I would avoid the one th...

well, no return policy is a bummer, but lumber liquidators have some 7 mil laminate on sale this weekend for 58 cents a square foot, so if the one on sale works for you, it is a good price..... and that is one mil thicker than the stuff I was buying at 88 cents a square foot. I have to see if mr sec...

Lumber liquidators has a laminate that is 88 cents a square foot. it comes in oak and maple colors. it is decent flooring, occasionally I do chip a corner or mess up the strip that snaps the floor together, but is is maybe one board out of 50, and I usually can find a place it still gets used, like ...

one place part that may have the clog is where the s bend is in the pipe under the sink. when you have that part open, if you have or can borrow a plumbers snake, that may be a good place to put the snake in to be able to easily get it further down the line more easily, since you will not have to be...

RE: Electrical issues
If you can map out as many of the outlet, lights, stove, dryer, washer, fridge, etc and breakers as possible before you call an electrician, you may save some of his time and some money. (ex: set up a portable radio on a loud volume in a wall outlet, go turn on and off breakers until you hear the ra...

great place to look for the light....
Hey Chablis, You might want to see if your county has a Habitat for Humanity chapter, and contact them to find their closest building material surplus store. I see small cut glass chandliers/lighting fixtures at ours in OH often. They are dusty and dirty, but clean up easily, and are very low priced...

I hope you get a more creative answer, but the one that comes to mind is... remove the closet door, and put 2x4 wood across the front of the shelves to help keep anything from dropping off the shelves? no door, no door to open up and touch the heater.......

short cut a contractor used, would like feedback
My contractor used a large curved needle and monofilament fishing line to sew the belly wrap patch in place under the area of the bath tub and toilet where he replaced the missing insulation after we replaced the bathroom floor and tub. I estimate it was 3 ft by 7 foot area. folks, how do you think ...

lots of posts on it, but in case you haven't seen them, putting small boards or wire across the joists and threading the insulation onto them helps keep the insulation from falling down, and in place, while repairing the belly wrap. I hate having a batt of fiber glass insulation fall on my head whil...
