Small jobs welcome

Started working construction with an Amish crew around 19 years old building barns for a local lumberyard. Did that for 5 years then went and tried out most of the factory jobs offered in my county. Went back to working with an Amish crew again around30, was primarily building large dairy buildings and got into some residential single family home construction as well as restoration and remodeling. I’m a little bit old school in the sense that I prefer honest, hard work over a quick buck, “half effort”, or any type of hack or scam. There’s not a lot I’d be afraid to take on as far as jobs, but I know my limits and also the limitations set forth by the law. I keep a copy of the 2020 ICC Residential Code Book in my truck with me at all times because I don’t like to be wrong about even the little things when it comes to maintaining code compliance!

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage.
