    Cultured Stone veneer over cinder block fireplace

    Yes, actually I would like to do it top down, but not sure if the mortar will be enough to hold everything in place without some kind of bracing?

    Cultured Stone veneer over cinder block fireplace

    I tore off some 70s fake lava rock off my indoor filreplace and want to replace it with some cultured stone. I'm starting with the corners and have all the corner pieces. Thing is, I want things to line up perfectly with the (vaulted) ceiling and have a piece picked out that will fit...

    Finishing windows before they are installed or after?

    Yeah there is no real timetable for installing them since I will be doing it all. The only thing is, I have to figure out exactly what color stain I want to use etc, before I can get started.

    Channel for installing brick mould without nails?

    I had a couple of doors and windows replaced with Andersen products. They used a composite brick mould for the trim (also manufactured by Andersen to match the colors). I'd like to replace some more windows by myself, but I'm trying to figure out how the installers attached the moulding...

    Replacing drywall with tiled walls (bathroom)

    I'm looking at remodeling my bathroom and removing the drywall on the walls, replacing them with something more suitable for covering with tile. At least one part of the bathroom will have a new built-in shower, so the tile needs to go all the way up to the ceiling. Not sure about the rest...
