thank you for your reply. i wasn't sure if it was necessary but every instruction manual stated to do so. i poured several inches of sand in bottom of hole and rest cement. It is centered and straight. I exceeded specifications by digging little over four feet and drove 2' of a 4' rebar into...

I am about to build a diy flag pole using two 10' top rail fence. It is suggested to bury the pole in a 3' hole that is 2' wide. I plan to go 4' deep. Instructions state to use a sleeve with sand, so the pole can be inserted and later removed if needed. Is a sleeve even necessary?. I plan to...

thank you for your response. so far it seems the smell has gone away. i posted this same question on a home rebuild website and someone stated urine that is dried into the subfloor will not cause the wood to breakdown or deteriorate. I just had it in my mind that it would. If anyone else...

Our home was brand new when we bought it in 2014. In the process of taking out the carpet to put down LVP, my cat had peed on a corner of our livingroom. It was pretty soaked in an area of 12" long and 3" deep and looked like he had been doing for a long time. We are in the process of...

The pictures i attached. How do i separate it to get just the gold? I know i am missing a step here. I am not certain if it is gold, but i need to separate it so i can have it tested. I found it near where i live.

Thanks. I usually refer to Clark Howard's website for stuff like this and there isn't any advice on there. I think it sounds best to tell my insurance adn they can call his insurance. Thanks!

I have the police report and had to take my wife to the ER. I have received conflicting information. I was told to tell my insurance and they will take care of it by contacting the other person's insurance. Then I was also told to not tell my insurance and file the claim directly with the...

i have heard of it, but never looked into it. Since we have chickens, we occasionally will have a mouse or two, but I'd be afraid mice would get into the walls and wreck havoc on strawbales. That might be an idea though when i build their new coop! Now i have one other question. The builder...

we talk to the builder on friday. one other question i have is i am planning to have metal roofing installed and someone said moss/mildew will grow on metal roofs in SC and not a good choice. Is that really true? I have drove past couple houses with metal roofs and didn't see mildew growing...

i sure miss menards when i lived in ohio! love that place! i am no expert, but it is my guess they will need to dig fairly deep for the footers. If that is the case, I may go with a finished basement with a smaller footprint as meepbeep mentioned. We don't need/want a big home. we have 1...

Gabriel! Long time no talk/see! Check your PM! I won't be able to talk much since I am at work. I am so sorry for falling off the map! So many things have happened to our lives this past year and been through a lot of struggles. Sometimes blacksnakes are good if they are not eating eggs...

What is considered the most inexpensive style of single story home with 1400sqft? And how much will a basement add to cost of a home? A lot we are looking slopes a bit and I am thinking it would be best to add a basement since they will have to dig. We are looking for a contractor to...
