Has anyone ordered wood online through Advantage Lumber for decking? Any advice/problems?

Thanks!

I've got a 1250 sq foot 50's ranch (Seattle) with a 35+ year old elec. forced air furnace. I'm looking to replace/upgrade and am curious about the new ductless heat pumps on the market. Seattle has...

Hey all,

Getting ready to tile. I'm putting in a 6x8 tile oriented vertically in the tub surround which is 73.5 inches from tub edge to ceiling. I plan on adding a 4-5 inch penny-round tile...

Thanks for the pointers. This is my first drywall experience and I'd rather not bungle it, although I know there's always a learning curve. Just trying to make it a gentle one!

I'm still...

Finally time to drywall the bath. As a novice, I've read alot online about tape vs mesh, etc. I just found a product called E-Z drywall taping system that has a self-adhesive tape to cover the...

Yep, I know I could have a locking pocket door, but part of the issue is the placement of the door right even w/the toilet, so the door is moving regardless. It will be harder to get the pocket...

Wow, I got super busy @ work this week and never got back to the forum. Thanks for all the replies. I never thought about why doors swing into a room but out of a closet. I have decided to convert...

Geez, I have 2 closets in that hallway--I had no idea my guests were at risk....:eek: :D

Yes, the door is a regular door, not hollow core or anything. The room is directly off the living room which is why I'm a bit concerned about the "privacy" issue--if it were on a remote hallway I...

Hi--having problems with the space in my bath remodel. I installed a pocket door but am not happy with the sense of "flimsiness" it brings. The toilet is oriented parallel with the door with the...

Holy cats, that's a lot I need to find out. I guess I'll have to beg someone to go into the crawl space--I'm sure not going under there. From above, I can see that the subfloor is planks, 7" wide...

Hi,

I've gutted down to the old subfloor in my bath remodel and want to reinforce it a bit w/plywood overlay prior to backerboard and tile. The room is 8x8 w/customary 5 foot tub, one closet, one...

Merci, frenchelectrician. I meant to wrap the hot water (copper) pipe, not the elec wire. I'm feeling better w/all the responses that its not that much of an issue and I have wiggled the wires...

[QUOTE=toolaholic]Two things to learn here. adding plumbers tape will stint cooling on romax.

Toolaholic, not sure what this means. Is the pvc tape "plumbers tape", and what does stint cooling...

The guy at Home Depot said I didn't want to use the split foam (that was my first instinct--to use it I mean) Not sure why--he said it shouldn't be enclosed in a wall (again, not sure why). So what...

ok, my remodel problems continue. The washer/dryer alcove in my new remodel bath project is very tight. The plumber put in the water/waste pipes (copper 1/2 for hot-cold) and the electrician ran...

What do you think of those insulation "sleeves?" Are they worth the money and easy enough to use?

Thanks again.

Thanks--I would have thought it the other way around just because the dryer will be hotter--or because the dryer is hotter you don't worry about condensation as much?

Well that's what I thought but I just wanted to check for sure. And, he didn't say that's what he was going to do, he just posed the question and said he didn't know.

On the same subject--these...

I'm remodeling a bath and it will have my w/d in it. I'm installing a nutone exhaust fan w/light that requires a 6" vent. The dryer requires a 4". To me it seems these should be kept separate and...

I'm getting ready to purchase a replacement tub for a remodel. After much reading online, I've decided to go w/acrylic, and realize there are many "grades" of the product. My budget for the tub is...

I'm doing a bath remodel and want to move the main stack about 6-10". It can stay in the same wall, but I am cutting into that wall to put in an alcove (annexing a closet) and need more width where...
