I'm looking at buying a house and the garage floor is very concerning.
Built in loft bed
Concrete work
How can I reinforce this enough that I can hang a porch swing?
Should I be concerned?
My contractor poured on a day before a rainstorm 3 hours after pour. Now he wants to tile over it or put a coating on it.
Is This I-Beam Installed Correctly?
Got my house restumped and all the floor joist were cut. Is this normal?
Is this safe?
Someone offered to caulk the gaps in my siding...how to fix
