"Andrew came out the same day to haul away ancient overstuffed furniture, 8 Adirondack chairs, scraps of vinyl planking and other assorted items. Andrew very quickly was able to load all of our junk/waste on his flat bed trailer. We will certainly call him again - maybe next time we'll have him build us a garage!"

Small jobs welcome

I was born and raised in lake county, october nineteen sixty four. My father was a contractor in the 60s through 2015. I also had an uncle that was a contractor here in Lake County and an uncle. That is a contractor up in Traverse City. I worked with all of them from the 70s on. Mostly worked for my dad until 1988 when I got my residential builders license. Working here in Lake County, you had to learn to do all of the jobs yourself. You had to learn to do concrete, foundations, lay blocks, framing, build rafters, do roofing shingles or metal roofing. Set windows do siding. Build additions, garages, pole barn, porches, decks, sheds. Do installation, drywall, finished trim.\nFlooring ceramic, tile hardwood floors, laminate flooring. Do trim work ect. I do have subcontractors that I work with. I did the remodel job on the dial a ride building in lake county. I did the Idlewild welcome signs on US 10. I worked with Habitat for Humanity.\nFor the last 8 years. Hopefully hope we can do busi\n\n

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
