"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."

"Abe is one of the exceptionally few cabinet makers serving all of eastern NC who will build to the purchaser's specifications rather than simply installing some prefab unit from a factory. When my wife and I decided to replace our old bathroom vanity, we went to Lowes. The clerk there was very helpful but all he could offer us was prefab units. The examples in the store looked to me as though they were built from some composite stuff (maybe fiberboard??) rather than real lumber. Abe built our new vanity to the exact measurements that would fit into our bathroom and built it from poplar and birch. His carpentry was excellent and he did a good job of installing it to meet all of our picky little demands. If you want the real thing, go to Abe. He is now my go-to guy."

"He put together an entry table, 3 tall bookcases and positioned them for me, and two very heavy mirrors. He was always very courteous and came early for my mirrors as I was having unexpected company! He was wonderful to work with, and very reasonable. I’d hire him again."

Again, making suggestions about the work that needed to be done to better our request and save money. I highly recommend this company and will continue to use them in the future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
