Hello, We are located in PA and are looking into buying an existing home and and doing extensive remodeling (like all the way down to the studs). I know that ...
I need help getting rid of a mole. It is destroying my landscaping. I purchased a mole trap at home depot and it doesn't seem to be working very well. My...
Go to your local farm and ranch supply store and ask what for what works best in your area. The people at Home Depot haven't a clue. Some times it will take a...
I would like to :) thanks..... I wouldn't really be the right person to ask :) We have the demolishers coming next week and that's all I can think of...
Don't poison the dog in the process. My father had a wicked trap that had long spikes that released when a mole ran down its tunnel. It worked but probably...
I am getting ready to start living space in the attic. I have the attic floor insulated, and will leave it in place when I put the attic floor down. (I built...
Try juicy fruit gum broken into little pieces stuffed into their runs. Use gloves or other tool to handle gum, as human odor will spoil results. ... From:...
I would need more information on the roof. The pitch isn't as important as the depth of the rafters. Did you plan ahead and use rafters with enough depth to...
Phase II Started on post 1086 Last Thursday we started building the porch addition onto the concrete piers (post 1086). We built the platform. We assembled...
Nature Well, this group is the only one that was sure would get as excited about this as me, so I wanted to post about it! When we began this adventure in...
I used 2x6 rafters and left enough space for furring strips if needed. I had thought about starafoam insulation, or something similiar. I did not use radiant...
Excellent work Susan, I had a similar experience with HD on a solid cherry linen closet. It was ding in some spots but it was built very well. They were asking...
Al, A 2X6 is going to be a tuff sell to get enough insulation. The roof is second on the list, windows being first, as the place where you gain/lose the most...
Plastic foam board (or rigid foam) is the most expensive form of insulation and is made from polyurethane, polyisocyanurate, or polystyrene. It is commonly...
Susan To me this is the way to build a quality house with little money. Especially if a person has a place to store "stuff" for a year or so I bet the cost...
Gene~~ I am ordering our doors and windows today, Just an FYI I got 3 bids. Ganahl Lumber, Home Depot and a specialty doors, windows and lumber store. The...
I also found that Home Depot can be more expensive. We have another home building supply chain, Menards, that is regional but it is somewhat less expensive...
and I thought Home Depot was the place to go for a bargain :) Home Deopt was always the highest prices for lesser grade products when the did the bid for our...
Hi all - (breaking my lurker's silence for a first posting) I have an even better story than that which proves how flexibility and scrounging for windows can...
OK. I'll probably find this out the hard way, but.... A week or so ago I posted wanting to know what was the magic in moving a sewer clean-out and why a...
Hi Everybody, Sorry for crossposting, but I wanted to share this for widest distribution. I am a lurker on these lists (greedily trying to learn all I can from...
With all the wonderful stories about buying materials at discounts, I thought it be wise to mention that the savings may not pan out for you later. Remember in...
Thank you for your post - most of us don't learn this lesson until after we have spent a lot of money, that is true in my case. I really liked your statement...
I'm trying to get everything done for a framing inspection next week, The electrician and I are arguing over him using aluminum wire for the sub-panels, three...
And now I'm really REALLY nervous about that demolition on Monday..... :o What is your argument about the aluminium wire in the sub panel? We are having one...
As the day goes on my windows show up and they break one...but my doors showed up and they appear to be correct. We will see how the weekend goes. Aluminum...
yes, the building industry just is the last one to get its act together. But you are dealing with low bids and usually a shortage of skilled workers. You...
