"Lil' Dave" - Re: Removal of roof truss cross-members, to make for easier attic storage access...[??] - Even if the house plans provided an attic access, this does not mean the trusses were designed to take an additional load above the ceiling. Its implied by the attic access provided by the builder, but that doesn't mean its true. The chords tie the joist to the rafters in a typically angular fashion. These are mutually supportive of both the joist and the rafter. Trusses are de...

"steveki" - Re: Coat outdoor particle board? - If you so decide to re-do the door. You should use double sided MDO (medium density overlay) plywood. It is smooth and handles the weather well. You will find this at good lumber yards. Be sure you get the double sided, they make single sided which is not applicable for a door.

DaveC - Where the wall meets the carpet - The house is being remodeled. Carpet and tack strips were torn up last week. I removed the molding along the walls in the living room. Now it's time to put it back. I notice that in other rooms, the molding is not completely down to the concrete slab, but sits up about 1/2-3/4 inch. Is this a standard measurement? Should I put it down now, or will the carpet installers...

If you're a half decent carpenter and you throw enough 2x4's at it, you'll probably end up with something stronger than you started with. If you use 1/4 bolts with fender washers and (or) #12 or #14 wood screws and pre-drill the holes (and not nail anything together) you'll...

ransley@webtv.net (m Ransley) - Re: Coat outdoor particle board? - Particle board for an exterior door! thats funny, no way is it worth waisting you time to get it smooth, when it rains or over winter and spring it will swell and pop off anything you use. Paint it, when the glue fails and its all soft redo it right with real wood. . ...
