I'm reaching out to the collective wisdom. I need to design a face frame for some...

Thanks for the replies. Thanks for the additional info William, I'll be setting my block on carefully leveled, tamped earth like you described. I really appreciate the help.

Hi,

William O'Connell replied to a post of mine a couple years ago, and included a picture of his deck. I tried to send a PM to him, but no luck.

Here are some links to his posts:...

I posted this on a boat forum I used to frequent, but surprisingly didn't get any reponse. I know there are a few boaters on The Creek, and some of the needed advice transfers from woodworking,...

I have previously installed laminate floor in our kitchen about 5 years ago, holding up nicely. My question relates to installing laminate 'hardwood' flooring in a space where it will be VERY...

Hi Creekers,

Looking for some construction advice on this storage unit. I will be building a similar unit to go in our newly remodeled bathroom (I'm not quite done w/ the bathroom yet).

That would be GREAT. Thanks.

Opting in.

Thanks so much for all the replies.

Matthew, if you have any suggestions on contractor selection, cost savings etc. I'd be glad to hear them. I'm thinking that some builders may not want the job...

It has always been our dream to add a master suite (bedroom/bath) over our garage. Wondering if anyone here has had experience with this. Either having it done for you or you actually doing the...

Not for me, as I poured mine earlier this year before leaving town for a week. But a friend is looking to fill his holes w/ concrete this weekend and start framing.

Is this possible? How long...

I've got a nice 'custom' notch cut into the bottom of my miter gauge too. I like to think of it as being personalized. Who likes things nice, shiny and perfect anyway? :)

I used the Deckmaster. Worked out great. I screwed the majority of the screws in from above, leaning down in-between the joists. I used (and loved) the Bosch I-Driver for the task. The...

I really like the way those stairs look w/ the returns. Do you put risers on to enclose the steps? I'm thinking about doing that. Also, do you do any kind of foundation work for the stair stringer...

Here is how I finished off the deck. See pictures below, I did just face screw these in from the top. We also decided, since the deck is so low ~18-22" off ground, to skip the railings, this will...

Thanks A LOT for all the suggestions and solutions. I will be reviewing what I have and doing some work tonight.

I love this place!

Don, Dave - Thanks.

I will be using lattice to stop kids and toys collecting underneath, good idea on taking it up to cover the bolts.

Any other suggestions on how to deal with this? I will...

Due to some unforseen problems/mistakes/poor decisions I need some suggestions on how to put on my last couple boards.

As you can see in the pictures, I ended up using joist hangers on both ends...

Thanks and keep posting.
