Central vacuum systems are wonderful. Install one in your new or existing home. Dust and dirt are blown outside of your home. Central vacuum system sizing is important.
Q&A /
I have lost track of the number of room additions I have built. But each time we had to demolish the existing house wall where we connected the addition, there was asphalt felt paper under the outer skin of the house. Old builders knew that water could get behind every outer building material. Now builders can use high-tech house wraps. Is your builder choosing wisely?
Oh the misery. You have gotten into a dog fight with your builder and it is time to hire an attorney. Going to court is ugly, expensive and emotional. It is also a gamble, unless you happen to hold the winning hand.
Urethane house paint is an exterior paint that will cover well, stick even over dirty, glossy surfaces, and last. Paints that last for years and years have resins or glue in the paint that are very sticky.
Many people complain to me about unwanted noise that drifts into their homes. Other people complain about noise within the house that pollutes other rooms where family members want peace and quiet. The solutions are not always easy once a home is built.
Painting your walls without getting paint on the woodwork can be done. High quality paint brushes and a steady hand will help keep a fine line between your walls and wood trim.
Hollow core doors can easily be replaced. Solid wood doors or hollow interior doors with solid cores can soundproof rooms in your home. Custom doors can be ordered for a small upcharge. Door hardware will make all the difference if you order some of the beautiful brass that manufacturers are now offering.
When a builder builds a home, there is almost always leftover everything. Shingles, ceramic tile, siding, brick, etc. are in abundance. But rarely is it left behind. Often it is easy to store and can come in very handy.
Entry doors can be beautified with the addition of glass. Front entry doors can retain their insulating quality if you install stained glass additions on top of the insulated glass. Removal of the raised wood panels should be done carefully. You don't want to cut into the flat surface areas of the door.
Wood bookshelves? No problem. Create a simple four foot high by four foot wide solid wood bookshelf.
