    Abestos

    Just do a Google search for Asbestos regulations British Columbia and there is a lot of information out there. Like stated already your best bet is to cover it for now, the worst thing you can do is disturb it and get the fibers flying around. You might be able to get a contractor to come out...

    Anybody else live in the desert?

    If you have soil problems than i would suggest planting in pots. You can move them around or change whats in them if you want. You can also make raised beds to give some height and creativity. Create areas of tropical bliss. Throw in a water feature.

    I would put your money into composite decking. It is a quite a bit more expensive but will last a very long time.

    Raised Ranch Home Addition Help

    Welcome, and let me say you have a beautiful house. I don't think adding the 14 feet to the right side would make it look to long. From your door, the left side to your patio/garage is about twice the length of the right side. So if you add the 14 feet it would put your door more centered...

    Appreciate Input on My Fireplace

    I like the idea of getting rid of it. It looked like there was a problem with it anyways. When your hearth starts breaking away throwing new mortar on it is a band-aid. I would suggest putting a new small hearth, trim, and mantel on it though, either tile or wood. Otherwise you have a big...
