    Making a square doorway into an arch

    what's the distance from ceiling to top of nice looking arch? Put the header behind the arch. That is between the two facings. If that makes sense. You may have to adjust curve of arch when you add 2x's on each side. I do like the look of whatcha got there. Baring wall? Is that like those...

    Trane X Heatpump only works in emergency.

    You removed thermo wothout disconnecting any wires? Could be there is exposed wire in cable, movement of thermo caused it to contact another "hot" wire blowing fuze.

    move kitchen, how to run pipes??

    I got no idea about the cost of anything in your area or situation. You're going to have to do some math, get some estimates. If you can afford it, you really can't go wrong with increasing the size of house. Get a bigger kitchen, which every one wants, bigger bath, even a second bath. Those...

    Concrete to replace Termite Damage???

    No palm with mine, which is odd since I got it years ago at a Tandy Leather shop, back when there was one next door to every Radio Shack. No doubt Tandy wanted me to by a chunk of bull hide and make my own. I also got a rotary hole punch back then to make various sizes. They sell as seen on YV...

    Making a square doorway into an arch

    Just personally speaking, I don't like the arch that ends in an abrupt angle, it looks unfinished to me. And if you look at traditional classical arches, you'll see that the diameter of the ach is the same as the width of the opening. In this case the arch would have a radias of 16". Things to...

    move kitchen, how to run pipes??

    Any chance you can run new lines, including drain, inside cabinets way towards the back? Tie new sink drain into present location. Hide them behind a false back with enough ventilation to let room air in. Extend new drain a bit past sink with a 45 el on end to outside so you can have a clean...

    Concrete to replace Termite Damage???

    Either extending the oundation upwards, your "concrete sill plate, or replacing the sill with PT 2x's is gonna work. Be sure to use proper joist hangers that support bottoms of joists and "fill every hole" a hanger nail or screw in every hole in the hanger. Note thatholes that are manufacturing...
