"Sasha" - Plumbing inspector nightmare - As part of remodeling my kitchen I had to redo plumbing on the second floor bathroom that is just above the kitchen. I was pretty confident in my plumbing skills and knowledge as I did a bug plumbing project in my house before. I plumbed full basement bath including underslab plumbing, installed sewage ejector pump, stand pipe, utility sink. All work was inspected multiple times and exce...

SRD - Concrete Driveway Problem. - Hello all, I would like a little feedback on any options or advice on a major problem I am having with a 2 year old driveway.

The contractor claims it is road salt causing the problem. I have done...

Bob Morrison - Re: Removal of roof truss cross-members, to make for easier attic storage access...[??] - In a previous post says... > This is the main reason I would NEVER build a house with trusses. > There is such a thing as an "attic truss". But, it must be specified at the time of design and manufacture.

"Ken Moiarty" - Re: Removal of roof truss cross-members, to make for easier attic storage access...[??] - Thanks for all the helpful replies to my query. I absolutely had no idea that using the attic to store things could pose a problem! But based on what you people have told me here -plus the the regrettable realization from my own observations that my house was built as cheaply and shoddily as its builders could legally get away with- I now realize my attic CANNOT be used for storag...

frippletoot@hotmail.com - Re: basement mini-flood - http://www.hadd.com Might be too late to do anything as far as warranty work, statute of limitations, etc. though.
