They don't give you the notes, they are in the Building Permit Department though with our file, when I told him that the 1st inspector told us to do it the way it was done he said "Oh I'll have to talk to him"… Second one also told us we would have to hire someone to do the spray foam insulation...

So over the past two weeks we've had two framing inspections. 1. Inspector stated I'd pass you but you need to add wood around the entire interior exterior walls… At the top where the insulation ends, we had it in most areas but not all. He in detail explained the reason it can slow down...

Yes the first inspector did indeed put it in writing in his report.

I have all the insulation in the walls, all the framing is done as well. Haven't done the insulation in the attic space because they said they need to inspect before we insulate the attic space. I think i'm going to have to call because the codes and their ways down there is a lot different...

Have a question…All our framing is completed, also all the ducts are done the way we feel was the correct way, the AC wiring is complete as well, we also installed a exhaust fan that vents outside the wall of the attic space. My question is after looking over all the classes (3 digits)...

Made a donation, I feel very bad for the owner. Years ago when my husband and I were living pay check to pay check, we hired a contractor to put in a new septic drain field. It was a complete disaster, then the contractor took off out of the State and no one could locate him. I called the...

I agree if your planning on staying in your home for a long time, get whatever you like. I remodeled my kitchen in our home a couple years ago, and what I did to save money but still end up with nice solid surface countertops was looked up granite yards that specialized in commercial jobs, and...

We've done a lot of work but most was work that no one see's, so it's nice to see something that isn't hidden in the ceilings, wiring, or walls….:)

Thank you, I took a risk and bid on them on Ebay… Didn't see them in person until they arrived.

A couple photos of doors we just installed, the house is beginning to take shape.

We're ready for a couple more inspections, also have the entrance doors installed now. Feeling like we're making headway now…:)

This is something we are in the process of figuring out the best way to install, all 3 bathrooms need vents….the roof is metal so not too sure about going through the roof. I'm sure if done properly there shouldn't be a problem with possibly causing roof leaks in the future.

Insulation finished except for the ceiling which we're considering blown in insulation vs rolled type, any preferences here?

I went onto YouTube and found a few good tutorials. It does seem your correct about the first coat and tape really makes a big difference. The damp sponge also helps, I found a gadget that you can insert a sanding block into that also attaches to the industrial vacuum too. Although I think with...

We've rented a paint sprayer from Home Depot in the past, the actual cost if we were to purchase the same sprayer was $599. it did an excellent job and we didn't have a single problem with it. Will do the same on our new project home we just purchased, cheaper then buying a sprayer. Just...

Good to know, the dust from the sanding on our remodel was the worst part of the renovations. Had dust every where, in all cabinets, cloths were coated with a light dust, I'll check into the sponges and anything else that will help.

We will have to change the plans that are filed though because I did look at them it's not a bedroom on the plans so it will eventually have to be changed and the one thing I recall about remodeling our primary home was the mess the drywall sanding left. So prior to putting in cabinets...

That's exactly what we were thinking, the rebar & concrete yes possible for someone with experience and time, but if the rumors are true about the original builders in the area using salt water to mix the concrete, it can't be good. I'm estimating at least 5 different people told us this during...

The more we have discussed the room upstairs that's on the plans as a tv room, the more we're thinking we could use it as a guest room/office. I've been looking at murphy beds/entertainment center combo's and they've certainly come a long way since the 60's - 80's. My husband said add it to the...
