They used 1 1/2 x 3 1/2's and the joists above are parallel 16" apart. Seems to be text book load bearing from what ive read but its such a small wall in a huge bedroom. Its a 2 story townhome and this is on the first floor. Another bathroom above it. Please tell me (my wife) i can take this wall out... A: @ ksc36 thanks apparently I can not give advice when I have photos of prior jobs. I get criticized from forum trolls with no education sitting In parents basement mad at the word. **Q: Can't drill on the side of my front door** *(in Home Repair)* I'm trying to install a doorbell, and I tried drilling where I wanted to, but I can't go in more than 0.2 inches... It doesn't look like any pipes would be going through there, so maybe I just have the wrong bits? I'm using the ones that came with my drill (Gold Ferrous) Any help is appreciated! A: Are you trying to drill into the frame of the door or the side on the house? If it’s metal door frame you need a metal drill bit. In the pic The left is concrete with requires hammer drill Middle bit is for wood The right bit is for metal **Q: Tub Surround Backer** *(in Building a Home)* I’m drywalling in my master bath, and am getting to my free standing tub surround area. My plan is to tile the wall behind the tub to the ceiling and use shiplap on the adjacent wall. Can I tile directly over the green board, or should I use cement board as a tile backer? A: If you tile on the drywall the drywall will need to be green or purple faced. Then need to apply 2-3 coats of redguard (red)or hydroban (green) either are waterproof latex paint applications. You can also do this too cement board. Cement board gets 1/2” not 1/4”. **Q: Kitchen cabinets: to stagger height or not?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Needing to make 1 final decision on my kitchen! These renderings do not show that this kitchen has a sloped ceiling - 8 feet (at the sink wall) sloping up to maybe about 13 ft (just guessing) on the fridge wall. The fridge wall is the highest height in the room. Should I stagger the cabinet above the fridge to be 6 inches higher? Or keep it level with everything else since no other cabinet is being staggered? Although, the stainless steel range hood will go all the way up to touch the ceiling at about 9.5 feet (also not shown). The fridge wall already has different depths and visual interest with the pantry, fridge bumping out, microwave cabinet 21” out and then the cabinet next to it. Raising the fridge cabinet might be too much going on over there? Thoughts? Of course I must decide by morning. Nothin’ like last minute pressure. Thanks in advance. (P.s. please no comments on anything else in the layout, I can’t mix myself up for ordering in the morning hahaha ;)) A: If you want the cabinet above the refrigerator to be that size as in drawing then stager it higher but only with that type of crown molding... imo. **Q: Flooring help PLEASE!!!** *(in Home Repair)* We bought a great house and this big room was a carport. It has since been enclosed, sheet rocked, painted, new windows and doors. We hired a contractor to fix the fact blowing rain enters in front and back - $4400 later and some water will still enter, but very little. That room is our teens‘ gameroom. What flooring do we put in here considering 1. Small amount water will enter 3 days/year 2. This concrete is way NOT LEVEL 3. The existing concrete is ugly and discolored by some stains from prior owner. HELP! By the way I got some concrete paint in gray and HATE IT. A: How about tile? A tile floor doesn’t care if it’s not level but flat. **Q: How Long to Lay Wood-like Tile Throughout Home?** *(in Remodeling)* We are currently in the process of having wood like tile laid throughout the majority of our home- there will be about 1800 sq ft. We have been living out of the house since March due to a fire and this is the final step before we can move in- as you can imagine, we are really anxious and really hope that we can be in before Christmas. We were optimistic, but then they began laying tile this week on Tuesday. It is a two man crew- so far they have laid less than approx 500 sq ft in 4 days? While the tile looks great, I am sort of taken back at how long this is taking so it is leading me to wonder how long this normally takes and how many sq ft should be completed in a day? Initially GC told us that we would be in the house today, but it is now looking like it will be at least another week- given that everything still needs to be grouted and set, I am starting to wonder if that is even realistic. Does anyone have any experience with this- are they moving very slow or is this normal? My children we really excited about being in the house for Christmas and trying to figure out if I need to start setting expectations.
