re: Anyone ever had problems with building permits for a shop?
Posted by poochie on 4/19/24 at 7:42 am
Does it cost more for site specific engineering: yes
Is it shady that your metal building supplier didn’t include that price up front if you told him all the details about your location: also yes
No one likes to get hit with a $2500 change order for paperwork. ...

You're letting your opinion show here. molding is molding. you don't have to like one style or the other. they can be intricate or plain craftsman style with 1x's.
Casing with molding is definitely going to protect your corners. Especially co...

That base doesn’t look “polished”. I assume the crown won’t either.
Why not just case it?...
re: What are you paying for termite contracts?

Researching this should be do’able diy.
Excluding the obvious (assuming I diy to the max and successfully prevent termites), what’s the worst that could happen if you don’t get a termite contract and never plan to sell? ...

re: People who went from nice older home to newer one
Posted by poochie on 4/17/24 at 2:52 pm
I had a house built in the 50’s that I sold when I built my new house 5 years ago.
Modern safety and structural requirements far outweigh the “heavier and better quality” older stuff. I’m not saying some cookie cutter mass produced homes don’t have questionable craftsmanship but let’s not preten...

Termite guy came and quoted me for respray or some sort of baiting system. Both were around $1500. This is a 5yo house. This is such a money ratchet. Any way to DIY and get around this? i presume the main thing you want to keep them is for the termite insurance. Can i buy individual termite in...

[quote]We rent a U-haul when we go on that run. I lost a few shrubs that were succeptible to wind damage on a previous trip. It's a long haul from the river parishes to Forrest Hill.
Worth the trip, but a 5x8 u-haul is only about $20 if renting for 24hrs.[/quote]

[quote]At work so I can’t watch, but let me guess. A professor is mad at a capitalist for selling a product that may not be necessary?

You missed the OB tiller sale extravaganza last year!
I bought a champion rear tone and it’s a beast.
I’ll say this, I bought and used it last October. Tan it out of gas to keep it clean in storage.
Filled it up a few weeks ago and it cranked right up. ...
