"I was called back right away, and put into their busy schedule. They arrived on time when they said they would be there. Our door installer was pleasant, and helpful in other areas of the home as well. I will use them again."

"McCoy Construction is one of the most professional contractors we have ever dealt with. We needed some repairs and revisions on our vacation home maple kitchen cabinets. The job estimate was thorough and reasonable. They were very helpful when additional issues arose. They always notified when they were coming and when they were leaving. We received pictures showing the progress on a regular basis. McCoy and Michael Hodges kept us informed of all the steps along the way, were timely and always cleaned up when they left! The quality of their work was exceptional. I would highly recommend them for just about any construction project."

"We had a perfect dream kitchen when we left the Bay Area and while our 10 year old home we bought here in Spanish Springs was nice, it needed to be updated. Cindy and team helped us achieve a dream kitchen remodel. Not only were we able to get beautiful new cabinets, her team helped with design and find installers for a new backsplash, counter extension, and gorgeous stacked stone for our island counter. I would highly recommend her services."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.
