I found the same thing RandyD used. Except mine was $1 at Kmart. They also sell them at the big W here.

Thanks JD I appreciate your time and knowledge!

Thanks JD. The home is about 9 years old. We don't have a flat roof. Maybe I should get the specs on the roof before I send the troops up there. Unfortunately it isn't a roofing company, it is family. They have done many roofs between the 13 siblings in our families. So they know how to do it, I am ...

We are in the process of buying shingles and roofing materials for our home. Hopefully before the snow flies we will get it reshingled. My question is, can all them guys be up there? Will it hold them all? There are 4 men and two teenage boys. Please tell me they won't end up on my kitchen counter a...

Thank you everyone for your advise. My mind is at ease....for now!

Here is an example, when I am sitting on the recliner in the living room, my son (180#) 6' walks by and I can "feel" it. I don't have any thing running under the floor in the middle of the living room that would cause water issues. I also have been in the kitchen between the island and fri...

I have been reading a lot about soft spots in peoples floors in this forum. How do I know if it is a soft spot or just the giving to the weight of a person? I am getting concerned that maybe I have them too.

Showers here too. I know of only one person who likes to take bathes!

Believe me, the stern warning has been applied. We parent with an iron fist at our home. Don't get me wrong, we don't abuse or beat our boys, but they are boys and they do roughhouse alot! But I agree with the losing of the bedroom door. Sounds like a wonderful idea. I appreciate the advice! I do be...

I need to do both. Some replace just the door stop and some the entire jam. In the bedroom, they have got the entire jam loose. It actually is pulled away (trim and all) from the wall. I understand what you are saying with the door stop. Now how do I do the entire jam so the same door will fit back ...

maybe this will work?

So I have no idea how to load photos in here. All I know is that I have a flikr account and can get them on there. If someone can please help me with this I would be able to show what I mean with my door jam issue. As far as my carpentry skills go, I can pretty much figure it all out. I am pretty mu...

Thanks for the replys, I will have to take photos this evening and get them posted, now mind you I am computer dumb, so I will give it my best shot! Thanks!

I have three young men in my home and a husband. Boys are tough on things. So needless to say they have ruined almost every door jam in the house. All interior I might add. So what do I do with this? How do I rebuild something like that out of "real" materials. I don't want to go back to t...

Here is the deal...I have purchased Mark's DVD on texturing paneling and have started it in my utility room so I can practice where no one but us will see it. My question is this. I have painted several walls in the house and would like to know if I have to go through the same steps with those? Any ...
