"Laban is very easy to work with. I showed him ideas of what I had in mind for my 2 bathroom vanities and he was prompt to draw up and email me plans and quotes. Feel he is very reasonable (cost wise) considering the very quality work he and his help do. Will definitely be using Garber Woodworking again for future projects. In addition my son has determined he will be using Laban when they are ready for their kitchen cabinets."

"This job was conceived as a kitchen remodel, but due to the age of the home and previous work by the previous owners, many issues were discovered. The skilled workers with years of experience led to excellent outcomes in all areas. If you are looking for excellent work, cooperative approach, cost containment, and a Christ-honoring team, you’ve found all of it with Be Blessed Remodeling, LLC. The owner, Rob Rubio, and his entire staff are too-notch. I recommend them with no hesitation or reservation. Evaluation: 11 out of 10."

"The Crowe employee arrived on time. Was very focused on his work. Was well equipped with the necessary tools. Made sure the fence posts were placed at the proper depth. The sections that I contracted to be replaced were installed by the Crowe employee in such a way that everything was level and straight. Rather than rush the job, he preformed the fence install in two stages, making sure the concrete was cured in the post holes overnight before securing the fence panels to those posts."

"Originally hired lacey to do some basic drywall repair and ended up getting a whole remodel in my basement and living room lacey went above and beyond my expectations and even stayed late some nights to make sure it got done and I didnt have to stay in a hotel so long. Hes a very kind and professional businessman and does all the work himself and we should appreciate guys like him. 10 out of 10 recommend LDS Construction Solutions"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

You don’t need a cutting board. In fact, cutting is the original purpose of butcher block countertops. That said, wood is porous and can harbor germs. You’ll need to clean your countertop thoroughly after use. Knives can also scratch the surface. This adds to the patina of the wood, but not everyone likes the look—in which case, you may want to use a cutting board.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

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.
