    Help with a leaking bathtub faucet

    Looks like it could be a Central Brass faucet, you can get parts to rebuild it without changing the whole valve. It will be easier but $$ pricey

    I have a switch in my kitchen that operates nothing

    Does this wire go "Up" out of the box? is there attic space above? if so, you could go up in the attic and possibly chase the wire out, unless if it goes up, out of the box and stays in the wall? Knock a small hole in the wall above the cabinet where it will not be seen, use a camera and see if...

    Help with installing a vent hood range

    I installed mine when we built our house, about 1 1/2 years ago, I ended up mounting mine 31" above our 6 burner gas range, it had to be at this height because I have 9' ceilings and the stainless trim around the vent pipe wouldn't reach the ceiling if I had the base any lower. This thing has...

    Help with installing a vent hood range

    We have the exact same range hood in our kitchen, if the wire had been stubbed out of the tile more in the middle of the opening, you could have fished it down to where the base will mount to the wall.

    What is your “I wish I would have during your build...?

    I wished I would have been able to build bigger, but I ran into city ordinances that I couldn't have an out building bigger than the house on the lot (Even though I was going to tear it down) I could always add on I guess. I have a ********* Walnut Tree that would have to come down. I think I...
