the pesticide websites have good info. there a few options to prevent subterranean termites. the one i'm going to use is Termidor. drill holes in concrete and pour + spray in crawlspace. the prior owners treated the house in 2007, so it's going to need retreatment soon. in my prior house...
after talking with my contractor, i got the sense that he doesn't particularly enjoy removing wallpaper and prefer to just add drywall. in prior conversations, he did mention disposal costs, so maybe that is why he doesn't want to remove the drywall. yes, there is sufficient gap between...
my house has a lot of wallpaper. i love wallpaper, but my wife doesn't. my contractor removed the wallpaper in the first bathroom. looks great. for the second bathroom, instead of removing the wallpaper, he wants to add a second sheet of drywall. is this normal practice?
did you try logging into your account and see if your utility provides power consumption graphs? my provider provides graphs in 1-hour intervals, 1-day intervals, and 1-bill cycle intervals. when everyone is asleep, my usage is around 0.6 kW per hour. so the stuff that run 24 hours per day --...
is your area prone to termites? if yes, i would treat all the wood with timbor. might be worthwhile to speak with a pesticide expert to see if there are any long-lasting general purpose treatments for behind the drywall. sealing cracks is good, but bugs always find a way in...
back in April 2015, Home Depot offered Philips 60W Equivalent Soft White (2700K) A19 LED Light Bulb 2-Pack for $4.97. yesterday, my local home depot sold these bulbs for $4.00 per box (2 bulbs.) YMMV.
Home Depot now has Philips 60W Equivalent Soft White A19 LED Light Bulb (4-Pack) $9.97...
i was in my local home depot today. they were selling these bulbs for $4 per box (2 bulbs.) YMMV. i bought 12 boxes. i will replace my CFL's and infrequently used incandescent bulbs.
Please post this as a new deal if you wish. The original one is long dead.

there is another option: negotiate with the builder. the builder lowers the price to the appraisal price. or you meet in the middle.
you can also try negotiating with the lender to reduce the fees. some fees are non-negotiable. others are. (my credit unions have always paid the appraisal...
thanks. there is something on the 3M list that is close to Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate, but not exact match. i'll call 3M on Monday to make sure i buy the right one.
i don't think we have active termites, but either product should kill them if they are there. a nearby house supposedly...
anyone have experience with wood treatments to prevent termites? Boracare seems expensive, so i'm thinking Timbor is good enough. i plan to treat the wood in my attic and crawlspace. adding marking dye seems wise. i should get a real respirator. any opinions on whether the Professional...
my last house had blow-in insulation. iirc, there was vapor barrier paper underneath, but maybe i'm wrong. my current house also has blow-in insulation, but there is no paper. i can't find any such paper for sale in the home depot website.
i was planning on adding unfaced rolls on top, but...
DrPizza gave an earlier summary of how softeners work. soft water basically has extra sodium ions. if you are on a low sodium diet, it is worth investigating. because our hardness level is about 10 grains, the sodium level is like an extra bag of potato chips a day.
a compromise: some people...
