    Basement bathroom shower - need layout ideas

    My apologies, I should have clarified maybe, the basement HVAC (just heating in this case via forced air) supplies heat for the whole house (upstairs, and basement). The basement heat would have been done from the builder (there is heating ducts in the basement bedroom, one in the area for the...

    Basement bathroom shower - need layout ideas

    There is one finished bedroom downstairs (directly behind the shower/toilet), the rest of the basement area has finished walls/floor. Need to do the ceiling, and possibly add in 2 walls to create another bedroom out of the massive open area. Nothing downstairs has a cold air return, only the...

    Basement bathroom shower - need layout ideas

    Would the entire bathroom need to be concrete board/sealed, or just the tiled portion? In otherwords, do I need to redo the walls in the entire room or is the existing drywall in the non shower area ok? If your suggesting re doing the whole room, is that because of the walk in shower...

    Stair nosing vs floor trim?

    Took a look this weekend, the door hinges are attached to that same peice of mdf for those wondering. 07 was the peak of "how fast can we build a house" in Alberta, so I don't doubt they cheaped out on the doors.

    Door frame water logged/expanded - how to repair? (indoor)

    Alright will probably change it out. I'm assuming I could pick up a door frame from home Depot for $50-100. How hard to change it out? Do they come a standard door hight size or will I need to cut it shorter? Just peel the trim off and pull a few nails out and it will come off?

    Door frame water logged/expanded - how to repair? (indoor)

    The (clean water) toilet tank had leaked on the foreclosure house I bought. This caused the bottom of the door frame to take in water and expand. Thoughts on how to repair this? Remove the expanded part, put a small piece of wood as filler and putty the rest?
