I have a really odd room shape. It has all of these angles and I have like no room. I really need a desk, I mean i’m in school and still doing homework in my noisy kitchen!
I have bay windows in my room which means a lot of wasted space. Is there anything I could do about that?
Can someone give me some tips? Should I get someone professional to come and remodel?
My friends, I am not talking about America, there is a nice 4 bedroom house with separate bathroom and restroom and a huge living room, nice kitchen everything has been remodeled to perfection! Plus a Garage !! but the economy in the city that the house is being sold is down and no one wants to buy! all relaters have been informed of this house and it’s all over the internet but still no buyers. is there any other tips that you all can help me with to sell this house ?
I re-piped my house myself. Everything with permits. Inspector checked it and he was happy (second time – not first time, but then I saved ton of money doing it myself).
Re-piping was part of another project – I am doing major remodel (new electrical, new low voltage, new piping, new kitchen, insulation, new bathroom, new drywall, new siding, new furnace / water heater etc).
Because repring is part of another project, I had walls open for some time. About a month after I run piping and passed inspection, I noticed that one of the t-shape connectors is dropping water – one drop every 30 sec or so.
I am going to fix it this weekend, but I have a more generic question:
What can I do to make sure all the connections are correct?
What can I do to alert myself if in future there is problem with one of the pipes? Is there some sort of hi-tech device that I can hide in the wall?
I am trying to sell my house and I need to do some light remodeling. How much do you think it would cost to do the following:
- Stain 850 square feet of hardwood floors.
- Add a laundry/utility room on to the back of the house.
- 50 square feet of porcelain tile.
- Paint around 1000 square feet worth of walls.
- Scrape the popcorn ceiling.
- Lay new sod in my backyard (200 square feet)
If anyone can answer any of these, it can be just an estimate, but I would really appreciate it.
not sure why the kitchen water is still hot, but the 2nd bathroom is just luke warm. water heater seems fine, could the contracter messed something up in the line? The pressure is fine.
I am getting ready to lay some laminate flooring. I am going to replace the bueatiful parquet flooring the previous owners left in the dining room and the linoleum tiles placed over the linoleum sheet floor in the attached kitchen!! (The previous sentence was written with sarcasm!!)
I have removed the parquet and both layers of linoleum, and was left with the subfloor covered in dry glue where the parquet was and what looks like floor leveler where the linoleum was. The glue for the parquet is some what even but coarse, the “floor leveler” is cracked and big pieces are missing sporadically around floor where it came up with the flooring.
I was wondering how even the floor has to be for the laminate? I am going to be putting down padding, but want to make sure I don’t have boards that sink when you walk on them. If you do recomend me removing the filler and the glue, what do you think I should use?
Thanks.
Or will they travel to your state if you are chosen to be on the show? I was trying to find a section that I quality for so that I can enter & hopefully get my kitchen fixed up but they all say “looking for Los Angeles home owners” Do you know if they will make an exception if they really feel you need the help? I live in Tennessee
I read that if installing HARDIBACKER, we have to lay thinset on the subfloor and then screw it to the subfloor. If the subfloor is wood, won’t the thinset cause the wood to get moist and possible rot over time? Also if the SUBFLOOR is like a deck made above the ground, just being held with 2×4’s, what size hardibacker should we use, 1/4 or 1/2? If this is the case and appliances are being rolled over this area and it’s got the wood plank, then the hardibacker with screws (no thinset under the hardibacker) then the thinset motar to hold the TRAVERTINE tiles in place. Won’t the tile crack?
I have an older home that needs several things done: new roof, porch repair, plumbing and electrical upgrades, and remodeling of the kitchen and bathroom. What are the advantages of using a general contractor to do the work, as opposed to hiring companies that specialize in one kind of home improvement?
