It might be adding a few more inches of blown insulation to the attic, replacing windows, and insulating walls in some rooms that I do demo like a bathroom.

You will have a better eye for code req's than I will - I can't tell the difference between 42 inches and 48 inches but every single one of my contractor buddies can!

Of the foundation is 4 inches thick, drill holes about half way (so 2 inches) from and set the rebars inside.

Hi All,I own properties in Bay Area at CA.I recently got a letter from a lawyer claiming that I was negligent with maintaining the sidewalk, which resulted in his client trip and fall over it.There are no mention of what type of injury and damage.The letter show a half a foot section that is more than 1 inch in elevation.

well, yes and no...if the current panel is lets say 60 amps, it needs to be upgraded to AT least 100amps... the new code.so, the wire, the meter, the cam all need to be big enough to handle the thicker wire. the rules are the number of cubic inches inside the box need to be appropriate for the gauge of the wire.the riser might need to be upgraded too since the "pipe might be too tight". so let's say 150 amp panel is just 1 1/2", but a 200 amp panel needs a thicker wire, so the riser (pipe) has to be 2" thick so the wire does not heat up inside the pipe. the bigger the amps coming inside the house, the larger the equipment outside to provide enough space for ventilation/workability.make sense?

But used to be a recess light the hole  almost 7 inches oval and is bigger than the lamp bracket.

Last week my gf and I were sweeping up and I noticed in the back bedroom there were hairline cracks in the drywall and the flooring was separated from the baseboard by 1/4 inch.

With onsite cutting and labor, 4 inch back splash, cutting for sink and the plywood base, it comes to about $2000.  

I went back to work 10 days after having 16 inches of my colon removed and yes my doctor thought I was crazy and did not want me to go back but I had to pay the bills !!!
