    Foundation repair quote and renege

    Sorry for delay in reply. I volunteered to void the contract, but the company didn't take me up on it. I have no idea why they didn't as it was an easy out for them. The work involved 34ft of supplemental support beam and 7 SmartJacks in crawl space. Work was completed as per original contract...

    Foundation repair quote and renege

The guy calls me today and says he made a terrible mistake and forgot to add labor charges. He said he'd get back to me later today with the new quote. The contract...

    Wood slab vanity top installation

    Sorry I don't have any photos of the corbels- my friend took the photos, and I don't have a camera. I bought 5 maple corbels from Tyler Morris Woodworking, using various sizes due to the irregular widths of the vanity. Will post photos of them as soon as I can. I was happy with the results!

    I'm finishing a wood slab and would appreciate advice on mounting. It's 7' long, 2.5" thick with varying widths between 20"-10". Total weight of slab with vessel sink/faucet will be around 95lbs. Brackets will screw directly into studs through drywall. Any advice on appropriate brackets to use...

    Glass block shower wall questions

    Greetings, I just had a glass block wall built using glass mortar. It's completely dry, and I just noticed 2 small holes that should be filled. They are about 1/8" so very tiny. Should I mix up a bit of the leftover mortar and fill it in, or should I buy some type of caulk? Also, since it's...
