"We were pleased with the price and my husband said the owner was very easy to work with. We knew this was a small job (not much money involved), and the owner came out himself to check things out and give a quote. The bathroom is very small and hard to manuever, but we were disappointed that the workemen left scratches on doors and the wood frame. No big deal, they can be cleaned up with a little Old English. After the tub was installed, the area around the tub was plastered by the workmen that day and they said they were done. Of course, since it was thick, it cracked while it dried. But, the owner came out a day or so later and re-plastered it. It cracked a little less during the curing time and my husband was able to fix it and repaint the bathroom. If you don't have someone that is handy, keep this in mind. While I love the new bathtub, there are a few concerns. First, the scratches on the door and woodwork. Hard to avoid with the size of this bathroom. So, that was almost understandable. But, the men put their tools in the sink without protection. This left surface scratches in a new sink. While they were installing the tub, they mentioned that they would have to take out the toilet to fit it in. Since we wanted a new toilet anyway, my husband went out and purchased a new toilet while they were working. They installed the new toilet (rather than putting the old one back in, so it wasn't extra work), but after they did that, they stood on the brand new toilet cover with work shoes and put scratch marks on the cover! During the last meeting with the owner, my husband showed him and he said he would bring a new toilet cover the next day. My husband told him no rush ... but it's been about six weeks now, and we haven't heard anything. The last thing is that while I was taking a bath, I noticed that one of the tub joints under the faucet was not caulked. My husband did it himself. Not sure if these problems happened because it was a small job and almost a losing prop for the company. But, I'm asked all the time for references and we (and my family) do have a lot more work we would like done. As friendly and easy the company/owner is to work with, I can't recommend them without the caveat that you might need to have someone handy to "finish up". "
Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.
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.
Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.
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.
