    Egress Windows

    Ok cool. Second question. Do I have to have it? Or is the door from the outside to the basement sufficent enough, even though it's not going to open directly into the new bedroom? Or do I have to talk to someone locally about that?

    Hot water issue

    that's the thing. I do. I have the hot comming straight from the pipes and the cold comming from the sink (I could have it comming from the pipes too, just been too lazy to switch the hoses). The Sink though had both the hot and cold turned all the way on. I'll find out for sure when I go...

    Hot water issue

    I may have solved it, and it wasn't the heater. It seems when they came and installed the washer, they hooked a hose going from my utility sink to the cold outlet on the washer and the hot directly from the pipes. Well the sink only has one handle (has to be removed from the hot to the cold...

    building a door frame

    If there's an existing opening, You should be able to just take some measurements (height and width) then goto Lowes or Home Depot and get a pre-hung exterior door and just fit it into the opening? Pre-hung doors come with the frame around them.

    Egress Windows

    I'm going to have to put an egress window in my basement for the bedroom i'm installing. How hard is it going to be to cut out the window from the foundation? The area outside where the window will go is already set up, all I have to do is dig out 2 plants and a lot of dirt. But there's a...

    Hot water issue

    So I have 3/4" piping running throughout my house and a 40 gallon water tank. I couldn't get the water for my shower/bath to stay hot for longer than 2 mins, then it would go from hot to freezing in like 30 seconds. So we went out and bought an 80 gallon tank, i figured that was the problem...
