    I finally made up my mind

    I honestly don't want to vote for either this time around. The thing that scares me with McCain is will he be any different than Bush? I think those two have share alot of the same views and I don't think the world can handle another 4 years of that. I'm a die hard republican but Bush flat out...

    What would you do?

    Definitely need more info on the piece of property to ballpark it's value. Things to consider for it though: quality of area schools, ISO rating of the closest fire dept. ( I was a firefighter for 7 years, the lower the number the cheaper your insurance). How close EMS services are.Ease of...

    electrical plan for Kitchen remodel

    I just finished up a complete gut and remodel and figured while it was all apart I may as well rewire everything. I went ahead and ran 20a circuits to everything since cost is not a huge difference and who knows what the future may bring eh? I ran seperate circuits for my fridge, dishwasher...

    Wiring Plan - Do I need a subpanel??

    I ran seperate circuits for my fridge, microwave and dishwasher to avoid any issues. Obviously your short on circuits but if you go the subpanel route it's something to think about.

    Front door question

    It would have to be mounted to the outside frame and not the door (door opens in, or at least a front door should). You can pick up the piece at your local hardware store.

    Replacing Double Garage Doors With A Single?

    They actually have a hybrid version of glulam and lvl now. I'll try and find a pic. It's a glulam beam with the top and bottom layer being lvl. Supposed to be wicked strong. I used a glulam when I took out the wall between our kitchen and living room but will be looking into the new ones when I...

    Replacing Double Garage Doors With A Single?

    This is my problem. I'm sure they had a wonderful reason for running the ceiling joists this way :rolleyes: I've put this project on hold and decided to finish the basement....again (I'm in Martinsville, IN , recently wiped off the map due to floods :( )

    Replacing Double Garage Doors With A Single?

    That's what I thought. The house was built in the 60's and I haven't had a chance to check out how they attached the overhang to the current headers which is worrying me. That'll be my weekend goal, lol.

    Replacing Double Garage Doors With A Single?

    I'm looking to replace my old beat up double roll up doors with one big single garage door. Our garage has about a 2' gable overhang above the doors, I'd like to know how one goes about supporting the area above while replacing it? I plan on using a glulam and it'll be about a 16' span...

    VISTA...again!

    Depending on what type and how old of a pc you have, the fronts can be usb 1.1 and the backs can be 2.0. So some devices will work and some won't especially in vista which IMO until next year won't be worth installing due to bugs. Now you might try the following and see if it works for you...

    splitting speakers

    Just T-off and run the amp to both volume controls (LR and DR) then run your wires to each set of speakers from the individual volume controls. As long as all speakers are matched you won't have any issues. 2.) If it's a theatre room then I wouldn't bother with connecting it to the whole...

    Kaspersky Anti Virus

    AVG is an excellent program to use. I've been running it for years now with no issues. It's also free. Another wonderful program is ad-aware , it's free as well and will remove all spyware from your system.

    no problem, the drop ears work great for things like that. I used them in quite a few places around the house.

    Addition Foundation question

    Ahhh, gotcha. I have seen builders pour footers in the wrong place and then pour right next to them to correct it but this is before the house is bearing on it. I'd give an engineer a call and ask their opinion.

    Addition Foundation question

    You would be better off pouring all four walls, would end up with a much stronger foundation for the addition. Then when you lay the block just leave an access on both ends of the new addition and knock out a section in the old crawl where the new opening is.

    PEX Pros and Cons

    There are other manufacturers of brass pex fittings. Vanguard, durapex to name a couple who haven't shown up in any legal battles so far.
