I find 2500 sq feet to work out nicely for three kids. That gives me one spare bedroom for guests and three upstairs bathrooms. I can do three baths simultaneously.

How can a range of bids from well reviewed contractors be $1,100 to $26,500? I mean if you are going to be 26 times the price you must just only get people that only get one bid and happen to have just won the lotto.

A proper home has an outdoor space with a roof that includes a wet kitchen area to prep your grilling meats. It also has a big rear end TV so you can watch football.

Buying and installing an outdoor television seems like a waste of time and money when there are easier, cheaper, better options available Why are you going back inside? Oh because you don't have an outdoor TV that's why.

If the house is abandoned, just cut the tree so it falls into the neighbors yard and leave it. Either way send the owner certified notice that the tree is a hazard so you can sue them for damages. If you don't it falling is just an act of God and you can't sue him.

$5,500 seems high to me get more quotes. A full on tile shower of large size is only $10,000 and that is much more labor and material. Are you getting fancy thick glass doors or something? Those can be pricey.

The reason they want to match the two is the coil size calculation requires you know the airflow rate of the fan to make it work right. They have no way to properly match the new AC with your ready to fail furnace. If the air flow is wrong you won't get proper dehumidification. You will get a funky wet cold air thing going. (See mold houses) Also the labor to install the coil is the same as replacing the furnace so you realize those savings. Most modern furnaces integrate with the AC condenser for efficiency also. I don't think 98% is worth the extra bucks 96% seems to be the sweet spot with cheap natural gas. I also didn't bother with a heat pump since gas is so cheap. I paid 9k to get a new 5 ton AC and 96% furnace installed. This heats and cools a 3400 sf house in Indiana. I would spring for a pricer AC unit next time mine sounds like a jet engine. It was the best one stage compressor carrier sold. My house needs to run balls to the wall to cool the stupidly designed upstairs with a giant hole to the downstairs so a lower stage would leave me hot upstairs. My furnace guy was not the cheapest but he is competent and practical. He talked me out of more expensive options since I am a huge diaper baby about being cold or hot. He said they wouldn't help. I also bought a fancy furnace with a huge rear end filter and humidifier. It compensates for my badly designed ducts. I would get a ton of bids in person to find the right installer. Retrofitting is super hard to get just right. I think not replacing your furnace is penny wise and pound foolish. If you don't want to waste it though just get a window AC unit.

gregday posted:What's a reasonable rate for an electrician to charge to install a single additional receptacle to an upstairs room over a garage (where the circuit breaker panel is located)? There's only one upstairs room so it's adjacent to any attic space. There are at least 100 things that can make this impossible to answer. Let's start with one, is your house wired to current code standards? Anyway rate is location specific but my guys flat rate is $100 an hour. You would pay that times the hours it takes plus materials.

Did you ask the roofer you liked the best what time of year the prices are the lowest? Surely they have a slow time. I would get it done then but small leaks at most usually only ruin decking which is not that much to replace.

I think he is asking about the water that drains off your cooling coil that is inside of your furnace. If you had a lot of rain the water is either coming up through the floor, or seeping in through a wall and collecting in a low spot on your floor. It could be coming in all the time just not in enough quantity to collect. Is your basement finished? Check your baseboards for discoloration. You can also pull up the carpet it will have mildew along the route. The good news is if it is coming in through a wall that is the cheapest fix, but first try cleaning your gutters and diverting the downspouts farther from the house.

There should be a pan in the furnace that collects the water if that is full that is it, (normally there is a overflow switch that shuts the furnace off when it is plugged) but that looks like it is coming through the foundation. If your sump pit is close by should not be that expensive of a fix. (Famous last words I should be a Realtor.)

I'm glad my neighbor just gives me dirty looks at least he doesn't want to borrow anything. I think he is mad his friend got foreclosed on and somehow that is my fault. Either that or he is just an ahole. I planted a huge tree on the property line that will clog his second story gutters with poo poo. I have the bigger side yard. I got hoa approval letter first. Landscape modification approved. I will rule this hoa with my larger disposable income and ability to have the office pool write endless letters.

You should replace smoke detectors every 10 years. A sweet thing about the hard wired ones is they are all connected so it makes an ear bleeding sound when all 10 of them are blasting at the same time. Edit: You can also get a combo carbon monoxide one for a few bucks more if you burn any fuels in your house.

My old house had a sidewalk that went up a weird hill where if you walked up it you would get stuck where the sidewalk stopped because the next property had never been subdivided and forced to install a sidewalk. The hill also was moving away from the street so the top of the sidewalk kind stopped at a jump down point. Anyway I found it amusing to build a sidewalk to nowhere. I guess they hope to someday force a sidewalk there even though there is no ground to build it on.

You may be surprised to learn that the local government has made it legal for people to enter your property temporarily as a sort of right of way that extends beyond the street. Big rocks are probably your best bet to discourage this if you don't have a fire hose to spray people with. A landscape supply company can deliver them on a truck with a moffett type forklift and place them where you point. It may not be legal for you to place them where you want but worst case you get a letter telling you to move them.

uwaeve posted:This is the only thing I can ever think of when someone talks about buying landscape material off CL. I thought for sure it was going to end with the guy getting $100 to come back and haul the rocks off while the guy was still at work. Boulders are usually sold by the ton plus delivery. Different sizes and quantities cost different prices not to mention if you live close to a quarry the prices will be much lower.

I budget a new grill every 3 years. That is about how long the cheap ones last without a cover. If you buy them in the late fall they get pretty cheap in snow country. I usually get a charbroil IR one for $150. I grill every month. (Yes I will die of cancer if my arteries don't get clogged and kill me first). I have dumpster at work to dispose of the bodies or someone on craigslist will usually come get it for scrap.
