you guys need to google better, not just throw around your lack of knowledge and links. Cellulose or fiberglass in a flood like Katrina would need to be replaced there Dick. Cellulose is a relatively new product, talk to me 30 yrs. down the rd. Fiberglass is proven and has been around forever.

that's not what i have read from other end users. Cellulose is ground up treated recycled paper, right? Well......what happens after several yrs. go by and that treatment wears off or even gets wet? Do you even know what happens when paper gets wet? Cellulose is the mold rat here buddy...

yea, i read good things about the blow in certainteed SP insulation. I found an old friend from high school that does it. He did the job for $700 cash. I noticed a BIG difference right away in heat and sound in my bedroom. Thanks for reassuring my choice, i thought it was the way to go. I...

Hi, getting my bedroom floor redone. The guy said he was gonna spread oil based coat on bottom, then apply Bona Mega, then Bona Traffic on top. Does this sound right?

no warranty really? that doesn't make sense.

Hi, i have an older maybe 60 yr. old custom cape cod with big dormer. Above the dormer the roofing material started to blow away last night after heavy winds. My father in law called the material cold roll or something like that. It looks like wide, maybe 3 or 4 ft. heavy roofing rolls layed...

yes, i had to cut 2 nails and now i can move the upper corner of the frame and re-center.

now i know what is wrong, the builder didn't center the frame correctly. That is just shoddy workmanship. Samson Builders from Perkiomenville SUCKS!

Hi again, sorry to be a pain. Looks like my door frame wasn't centered correctly and now when i put the trim on there is a 1/4" gap on one side. It is about the top 1/3 of the door and slowly tapers to flush in the middle. Here is a pic. to show you. What can i do about this? Just caulk?

I don't think hanging 2 doors on the existing frame would look too good. The doors would be smaller than 24" in width. I already ripped down the existing frame and will be purchasing a 32 or 36" door tomorrow.

Hi, i have an interior opening of about 47 1/8" with the frame, and 48 3/4" taking the frame out. There used to be 2 slider doors there. The guy that was doing work suggested a 48" double door for this opening, but i don't know. Is this a good spot for a double door or should i go with a big...

Going with a guy that blows in Certainteed SP.

i heard celluose will settle, is this true?

Hi, i need about 450 sq. ft. blown in between my studs from inside. I saw at HD and Lowes you can rent a machine for blowing in celluose. What about doing the same with fiberglass? What is involved? I am thinking about just buying a hole saw and going at it. Seems HD and Lowes don't sell the...

fiberglass

cellulose or blown in fiberglass? I have about 320 sq. ft. i need blown in between studs. 1 guy uses certainteed SP for $580? Or cellulose for $800? I heard cellulose will mold??? Fiberglass is a proven insulation, need an expert opinion. What kind of fiberglass is the best to use?

wow, thanks for your long and comprehensive reply. I am now thinking running electric cable under the tile is the way to go. I will only have about 80-90 sq. ft. avail. after shower and vanity are in. What do you think? I got a quote for "easy heat" radiant flooring, 96 sq. ft. with...

Hi, i have a small bathroom, probably about 100 sq ft. that sits right above my oil burner. My house has baseboard heat. I am thinking hydronic is the way to go because of this. I can do plumbing and am pretty handy, but never did it before. What is the easiest and most efficient way to do...

Hi, before i remodeled my bathroom i was getting mold or mildew on the ceiling because of all the moisture. I do have a 70 cfm exhaust and the room is about 65 sq. ft. with 8 ft. ceiling. However i did use very cheap paint in the bathroom 10 yrs. ago. Just finished completely remodeling the...

thanks Daryl , that's very good advice, it could of been coming in at the corner like you mentioned.
