The foundation isn’t cracked but rather the sewer pipe coming through the foundation was not sealed properly.We were thinking of putting cement around it and resealing with tar.The joists were never underwater but wet from the humidity and moisture.

in NYC and perhaps other places too, its a big difference between a full brick building (where all 4 exterior walls are from brick) or a building which is frame, even with a brick front wall.i would really appreciate if anyone could explain me how i can find out on a building with a brick exterior wall in front, and the rest of the three exterior walls are covered with cement, if its all brick from inside?

I would still put a hardi board or cement board on it.

After asking for advice from some family that has done this type of work in the past and learning several different methods online i was ready to tackle the what seemed impossible tub remodel.I'm not going to bore you with all the little things that i learned that need to be done but i ended up going with the cement backerboard method.

Reality: Now that you have provided them documentation that item belongs to you, you have permanently cemented that item on your credit report.

Miniminzing the manufacturing of cement which pollutes our air, water and soil and minimizing the need for more land fills with which to dump millions of tons of reusable materials.

What if they had the opportunity to invest in a material that would eventually take the place of cement, used in all construction throughout the us.

Standard finishes include wooden floors for the living and sleeping areas, ceramic tiles for the kitchen and bathroom floors, painted plastered cement for the walls and painted plyboard for ceilings.

I have cement floors in 1000 sqft house and needs carpet etc..I am thinking of doing polish cement floors instead.

Mine runs about 2500sq ft plus an office, a cement paved lot & storage shed.
