I've been doing a remodel job on an old ranch house that was built by and added to by whoever owned it at the time. Lucky me! They had good intentions and spared no exspence... on beer. One thing I just hate is. A cement slab that makes you almost feel drunk! Now the joys of trying to set a...

Anyone have any recommendations for aluminum siding on a mobile home?:beer:

I have a neat little project coming up. A friend of ours that owns a ranch wants an outhouse built for customers. But here's the kicker. The outside is going to look like a fly-infested, rotten-wood, moon on the door stinkhole but the inside is going to be on concrete pad, finished interior...

Just finished doing an electrical repair where a fence company (three years ago) made an absolute bullseye on the electrical conduit that feeds a detached garage. The run of wire is 190' long. The fence company knew they hit it, because we found the electrical tape they used to try to fix it...

What is the proper amount of drop per foot for a sewer line/waste water drain?

Recently after running copper pipe to a kitchen that is being remodeled my customer brought to my attention that the junction between steel and copper should have a brass coupling to prevent electrolysis. Yep, makes sense, I'm gonna fix it. But I was wondering just how bad a problem is this and...

A customer of mine is interested on insulating the underside of their house. It is stick built on a block and post foundation (not a mobile). Easy done, but my question is this; How can I / they keep mice from making a small city in the insulation and is there a cost effective product that mice...

Whats the best way to drywall the inside of an arched doorway or radius?:confused:

One of my customers had recommended me to their friends to "install some new windows". Well, you know how plans change and projects tend to grow a bit when you get started, right? After removing wood paneling and drywalling two bedrooms, tearing out the kitchen all the way to the floor joists...

I am doing a remodel for someone that includes new windows and two new sliders. Anyone have any ideas on having the old (single pane) windows sold, recycled, etc. Or should I just take it all to the landfill and be done with it? Steve

For anyone who has ever worked in a senior mobile home park::beer: I must say that there is nothing quite the same as workin' for the folks at our only local 55 and over mobile home park. Don't get me wrong, they are truly a wonderful bunch to work for. They always want to feed you, tell you...

Check out the wood carving/engraving that this sweet little laser can do. It can also be done with porcelain, glass, marble, etc. But the detail in the wood engravings is mind blowing. Epilog Laser Engraver - Engraving Laser Cutting Marking Machines Systems and Equipment FiberMark Laser :beer:

I can do a very nice job installing/repairing drywall. Where I need help is matching any texture beyond what can be applied with a hopper. Does anyone have any tips or links? Educate me, please. Steve :beer:
