] [ 153965 ] [ alt.building.construction ] [ view full article ] 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... |

[ ] [ 153949 ] [ alt.building.construction ] [ view full article ] "Olaf" - Re: Removal of roof truss cross-members, to make for easier attic storage access...[??] - It seems like you're being careful about this; which is good. "Never trust a truss" is what many firefighters say. When any of the support members of the truss are compromised the strength of the entire truss is compromised. Trying to build attic space in a web of truss supports isn't going to be easy. You'd probably have a safer project if you just put your shelving boards in th... |
