I couldnt do that, I get too attached to cars and trucks, thats why if I have to get rid of a vehicle, I sell or trade it to family. Well really just my brother, we have fun swaping vehicles all the time. Between us we have 12 motorcycles, 1 car and 6 trucks/suv's. Now that includes the daily...

I really appreciate everyones advice, I know a guy who is a contractor, and is fairly well with home repair, and if anything he'll definatly know someone who can come out and take a look, give some advice and tell me how much it'll cost. He just isnt around, wont be for another week, so I'll...

It is a concrete slab. So you mean that by doing what I was thinking of doing, it wont help prevent further damage. I was also going to chisel out all the broken area, and put new mason in it. Then, since the mason is so old throughout the house and seems to be brittle, I figured I would also...

The pics are of the back of the house, the whole backyard just dishes in from all sides straight to the house. The front yard isnt like that, and at the area that I took the pics its easy to tell that the dirt has been washed away about 4 inches. And here lately we have been getting hit with...

Hopefully these show up, what I think happened was the house finally finished settling. I remember posting about small cracks in my foundation and in between some bricks a while back, but the cracks in between the bricks have gotten a bit bigger. Also as you see the area around the window has...

Like ryans442 post, thats a good one. By the way, that 442 wouldnt happen to be in relation to an Olds 442 would it?

Of all the things Ive lost, I miss my mind the most. Common sense isnt common in everyone. Respect your father and always know one thing, he can always still beat your a**!!! Its called a tramp stamp for a reason. If people are hating on you, dont worry about it, thats their job, to...

Not gonna vote, never have, I personally believe that its a waste of time. I think that the government already has their president picked before the elections even start.

I dont know what is going on in the back corner of my house, but it really looks like the whole corner is sinking. There are long cracks throughout the mortar in between the brick, but its separated from the bricks completely. And where my Moms window is, it looks like the area around the windo...

By the way, I have no piercings, I tried a tongue piercing but I have a horrible gag reflex and the metal in my mouth was making me gag constantly, so it lasted about 30 minutes. I have 8 tattoos, all designed by me except for a portrait of my old pitbull and the Question Mark symbol of Indian...

Im just wondering what kind of stuff you guys and gals are into here, other than the obvious. Maybe Old Cars and Trucks? Tattoos and piercings? Music? To get things started with me, just incase some of you share my interests, hopefully you do, I have been a huge fan of MMA (mixed...

I didnt want to create another thread and I figured this would be the one to ask a different question in since its in the general discussion part. Ive always been very good at design work, I dont like using an auto CAD though, plus I dont know how to use one anyways. I just always liked...

I'll be ordering the switch tomorrow, as soon as I get it in I'll put it in. I appreciate your help.

I'll try that, let you know how it worked.

Guess I didnt look hard enough, that switch looks like it will work, as long as it has that ground wire too. If it doesnt though, is there a way to ground the wire coming from the ceiling fan without the switch?

Will do with the posting on updates and answering questions where I can. When I save up enough money to do cool stuff to the house and make major repairs, my plan was to take pics and some how post the befores and afters. With all the small repairs like hole in the walls and what not, Im sure...

The pull chain in my ceiling fan ripped out when my little nephew was boxing with the ball on the end. I know, kids are so cute. But the fan is an old Sears & Roebuck fan, I called the dealer and asked for a replacement switch, but they dont even manufacture the parts anymore. I really like the...

My Mom says that every time the AC unit kicks on, she can smell mold or an "old house" smell coming from the vents. I cant smell it though, but I guess she has a better nose than I do, plus Im extremely allergic to mold and also have a lung disorder where when something Im allergic to gets in my...

Thanks for the replies, just last night I went through all the channels I have and found one called DIY channel, which ofcourse deals with basically nothing but homes, alot of the shows though seem to only talk about what and why they want to remodel. But still there are alot that seem to tackle...

I havent posted here in a while, the times that I did I recieved excellent answers that helped me out greatly. Other times I have learned a little from just searching and reading here and there. But the thing is I have been wondering what a good way is to go about becoming like a professional at...
