yes, it will be tiled

I never really thought of doing it, but this link caught my eye http://myprojects.warmlyyours.com i laid out a design, its a really small bathroom, the heater itself would only be about 5x3 feet. Do they sell this sorta stuff in local stores? They want about $375 shipped for a whole...

So I've never had anything besides a clean natural gas "simulated" fireplace. but i just got a home with what looks like a good old fashioned log burner. I havent even peeked inside yet, but my first concern is how messy is it? I'll probably have hardwood floors in the room, how do you clean...

Just wondering, are the current hard wood/simulated woods suitable for installation in a bathroom in regards to the moisture or water on the floor? Will it cause warping? I'm talking about the prefinished stuff from the local hardware suppliers...

This house I just bought has a big old wood beam support. It's obviously the "bottleneck" for headroom in the basement. I was wondering if it could be easily replaced with a steel beam that will take up less vertical space? What about the support pillars? Are those installed on special...

hey good luck william... im going throught the exact same thing, but maybe 3 or 4 days behind you... i got an offer on a repo thats overdue for a response. im sniffin' around here looking for tips on the repairs, and i'm learning a lot... what kind of studio are you talking of, audio...

i suppose you can expect it NOT to be ejecting steam at a regular basis, so why not just direct it to the floor like on a hot water tank? i'd avoid aiming it at the naked bodies of showerers if i were you

my shop is my unheated garage... and it's about 3 degrees out, soo, i don't get much done in the winter.

cons: -the aftermath when you get rid of the tv in x amount of years -looking up to view, like you're in the front row at the theater -running all your cabling -heat related failure -a nice fireplace becomes... a tv stand not trying to talk you out of it, just want you to be aware.

Well I'd get right on solving this $500-1000/month problem! You really need to post a dozen photos or so, they are worth a thousand words! I'm no expert in the trades, but my dad is an hvac tech and I grew up helping him on installs (mainly holding the flashlight as a kid, but i learned a...

Where's the cold air return coming from? Cold air sinks, to the basement... that's where the return should be coming from. is the attic insualted, are the ducts? And how is the furnace "causing" a leak? I figured it had a passive role, perhaps the installer caused a leak? no you can't...

just make sure to take into account the wood expansion from the moisture, it will crack your tiles unless you use an appropriate base. i learned the hardway on my home-brew double wide bathroom vanity :)

Anyone know if the SIP technology is any good? I'm looking to possibly build a small started home, got .75 acre of land, and want to build maybe 1200 square feet. I got a brother in law who is in the trade, and I will use him as my general contractor. I haven't asked him about SIPs yet, just...

ouch. I thought maybe there was some cheapy paint on stuff, I guess it's time to just buy a new one...

I'm thinking of reusing an existing tub in my new house, its not really chipped just got some red hard water stains. i hear of people re-enameling the tubs, how does that work? is it worth doing? how expensive? thanks.

Plasma picture is the lowest quality of all current display technologies. View a dlp, lcd, lcos, and see for yourself. The only benefit of a plasma is the depth, nothing more. It's likely the most unreliable as well. Yours could last 10 years, or 10 months (as with any electronic device). I...

I'm moving into a house that has vinyl siding. I believe it is from 1996. It looks like it was installed as a white tone, then painted a dark brown. It looks ok, but it's starting to fade in spots. I'd prefer to repaint it a similar color rather than replace it since it isn't that old and...

i always heard on the am-radio improvement shows that you can get a tax writeoff for using the tankless systems, since they're more energy efficient, i would definately look into it...

that's what im hoping to do... salvage the floor. im hoping the new drainage will keep that water away from the slab... and i can just patch up and be dry... ahh in a perfect world.... i think it'll be another 3k to replace the floor...

here's some of the work the uncle was involved in... http://www.icprojectweb.com/...they don't do residential work, he just provided a quote and insight. he did his own house a few years back.... the point is i trust his estimate more than a strangers or someone running a company out of a...
