Customers say: True professional

"Art did three projects for us, built our log cabin, remodeled a bathroom in another house and finished a walk out basement in the log cabin a few years after building. Can’t say enough good things about Art and his crew. All work was outstanding in quality, things were done on time and on the schedule agreed to. Art was a wonderful communicator and super knowledgeable about all things construction and design. He thoroughly explained how any changes would affect the project, i.e. materials, time and cost. Site was cleaned up every day. All in all three wonderful building experiences - a rarity these days in our experience. Pricing was also very competitive and well worth every penny."

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
