Due to the removal of a wall, I have a couple of circuits that aren't long enough to go anywhere except into junction boxes located in the 18 inch joist space below the subfloor. Immediately below this space is double 5/8 drywall (the garage ceiling). My plan is to put an access panel made out...

It's only one of the goofy things up here in this area. Building permits, plumbing permits, and electrical permits are all issued by separate agencies - equally stupid. At least electrical can be obtained over the internet. The option for homeowners is to not get permits - not legal, but if...

I'm new to Washington state - never encountered this in California. In King County (Seattle and greater Seattle area) they require that if a homeowner gets the plumbing permit then he can't hire or have a licensed plumber help with the job in any way - in fact they say the homeowner has to do...

Petey - re: "Remember the receptacle circuits (small applaince) for ALL kitchen related rooms (pantry, nook, DR, EIK, etc.) cannot be shared with other rooms." This mean they can't share with other rooms, but they can shared amongst themselves? i.e., the walk-in pantry share one of the...

Most newer dishwashers do not require an air gap as long as they are installed according to the manufacturers' instuctions.

No crown molding in the garage - probably should do that in the house first. My last resort will be the garage ceiling (hadn't though of that and that's why I'm here). I have to rip out the subfloor to stiffen the bouncy trusses and reroute plumbing, so if I can't find something better to do...

An additonal note: the problem with the floor is that although there is an 18" cavity below it, it's not a crawl space since it's over a finished garage (double 5/8 drywall under the trusses). If I put an access panel into the garage ceiling, would that work? I'm thinking there's no way to...

I have demolished the interior of part of my house, removing many walls. What I have left are some wires hanging from the ceiling and coming through the floor. Most of them are in the wrong places for the new walls or are just not needed (a 50 amp circuit for instance). What can I do to get...
