"What can I say about this guy, Lee, and his right hand man, Jason?! Two real pros! Having done carpentry, woodworking, plumbing, and electrical for the past 45 years. I became disabled in the mid '90's up until 2 years ago, when I got my new knee. During all those years, I had to rely on calling someone from the phone book to do the jobs I normally would have done myself. After watching some of these "experts" do their jobs, two destroyed ceilings and a botched fence job, I ended up letting every necessary repair go. I decided to give Angie's List a try when my wife, of 40 years, just couldn't stand her sagging kitchen floor any longer. I found Dimmetts Home Repair Service, and gave them a call. Lee told me when he would come to give an estimate; he was there when he said he would be! I accepted the estimate and Lee told me when he could start the job; again, he was there, bright and early, when he said he would be! Day One: Lee and Jason arrived and began tearing out the entire old floor while my wife and I drank coffee and watched the news. Before I knew it, I walked to the kitchen and found myself staring into my crawlspace. With Jason cutting, and both installing, the 4 x 8' sheets of osb began going down quickly. Probably not as quickly as it could have, had I not been bothering the guys with my constant talking about carpentry, good jobs, bad jobs, etc. At about the 5:00 hour, the sub-floor was installed; not nailed, but glued and screwed down, like it should be. All debris was cleaned up, loaded in Lee's truck, ready to be hauled off. Except for the raw osb floor, you would never know these guys had been here! Day Two: Again, 7:30 ish AM, (not 12 noon or 1:00 PM like my previous ordeals) the guys arrive and begin laying the 30 lb. felt moisture barrier and quickly move on to the 16 boxes of the Pergo flooring. I've got to admit, this is one job I have no experience with. And, looking at all of those individual planks, I thought this was going to be a long, tedious ordeal. But, once again, with Jason doing all the precise cutting and Lee locking them all together, the entire job seemed to fly by! Around 5:00 Lee called me to the kitchen to view the nice, new, and most importantly, FLAT AND LEVEL new wood floor. All scrap was cleaned up, both inside and out, and all dust was vacuumed off new floor. By 5:00 PM the guys were gone. A very pleasant transaction! Lee and Jason are true professionals and all around great guys; nice to talk with, great personalities, and very easy to get along with. They will do it the way you want it done. I had absolutely zero complaints; even minor! And for me, that's unusual, being that my wife knows me as an extreme perfectionist. My estimate was $1215.00 My bill was $1065.00 Only thing left to say..................Hire Lee for any home repairs you might need done. I think you'll be very pleased

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.
Yes, Corian® and other solid surface countertops can be cut with standard woodworking tools like a circular saw or a jigsaw, but using the correct blade is crucial for the best results.
The recommended blade is a tungsten carbide-tipped blade, often called a solid-surface planer or triple chip grind blade. This type of blade is hard enough to cut through the material effectively. For a jigsaw, a fine-tooth down-cutting blade should be used.
It is important to note that a diamond blade is not necessary. Diamond blades are designed for harder materials like natural stone, concrete, or brick, and Corian is not a natural stone.
Using blades designed for wood is not recommended as they can cause microfractures that weaken the countertop's edges. While a tungsten carbide blade provides a much cleaner cut, the resulting edge will still be rough and must be sanded and smoothed to prevent microfractures from developing over time.
Labor plays a significant role in the installation of butcher block countertops. Depending on who you hire, your location, the customization level of the project, and whether the wood is already finished, you may pay a professional between $10 and $150 per square foot to install a butcher block countertop. On average, expect the per-hour price to run between $60 and $100.
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.
Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.
Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.
Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
