We are in the process of finishing a tiny cabin. There was already a pine floor in it made from one foot wide boards screwed to the subfloor. The boards have gaps between them, some somewhat large. We really do not want to remove any of the floor - replacing the boards is really not an option since the drywall is being done this week. We also don't want...

Anyone know of a formula or a web site that helps with HVAC sizing, I know the old rule of thumb, 1 ton of cooling to 500 sq. feet, looking for more acuracy in the numbers.

I'm searching for and not finding a product described by a contractor: Not standard Tyvek type 'house wrap', it has a built in drainage plane and is compatible with self adhesive tapes. Has anyone any idea what product he is describing? TB

Just bought a home built in 1950. The roof I suspect has minimal insulation. To make the ceilings high, the builder has put in no crawl space and the rafters are visible from inside the house. The house is only around 1000 sq.ft. It is in San Jose California. I looked at the archives of this usenet group, and found discussions on using foam blocks under...

I forgot to schedule for wire lath inspection and I went ahead and applied the stucco coats. During the final inspection, the inspection caught it and asked that I expose a couple of spots to check the nailing and he determined that the wire lath was under-nailed ad asked that I should fix and left open for me. Is there any way I can increase the nailing...

I have some 2'x4' panels I am using for a kitchen remodel. The panels are particle board wrapped and glued with thin gauge stainless steel sheet. I would like to cut them down on a table saw, but I'm not sure what type of blade if any would work. I have already cut a few using an air disc grinder for the steel and then finished cutting the wood with...

Saw this on TV this AM. "Cool Tools" on the DIY channel. This is not the digital level, but is used for determining angles and calculating compound cuts. Pricey for homeowners, but for someone in the business, it'll probably save time money on calculating angles and material money on cutting mistakes. http://bosch.cpotools.com/other_tools_and_equipment/digital_protractors/?ref=googaw871&kw=%7Bkeyword%7D or...

I'm painting a house I just bought (my very first house), and I have a question: Several of the old cut-nails used to hold the siding on are loose, and therefore the siding is loose. I'm in the process of sanding now, but when I prime/paint, I want to secure the siding back to the house. Should I use nails or screws? At first, I thought, "Screws, absolutely."...

I'm new to building things for myself but I tried and I have new respect for the people who do this for a living. I saw a design in a book and it called for 4 by8 beams with a box of the same around the perimiter of the patio and a checkerboard pattern on the inside, and lattice panels held in place with 2 by 2's. I have 19.5 foot square and have posts...
