"Jim Hunter" - Re: What is "Smart Board" siding ??
- I used Koma Board and Azek board trim on my New England Cottage Stlye home.
Both are interchangable. They are cellular plastic. Like Koma better because
it does not dent as easy as Azek. Both are excellent, no maintainence
products.

If OP took your advice, some architect would be burdened with a useless
phone call or visit. OP clearly isn't genuine enough to need an
architect.

Big Brother - What to use to fill 1 3/4" space between cement slabs
- I've got a 1 3/4" space between two outside cement slabs that runs for
about two feet..
I will be filling the space with backer rod but what type of caulk or
other material should I use considering the slabs will have expansion
during the weather..
Thanks,
Rich

"RBM" - Re: wiring a detached garage - bringing it into the house/service panel
- All the above sound fine. You can enter the basement below ground or install
a 90 degree sweep and come above ground and enter through an LB fitting. If
you come above ground you may have to use an expansion fitting. Either run
the pvc directly into the panel or install a junction box and splice onto a
piece of romex which you can run into the panel.

You will probably want a full structural analysis of the house.
For engineering only (no drawings) I would probably charge in the $US 1.10

"Stop making babies" becomes problamatic. Welfare state issues aside (ie,
fewer people being taxed to support more people), there are the issues of
being able to sustain a society. N...

"Don D." - Shingle or Metel roof
- We are building a shelter and tack room for the horses and I am debating on
metal or shingle roof. Based on a tack room 16x20 and shelter 24x80, which
would be less expensive. I would still have a wooden under side for ether
or.
We get high dust devils that go through. We will not have a high pitch on
the roofs either.
Thanks for any input coming.
