I remembered I have a 18v porter cable grinder and 4 inch cut wheels. That should make for a nice clean cut on the aluminum panels. If that doesn't work I guess the old tin snips will half to do. Thanks Greg I could have ordered that window & I now wonder how much more it would cost. I know that...

What about the glue Greg? lol

I need to add that I am also blocking the bottom of the walls with 2x4's. I found that the extra 1/2 of floor that I added doesn't line up with the bottom of the wall anymore. Yea I have 4 pieces of drywall installed. I can live with that but the rest wont be like that. 1) I wonder if I should block...

Every piece of paneling on the interior walls was glued. I have now removed all that paneling. We back dragged every stud of the old glue with multi tools so they are now clean / true. We are going to replaced all the paneling with Lift light/Ultra light drywall. 1) The question is should I glue up ...

One more question! Sorry... The Pella window I bought from Lowe's is bigger than the junk one currently installed in the home. So I need to re-frame for the window with new 2x4's. 1) What tool would yous guys use to cut those aluminum panels to size with? 2) At what stage of making all this fit back...

Thanks guy for the answers! Can you answer another question? With the corrugated way the aluminum panels are made. (think wavy) 1) How much putty tape should be used? This stuff is like 1/8 inch thick. (it's really thin) Should I go around the fin of the window twice? Meaning to stack it over top of...

I have an older mobile home. This home has 2x3 stud walls. I have 1x2 furrow strips all the way around the home that are horizontal three times. They go around the top twice for the most part. One row about 8 inches down from the ceiling. The second row is then 15 inches below that. Then I have one ...

Greg the tub all ready did. I put concrete block under there and jacked up the whole wall. Rebuilt the rim joist and every floor joist in that area. Its all brand new now man. Commodore I will run both over the new 3/4 ply before the tub install. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info people. I'm glad i asked because i really want it correct. Mark I hope you like it in Anna, my son loves it. Maybe not the ride into Dallas every day but Anna for sure.

The underlayment is 5mm thick and in 4x8 sheets. I also wanted to ask should this be put under the bathroom counter & toilet along with the vinyl floor.

I have a brand new 40 gal rheem water heater that I am installing in a few days. Anyway the drain pan for the heater has the standard pipe that connects to the outside edge. This in turn drains thru the floor or wall of your choice in case of a leaking unit / failure. Now in the bottom of the new dr...

I bought new underlayment for our bathroom floor. We are going to put down new vinyl flooring once we are done painting. I want to frame in for the tub today and looking ahead I have this underlayment. Anyway would I install the underlayment under the tub or just butt up to it?

We went with R13 in the walls with the paper backing. The edges of the insulation had paper ears that folded out. So we stapled them in place and covered the bathroom with 1/2 green rock. This made glue a no go for us. I have a drywall guy next door that's going to finish all the new rock in each ro...

Hello guys / gals! Its been awhile... My 14x70 has been sitting in the same spot for 30 years. I would like to think that its has done all the settling its gonna do.
