My two cents from someone that has taken 3 bathrooms down to the studs and floor joists then refinished. Yes, 2k for this job is a lot in my opinion. But as other posters stated, not much difference in time for 3x5 and one 10 x 20. Once the prep is done, laying the actual tile goes rather quick. -- ...

I hate vinyl fencing, so I'd go with wood. +1 The word is tacky, like vinyl siding. I have a cedar rail fence that was installed about ten years ago. I haven't had to do anything to it. It's not stained, it looks fine. It certainly hasn't rotted. Cedar isn't magic. It'll need stain and maintenance,...

I've been dreaming of doing the "Great Loop" for years. Funny thing is, until now, I never knew it was called the "great loop" nor did I realize how popular it was until this thread and some reading on internet.

Here's what you'd think is a straightfoward question. Let's say you're trying to size something to fit on your property before commiting to buy it. When asked for the dimensions of the footprint to figure out how much space you need, you're told by the place you're buying from: "It's a hundred...

We are still on the original brakes and rotors... As a GMC Sierra owner, this amazes me.

On the other hand, I...

We have a 2009 Traverse that is my wife's daily driver. Appx 65k miles on the clock. We have had 1 problem that was taken care under warranty. 100k powertrain warranty is very nice.

It would seem to me that you could dock your boat at the local marina for the next ~20 years and still be ahead on the cost of a decent garage.

It's not as simple as it used to be with old iphones. The s3 has its glass fused to the screen. Its a pain to remove just the glass. I've done it before, successfully.
