Next time I will make sure that the window installers adjust the framing for any windows that don’t comply with the 24” requirement.Thanks for the replies!

I too hire subs for specific items (carpet layers, tile installers, HVAC, electricians, plumbers, framers, painters, etc.

There are sites for legal form libraries that attorneys use (restricted to members) where they get much of what they do, fill in the blanks and hand it to the client with a bill.I have written notes, installment contractsand other agreements where an attorney has asked if they could use it.

I've budgeted for converting the half bath to a full bath.The drywall contractor that I am 99% sure that I am going with has quoted me $2660 to tear down the paneling and to install drywall. $2140 to install thinner drywall over the panels.

I just installed some Armstrong brand vinyl planks from Lowes.

Those that come to mind immediately are the liability in transportation (house falls off and kills 20 people), installation (house does not sit well on new foundation), sales (new buyers squirm at fact that house was previously on a truck bed), title (I'm sorry... the house is WHERE now???)

One winter, I watched contractors remove vinyl siding and install stone face on a house.

I like the way it looks, but it requires a minimum moisture content in the air, which I don't have out here in the desert, so I've never installed it.I can't think of any reason a buyer would object to it, other than the obvious one that they have their heart set on red cherry floors (which is a problem with any and every flooring you use)I don't think bambeoo is any cheaper than other wood flooring, so you chose it because you like the way it looks.

If this is the case, I'd install a new "Ball valve".All of the other posts are great ideas, too.Good Luck!
