Yeah, it might be better doing it from inside in that case, the building is wrapped in vinyl and I wouldn't want that many holes drilled into it. At the moment I don't know if there is access to the...

The only wall I have access to is the one between the two rooms. That one I can insulate with fiberglass. The other three walls have built in floor to ceiling shelves and no access to the walls. I do...

I am thinking about insulation. I will need to insulate the floor, which currently does not have insulation, and the walls are only partially insulated. The ceiling has drywall and then someone...

Ideally, once there's heat in there so I won't freeze, I would be working out in the shop several days a week if not daily. My hope is to sell what I make in the shop.

Hello, everyone. It's been some time since I posted on here, and a lot has happened in the interim. Our house in Virginia burned down (arson), but we had moved out before that happened luckily.
I...

OK, I guess I need to clarify a few things in my situation.

I live in a mobile home (approx 2,000 sq ft). We have natural gas to the house, and our furnace, water heater and stove use that, as...

My husband and I are looking into getting a generator this year, for when storms take out the power. I've been reading and watching videos online but I'm still confused about some things.

First,...

Electric would probably be best, but in my experience they don't give off much heat and they use a TON of electricity. Or they cost more money than I have a budget for. Ideally I would put in a...

I really can't afford that much right now for a heater. A wood stove is a potential option, but I'd have to knock a hole in a wall for a chimney pipe, which wouldn't be easy.

I do have two exterior walls as well as an exterior door. There is also an interior door that goes to an adjacent much larger room used for storage, which in turn opens into the stairwell and other...

The building will not be heated or ACed because the owner only uses it for a seasonal business open four months a year. The rest of the time the building has electricity for working on maintenance...

No, there aren't any paint stores around here. All we have is a Lowe's and Walmart. The nearest Home Depot is almost an hour away. I'm in a very rural area.

I have acquired a shop space that is a room inside a much larger building. The room in question is about 30' x 30' (Not sure as I haven't measured it yet), and the entire room - ceiling, walls, and...

This morning I finished the sanding, this afternoon I finished the first coat of primer. It's going to need a second coat, I need a couple days to rest, every muscle hurts...

That's what I'm going to use, I just simplified it down to silicone. I have a paintable latex silicone to use specially for bathrooms.



Yeah, a friend of mine who died took Fen Phen and ended...

It's a cold yucky day today so time to get back on the bathroom remodel. Today I sanded all the spackle and the walls, shot a couple nails in some loose trim, and vacuumed up the dust. I found a...

Now that the weather has turned cold I have noticed a few small cracks in the larger bathroom, on the external wall. I think I'll fill those with some silicone. The small bathroom in the pics above...

Well, it's a mobile home built in 2001, and from what I've seen during renovations it wasn't built the greatest. We have 2x2s for roof trusses.

In looking at the breaker box, it seems that our range and dryer share a breaker.

I am having a gas line put in tomorrow so we can install our new gas stove and gas log fireplace. (We currently already have gas to the house for a furnace and dryer.)

We pulled out the old...

I'm not too worried about it. The previous bathroom above I did the same way without tape and it came out great. So we'll see how it goes on this one.

Today I worked on the spackling. I filled the nail holes in the trim around the bath that was never done, and started spackling all the wall seams, pounding in any brads or staples that were sticking...

If I had the money and ambition I would probably go back to the studs and rebuild everything, but I don't. ;) So I'm going to go through the place a room at a time and at least make it nice and...

Back in 2009, I posted on here about a bathroom project I did, where I tore down old wallpaper and patched, spackled, and painted. Here are the before and after pics from that project:

Whoops! That's not my local Craigslist any more, I've moved to Ohio. :) I will update my profile. Where I live we don't have a local Craigslist, I'm kind of in a blank area between PA, WV, and the...
