Yes sir, that's the ones. Made of concrete. So I could cut the back with a angle grindermaybe half way through then snap? I will give it a try. Thanks.

Hope this is the right forum. I have some man made flagstone that my wife bought at Lowes. I need o cut a coupkle pieces of it so she can place it where she needs it. I have seen some shows showing how you can score the back and then place some under it and snap it along where you scored it...

Anyone, have any thoughts?

I am coming to the end of my basement remodel (hopefully). My wife and I want to put in a gas fireplace. Stopped at the local gas supply company where I live and they had a few pre-fab cabinets that gave us some good ideas. The lady at he store was giving us some tips that I question. She...

After considering everyone's responses I decided to spend the money and rent the power sander from HD. It was a Porter Cable. I couldn't be more pleased with the results and the time it saved me. Since I am an inexperienced drywaller it helped in the areas that I got to thick. Things I...

Glennjanie, I feel like I owe you for saving my life. Thank you for the input on the licensed install and how it does not dissipate. Actually I was only thinking that I could run the line myself and get my gas company to hook it up at both ends. They charge $45 an hour and $2.00 per foot for...

During my basement remodel I have removed the existing line coming into the basement because I want it moved to another wall. I have a 50' roll of 3/8" soft copper tubing (never used) given to me. I am told it is ok to use. Why I ask is that the existing running up stairs to my central unit...

Getting ready to start sanding my newly mudded walls and have plan to rent a power sander from HD this weekend. I hope this will help to cut down on the time it will take me to sand my entire basement. I have never used one before, but have watched demos on the technique used and think I can...

Just following up as promised. After testing a few areas I have decided to spend a little more time and skim coat the entire basement. If not you are left with really smooth areas where you mud the screw holes and joints, and rougher areas where you do not skim coat. To make sure I get a good...

I will followup when doen. I have some scrap laying around that I may play with before touching my new walls. I have been working on and off on remodeling my basement for about a year now and would hate to have wasted all of that elbow grease.

Thanks Quattro. Best way to know is to try it out since there are so many elements that could go into it. Should have known.

I am finishing up with my drywall in my remodeled basement. I used densarmor drywall and have noticed that it a different texture to it than the normal paper drywall. It has a fiberglass mesh type texture to it. Well except for the areas where I have mudded the seems and screws. When I...

Thank You kok328. I like learning from others mishaps. Took me a long time to learn that though.

YellaWood is not as green in color as some of the other stuff. Should I worry about the green stuff for building my deck around my pool and wanting to stain it later? Just seems like common sense to me that the greener stuff would not show the stain as expected as the YellaWood might. I think...

Thanks glennjanie. Will do just that.

Great! Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the reply. I will check them out today, but it may not work for me since the light switch is actually on the other side of a wall fro mthe exterior entrance. Well since I haven't began to hang the new drywall there yet guess I could just flip the switch from one side of the wall to...

After checking my water tank for water coming out of the air valve I discovered none, however noticed that there is an in-line pressure gauge that reads ZERO. This is without any water running i nthe house and may be the way it should read unless water is running. My common sense tells me that...

I saw in another thread a suggestion about using a motion sensor to turn a light in the hall on. How does this work? Similar to an exterior one? I a second side entry to our basement that is rarely used, however the light switch is on the opsite side of the room from the exterior entrance...

Thanks InspectorD, my current home did not come with any directions so this should come in handy.
