No its closet for my wifes hair dryer, curling iron ect. She loves a clean counter so every morning she would pull out the dryer and curling iron out of a drawer and then wrap it up and put it away when she was done. I built the wall with 2"x6" so there would be depth for this box. I had it...

I find myself thinking of ways to reduce the electric bill besides sweating and shivering. Having seen just glimpses of geo thermal and having just enough knowledge of A/C to be dangerous. I’m looking for you guys to step forward and enlighten myself and others. I live in the south along the...

Well I guess you just have to live here to enjoy the humidity, I have run a portable unit in the past few years and have found that you can turn your thermostat up 1 or 2 degrees. No one has tried to sell me one It seems that a in line unit would be more effecent, quieter and more efffective as...

Living in Fl. we have a little humidy.....well maybe a lot. When I steped out the door at 6 AM before I got to the car my shirt was already wet. I have thought about putting a dehumidifer in the air handler in my attic to reduce the humidity level and raise the thermostat a degree or two and...

Thanks guys, The tiles are on 90# paper with a plywood deck over the trusses. I have had 2 different roofer "pull back" a couple of tiles and tell me the paper is cracked and that is the cause of the leaks. One estamate for shingles replacment is $7k for that kind of money I can afford to be...

Caulk Kidding just kidding As he said use a spacer between the wall and the counter with a pencil scribe a line along the top edge of the counter top to give you a cut line. 1" is a lot of space. Second alternate is a little more work and thats to pull the vanity, shim the wall to...

Well I just found out the Paper under my tile roof is shot and now I'm faced with a dilema remove the tiles redeck and reuse as many as possible, Shingles or a metal roof. Well the first resort would be to coat the roof with? and avoid the process for a few more years. Has anyone run across or...
