That's why we like our Senior Park. Everyone is too old to be bad.

Yeah, 1/4" OSB on top of 2x8 which were the original porch floor until he decided to enclose it. It feels really solid when walked on. I'm going to drop 1/2" ply over top of it before the Pergo.
Seems he built things with what he could find. An odd door here and an odd window there.

Our sun porch apparently was begun as an "open" outdoor porch with 2x8's laid horizontally to the lengthwise floor joists. It is 28x10. When it was decided to make it an "Indoor" fully enclosed porch, 9 standard windows and 1/4" OSB flooring were installed. No insulation is ...

Well, the new wall is in and dry walled along with 2 new construction windows and Tyvek. "Andy Oncall" did the work, with my assistance. Half the price of the other bedroom wall and window replacement. Very pleased with their work. Thanks for the assistance. A side note: If you hire someon...

The wall in presently paneled. There is no exterior sheathing or barrier, only vinyl siding and some insulation between us and t...

We have a sun room with a front and rear door. The doors are mobile home style storm doors with vertical sliding glass in the bottom half, not standard exterior doors. For added security we want to add standard doors and maybe use the existing doors as storm doors if room permits. Question; Would a ...

As to the bathroom grab bars, I installed one on either side of the shower just at the edge but not in the shower. Mine are 1 1/2 diameter and 24 inch high. Since I rebuilt the wall from scratch I doubled the 2x4 studs at the level where the grab bars would go, therefore assuring that the three 3&qu...

Trade the dog in for a house cat.

I read the once a dog gets past the pain of the electric shock collar they are off for other parts.

WOW, what a project. Nice job.

Some real good points, thanks flcruising.

On those 100 plus degree days the AC Compressor works a lot harder the hotter it gets, so here is an idea, though I haven't tried this on our home AC unit YET. If your AC is in the sun during the hottest part of the day get a "mister hose", wrap it around the outside unit so it sprays on t...

You say "Main Waterline", but it looks more like a "Waste Hose and NOT a potable line.
