Cost of Building A Garage

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 20:02:00 GMT

I have recently purchased my childhood home, built in 1895 and I'm going through renovating the main house. I'd also like to tear down the existing garage and build a new garage. Does anyone know what I could expect to pay for a 20 wide by 24 deep garage with no storage above, just a simple garage. Any advice would be great!

Is a solar panel system a good investment?

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 06:26:00 GMT

Do buyers see a solar panel system as a positive or negative aspect of a home? I have had interest in installing one due to all of the government incentives, but am unsure whether or not future buyers would think it's a plus or not. Any thoughts?

How does tubing compare to regular piping for a sink? A good choice?

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 07:22:00 GMT

The tubing appears to be a heavy plastic or vinyl (synthetic). I have never seen this before, and I'm wondering if it's recommended or not.

Estimate for hardwood floor installation...is it reasonable?

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:16:00 GMT

I received an estimate for the labor of installing a hardwood floor in my 307sq. ft. livingroom. I have hardwood in some other rooms and want to match the existing floor, so laminate is not an option. This is the quote I got: $150 for the removal/disposal of the existing carpet, $2.50 per sq. ft for the installation of the floor for a total of $767.00, $3.00 per sq. ft for the sanding, staining, etc. for a total of $921.00 plus a small fee for installation of the baseboards. The labor total is about $1,900.00. Along with the actual purchase of the hardwood I am looking at about $3,500 for the one room. The contractor comes recommended from the place where I usually purchase flooring from. I live in Sherman Oaks, CA. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Major sewage pipe problems. Any ideas?

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 19:38:00 GMT

I would love any feed back or suggestions as I think I have covered off on everything.

About 6 months ago we noticed that there was sewage backing up into our sink in the basement. A call to the local plumber and they sent over a guy to snake out the main line out to the street. He didn't find any stops in the pipe out about 75 feet, almost middle of the street in front of the house. Sewage keep coming back in so the plumber installed a stop valve to stop any sewage from coming back into the house. We called the town, they checked their lines and everything was clear on thier end. The problem now is that I can't run my wahsing machine becasue the pressure on the stop valvue backs it up onto the basement floor. I called another snake guy to come and jet wash the pipe as thatr was the next step. They jetted it, snaked it 125-30 feet and ran into a blockage, something that scraped the metal off the end of the snake. They jetting resulted in a ton of sewage coming back into the house. We marked the blockage across the street on the side walk in front of our neighbors home.

My next step is to get a contractor in to dig up the pipe and fix it or dig up on my side and connect it to a closer sewage line that the one across the busy street I live on. Both involve diggign up the side walk either infornt of my house or in dront of my nieghbors across the street. None of this falls under the towns ownership unfortunately as they have come out multiple times.

Is there anything else I can do or am I doomed to have to pay to have my yard dug up and re-piped? Any help or thoughts or well wishes would be great.

Thanks!

Are raised vessel sinks going to go out of style?

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:19:00 GMT

My husband and I will be gutting a half bath on our main floor. It's a huge room and we'll probably put in double sinks with a cabinet base that looks like furniture and a nice toilet with possible storage somewhere (there's a pedestal sink so no storage; at the moment I have a 3 drawer small cabinet to keep accessories in).

I love the vessel sinks and even know the colors I want. My concern is that in 20 years that will date the house, which is why we are also staying away from glass tiles. We want something that will stand the test of time and not look like it came from a certain era.

Any opinions? I want to use granite as the countertop, raised vessel sinks and beautiful faucets (I've considered the overflowing type sink top also, that looks kind of like a mini eternity pool). We'll be putting down slate floors (large size), pulling down the wall paper and painting the room in a pale shade of green. We used the green in our kids' bathroom and it's beautiful and calming. I want the vessel sinks to have a tint of green but still be see through. I just don't want to put a lot of money into something that will instantly date our house when we get old and decide to sell and move to something smaller.

thanks!
