    Vessel Sink Question

    I installed a vessel sink with the hopes of putting the filler behind the sink as well. I ran into the same problem, the sink was just too big (16.5" also). With the faucet behind it looked very crowded. I put the filler off to the side of the sink. I actually prefer this look more. You can see...

    Water spots on Granite

    Hey Guys, I installed granite tiles on my bathroom vanity (pics to follow). Anyway before I sealed it water would leave spots on the granite. I applied 2 coats of sealant, per the instructions but I still get spots. The spots don't form as quickly as before the sealer by the still form. Am I...

    Pocket Door

    You can buy pocket door frames at Home Depot for $25. I think the frame acts as the 2x4 studs that would be there if the frame weren't. Install the track and door before the studs are covered.

    where do i find MDF dolding cheap??

    Seattle, I bought a "Pro Pak" of baseboard from Home Depot. I think it was 120' for $55. And it wasn't MDF it was primed wood. It was a lot cheaper to buy the bundles then 12' lengths. At my HD they weren't near the molding they were up by the Pro Desk. Hope this helps.

    header removal in ketchen

    School me on Housewrap

    Hey Guys, Can you school me on house wraps? DuPonts Tyvek is the leader I know but is it the best? How do the Home Depot, Carter Lumber brands compare. I know the off name brands are larger rolls. At least the rolls they stock. And they are cheaper, but is there a difference? Does anyone have...

    Being your own General Contractor

    We are expecting a new baby and need to add on. We were planning on going above a garage and the family room that backs up to the garage. The total size is 24' W x 28' L. I've gathered some quotes and they have all been too high, and I think the work can be done cheaper if I did some of it...
