Learn the physical parts of buildings, generally, you don't need to become an engineer, but at least know what a jack stud is or a header or top plate.No building is perfect, something generally needs to be repaired or improved.

Scott or Jon Holman or Steve or Dion or Bryan has to say.....if the use a header at the beginning of their posts.I'm going to, we will see if it makes a difference, I'm sure it will for me.

widget=true&headers=false"/iframeThanks for your help!

The most important - in terms of not only cost, but hassle:Foundation - Meaning slab or raised foundationStructure - Referring to framing issues....beams, headers, joists, cut trusses, etcPlumbing - in particular Cast Iron used for sewer.

I love it when we want a wall taken down, Contractor comes in and makes it seem like a major project, this is load baring wall bla bla bla ,  its a 10-foot double 2 x 12  OR 2x 10 header, and some 2x 4 for jack and King studs so under 100 bux in material and they say 5k, really it takes an hour, again most people have no idea, and most NOT ALL, GC take advantage.Merry Christmas 

@Shiloh Lundahl  Morning Shiloh hope your doing well in this new year.. this is a little off topic but maybe you knowi see these folks posting the deals like this and you have bold headers and semi colons. 

Probably not the strongest way to cross that header. 

I started off typing a letter and leaving it on the door, with huge header that said "NOTICE!!!"

The roof, gutters and Header boards need to be replaced.

were it my site, i would replace the member login on the top right, just leave it in the header.
