Alright thanks guys... Sorry if it was dumb I was just thinking

I'm removing a load bearing wall dividing the kitchen and dining room apart... it's about 9ish feet long. I actually know someone who used to be a general contractor whose going to help me with this. But I was just wondering... and please just a simply no or yes will do. It's a single story...

Yeah, thanks for the opinions and advice... im still wrestling only because the warranty somehow gives me peace of mind. But I know it could be a hassle to file claims only to be given a small reimbursement if at all.

He said it was expensive. As far as the attitude, he has an overabundance amount of patience for BS and at times gets gets walked over.

Good advice.. that usually translates well into everything in life. I think I have grounded expectations... just don't talk to me like I'm an idiot. Especially when he was talking about taking out a load bearing wall without permits which I NEVER said. I told him. NO, I WANT permits.

I get what YOUR saying, but HE is just a turd. It's just annoying because he someone my dad knows on a personal basis. Not business level. And his attitude was just sucky. He wasn't trying to say that the tile wouldn't buy salvagable... he was more so saying to get rid of it all(not just the...

Im gonna look real stupid by asking this , but by self insured do you mean pretty much just putting money aside for repairs?

Hi guys, Just wanted to do a little ranting and venting. Feel free to tell me in a NICE way that I'm being a lunatic,lol Anyways, just got a home inspection done today.. there are some problems that should be fixed even for a REO, however, the bank knows we are financing and some of the...

I guess this could tie into home repair... Is a home warranty worth it? My main concerns.. getting a home with a pool.. and the AC. The pool because I'm clueless about pool repairs and frankly it scares me,lol Also, have a daughter with severe medical issues and her health is directly...

Im going to do cosmetic things myself.. that scares me zero percentt.. what scares me are the structural things... My father in law can pretty much do anything with homes... how it never translated to my husband beats me? lol But he's going to help with putting up walls and all the other jazz...

I laughed when i read this because I looked up general information about roof trusses and found this guy on youtube that explained several things while continuously saying "Don't cut the trusses"... and someone commented saying.. "6mins of don't cut".. It was funny because the guy kept saying...

I went and saw the house today and took a look in the attic... I found a picture online that resembles exactly what it looks like. Does anyone know the specific name of this type of roofing so I can do more research on it?

LOL, sorry about being too detailed.. sometimes in forums I don't write enough and people can't really give me an informed answer, so I went to the other side of the spectrum and went over board on details...only to confuse you,lol. I'm sorry. But I see what you're saying... an engineer can...

Hiya, Before anything is said, I don't have direct access to house right now because I'm in the annoying process of buying it from the bank(foreclosure). Also, I plan on asking the inspector which are load bearings and which are not. Here is the "floorplan" with estimations on where walls...

Hi, I tried doing a search for my question but no results were shown, so I tried going back a few pages and couldn't see my question asked. The bank accepted my offer on a house I put a bid on, so the house is not in my possession... Im strictly in the planning and budgeting phase...assuming...
