    Garage, Two Questions

    Question 1: There is a gap between the garage floor and the wall, can I cover this up? and if so with what? Question 2: I want to use some plywood to add a decorative design to the walls. I live in Michigan so the weather and temp is all over the place. Do I need to treat this wood with...

    Anyone Know what this is?

    I would hope it wasn't renovation and repair...from what I've seen of that in the rest of the house, it was probably poorly done. >.>

    Cool thanks, I measured the deck and drew up a layout. The angles aren't right because I didn't measure those and the lengths should be fairly close to being exact. I don't really know why I did this, but I did. lol

    Ok I read "pressure wash," but if i recall correctly pressure watching cedar wouldn't be a good idea, or do you have a recommended pressure that would clean cedar nicely? And for the person that commented on the color of the sun area. I agree I like that color too. I think what happened is...

    Anyone Know what this is?

    It is the wall. I believe the house was built 25yrs ago and its in the garage. Its about 2-3ft to the right of the door into the house and behind it would be the laundry room. And if its a bracing *face palm* at someone shooting a nail into it.

    Anyone Know what this is?

    There's a piece of metal going across a stud at an angle in my garage. Wanted to know if you could tell what it was since I don't want to rip down the whole wall. And *RAGE* at someone using a nail gun or something and blasting a nail into the wall.

    Living room decoration & ideas

    Sorry to be a downer but I don't like that mural at least the way its split. In my opinion with it split into 8 pieces like that, I feel it takes up to much room, or something, hard to describe. I think if you had 2 sets of 4 in 2 different locations that might look nice or put 2 sets of 4above...

    Living Room Decorating Tips!!

    I need to make my living room a room for living. It looks so old and I don't mean "cool antiques" old. Its not very well updated and is probably the oldest "tech wise" out of the entire house. Mom said we could turn it into an entertainment room which would be sweet. Dad loves sports and his...

    Kitchen Cabinets

    Don't forget this phrase. "Don't replace what you can repurpose." If you posted a picture of your current cabinets, maybe they aren't as bad as you say they are. New stain, sanding, maybe just a new door? Simple inexpensive things could make it look brand new.

    Deck rebuild... cost??? (example given)

    Anyone live near him that loves working for fun? lol. Man if I was rich I'd spend time traveling the country and paying parts of peoples home improvement projects if I got to help with construction and design. ^.^ Oh, and welcome!

    What would you do with this driveway?

    In my opinion I would agree with this general shape but maybe you should flip it and have the single path before the split infront of the detached garage. Either that or that curve where it heads off to the detached garage would be a perfect location for an island of plants possibly. I would...

    Deck appeal

    Oh wow, I actually forgot about this thread. I've been cleaning my parent's garage and going to fix it up so we have a nice storage place for materials to fix up the outside. And I really like the black iron look in the 3D picture thanks for taking the time to do that. My dad should be...

    Deck appeal

    Alright thanks. I'll have to ask my dad how much it cost him to build. I personally don't think it would even cost $1000 to spice it up nicely. But heck, I'm the one asking you guys for advice, what do I know :confused:

    You see the "sun" and the pic i took next to it. More to the right of that is where the family room sticks out a bit. I thought I'd be good to expand the deck into that area more. Just to add a little more "shape" to the deck. The corner the deck is in is L shaped with the top of the deck...

    Garage Remodel

    Wow, Impressive amount of information. Thanks for the info. As for that gray thing, the picture is actually side ways so that's a board framing the wall that is used to put hooks into to hang various things. I need to replace those cause I don't think they were attached securely and the weight...

    Deck appeal

    Hello again. With wanting to remodel the garage and fancy up the landscape, there's still one thing that will look kinda depressing and that is the deck. Now I'm quite creative but this one has me stumped. I can't even imagine in my head what would make the deck look more appealing. I seriously...
