It was just one of many problem with the house. Being 4 feet over my property and using my driveway is not something to ignore.

"Just looking at your construction visible in the photo you have what looks like walls hanging in air" wah?

" I just don't think you'll be too happy with what he tells you. Depending on your local building codes, they could pull your certificate of occupancy and tell you you can't live there until it's permitted and inspected" What is that suppose to mean?

I complained about the neighbors shed being over the 4 feet. So based on that he notice i was doing some reno's. I was hoping he was going to help with shed issue, of course he did not. I assume he looked up through the windows. I email my lawyer and he said they could get a search warrant...

Wants to see inside any structural changes done without a peemit? How much trouble am in? I didn't cut the middle of that btw, it was previous owner.

I don't like the harsh white light so i'd go for the more expensive cree.

The exterior sheathing is 2" out from the window. I was going to flash this area. Then the Jtrim goes on the side. But does the jtim go to the edge or should i use some trim? Or should the flashing go around the jtrim? I guess my question is : if the jtrim ends on the edge will it look funny?

When i first starting going to Go there where no mosquito's. But with demand for toilets and attached bath, the water supply is there and mosquito have started to breed. Tourists will demand attach toilets and shower so they can charge $60+ a night for these beach bungs. Sadly the toilet often...

What seems to be the problem is there is stucco presumably from 1948 still on the outside of the cordwood and the just nailed the siding into it cracking in many places, falling under the vinyl siding. What i understand is that the ends of the cordwood should not be cover or parges. So will...

I don't see the point of an air purifier for forced air system. If you want better air quality you can use a hepa filter for the intake, it is already build in filter system.

You can do this with your shopvac/dura vac. Put the cellulose in the bin and then attach the hose to the air out. Better yet get a big plastic bin and attach the top vac part with tape.

here you go, even cheaper, solar cooker:

Ya good place for window if you are a mouse. Pull that stuff out and man up some frame.

Usually what happens is people are so concerned about the kitchen and fence, they forget the roof and basement are leaking.

That's the benefit of a crawl space that you can leave it open, that way the air will flow freely. Why mess with a good thing? You can staple a layer of Typar under the house and some roxul batts for insulation. Same Typar goes on the ground with some gravel on top.

New window are cheap if you look around you can find a new replacement for $200+ or try kijji. Casement are not meant for heavy use at this price range.

I realize the problem with this house is that the cordwood structure has 1" foam sheet and vinyl siding on the outside. Since then i have put a vapor barrier on the inside and insulation. So i'm getting a problem with inward drying. I'm think in the short run take all the siding and foam off and...

I was talking about the roxul beside cord wood walls. The roof is fine. Maybe you just use fiber glass? Actually you should have advice a hot roof solution. Would have been better. Your right there was a problem around the boot with VB. But it is fixed now. But you didn't mention that. So...

I notice the roxul insulation i installed a year and half ago smells, it is really distinctive. It is so strong in some places i can smell i through the vapor barrier. While other places it doesn't smell so much. Does the roxul absorbs moldy odors, maybe the old wood in the frame is causing...

I don't understand why you think it is asbestos, from what? It looks like it was evenly spread for disinfectant or something like that. I think the best way to cut i out would be a circular saw set at 3/4" or how deep you want.
