"Skyler from Merrill Home Renovation recently transformed my back porch into a beautiful and functional four-season multipurpose room, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation I had. His craftsmanship is exceptional — every detail is precise, beautifully finished, and clearly done with pride and skill. The room feels warm, inviting, and seamlessly integrated with the rest of my home, and I find myself smiling every time I walk into it. What truly set this project apart was Skyler’s professionalism. His communication was clear and consistent, he showed up when he said he would, and he kept the workspace clean and organized throughout the renovation. He stayed on schedule, stayed on budget, and made the entire process easy and stress-free. I highly recommend Merrill Home Renovation.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Any bowing in a basement wall signals an issue that needs to be addressed. However, bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches. That’s why it’s essential to call a pro as soon as you notice the bowing wall. The sooner you address the problem, the easier (and less expensive) it will be to repair.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

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.
