Nice repair ;) What do you call an electricians keyhole saw? A hammer :D

Along with the other 101 reasons you should not do a job like this, I don't believe and shingle company would back up their warranty on the product. In other words there would be no warranty on the shingles from the moment you put them down.

I found this product, maybe they can add some dye or stain to it? Non-Yellowing and Breathable Concrete Sealer - The Concrete Network That site looks like it must have something that would work for you.

Ouch!! :eek:That is a shame. You will have to take the walls of the shower out to get the pan out. Depending on what the walls are you may be able to re-use them and save some money. Sounds like you have something like corian or swanstone. These are glued to the wall and may or may not come...

If the pt post is directly on the concrete this will keep happening. They sell metal post bases that get the wood off the concrete. Temp support the 6 x 6 and get the weight off it. Cut the rot out and install the metal base. If the 6 x 6 does not reach the base not you may need to cut a...

This sounds right on to me. And if you went composite with vinyl rails try $35,000 Material cost on decks can get out of control real quick, their are many hidden cost like all the metal fasteners required by code, copper flashing, hidden fasteners, concrete piers. Stairs are also a...

No way to straighten you must remove. This is a common thing with pt wood even straight boards at first will warp as they dry out. :(

Your states laws are going the determine the length in the warranty. I believe most are 1 year. Unfortunately I don't think there is much you can do, but if you make enough noise with maybe some bad reviews online, or maybe a sign at the end of your driveway saying you do not recommend "xyz"...

This is a good point

Home Depot in my area has the plastic quarter round, just used about a month ago for a job where we built exterior raised panels at a front entry out of azek and used it on the inside of the panels. It was like 3/8" or 1/2" and came in 12 footers, if you asked someone who worked their and they...

Excellent advice above

Go with the 4" lami back splash. This is very common and will not cost you that much more. Then when you are ready to a tile back splash you can just pop it off. Otherwise that area where the sink hits the wall could become a mess over time. As far as the under mount sink on lami. I have not...

There is nothing wrong with a floating deck in my opinion. Is a deck connected to the house and set on proper piers better and more stable? Yes! But if done right a floating deck would be fine. Couple of key points if you go the floating route. 1. Do not attach to the house. 2. The deck...

Good point Neal you do need air flow there is a product that you can put between the insulation and plywood around here it is called prop-r vent not sure on the spelling but basically it is a piece of ridged foam board or Styrofoam that creates this gap for air flow.

A simple way to insulate the space would be to use 2" ridged foam board, you could make a box out of 3/4" plywood for the draws to go into and glue and screw the foam board to the plywood. 2" foam board can get you an R13 same as 2 x 4 wall fiber glass insulation.

Sounds like you are talking about a rear shed dormer like the pic below. $200,000 is very high I'd $50,000 to $80,000 depending on your finishes. Typicly you have 2 bedrooms one on each end and a full bathroom in the middle. This dormer goes on the rear of the house and if you like some...

I live here in CT also this is nuts, I can just fit one car down my street and my neighbors garage collapsed today from snow. Buildings are going down like crazy. The company I work for had 165 guys working on Superbowl Sunday removing snow off different schools in Ct. I can not take one more...

I would do a full dormer on the back of the house facing the water. To keep cost in check forget going out to the beam and just bring the dormer to the exterior wall on the first floor. This is a common dormer. My best guess would be $110 to $140 a sq' depend on your finishes i.e...

If you can get some good pictures up I could most likely help you out.

I'd say $2800 to $3800 How close was I?
