That often means not "dubbing" and cementing valleys correctly, and half a**ing the ridge.Remember that where the leak shows up in the attic is often a bit downstream from where the water is entering on the roof.As a friend of mine (roofer) used to say; "I guarantee I can fix your leak!

This will level the floor, if its not to bad.Next you will want to use a cement board or tile "backer" board to go down prior to the tile.

The counter tops are scratched and stained, old painted cubboards, old windows the upstairs bedrooms floors are painted and I have cheap carpet down stairs.

Which is the better option for the interior stairs of my three family?

I have worked with contractors for the new cement work, garage and roof.Now that my home is complete and the girls are older I am getting bored again.

I have quad 4 unit buildings that are town homes.What I have found is it is much better to put all tile on the main floor instead of carpet or vinyl.Upstairs with the carpet it doesn't get worn down as much as the main level.When you evict a tenant with tile it is mop and go and not fixing tears in vinyl or carpet that can't be salvaged.The dirty carpets tend to attract bug problems as well.You can find tile cheap and buy a big area rug to warm it up for cheap.The key with tile is the contractors can kill you on the install fee.You have to find a contractor hungry for money.I can get tile 12 X 12 for 56 cents a sq ft.Main level I would spend about 229.60 in tiles,another 150.00 in mix for bonding and grout for finish and just put back old finish trim down and repaint.Can get a hungry contractor for 75.00 a day to tile day one and finish grout 75.00 day two.Total cost 529.60 for main level.I have 1,178 sq ft with 2 story but I leave carpet upstairs and on the stairs and tile the main.Don't pay high prices.Be patient and turn over rocks to find the great deals.

Used the remnants of an old can of pvc pipe cement instead of buying a new can- had to redo some plumbing.A few years ago I broke my own toilet by forgetting a hammer on the counter.

They could have pipes clogged by cement, AC that does not operate, or any other number of issues that can be hidden with utilities turned off.
