"TL;DR: I would not recommend you hire Joe Waggoner. He demonstrated he can not do the work he says he can, in the time he says he can do it, at the cost he estimates. Ultimately, he took our money in advance and quit the job, leaving us to live in a construction zone, thousands out of pocket. Full Details: I hired Joe for a variety of small to medium carpentry projects in a house we were moving into. Joe could not, or would not, follow basic written or oral direction, nor did he follow the provided detailed dimensioned CAD drawings. He did his own thing, or took shortcuts, instead of following direction/plans and then would not own up to mistakes when he veered off course. When asked to correct/redo verifiable mistakes, he would not assume responsibility; he instead passed on the cost and consequences to us. Joe seemed to expect us, the client, to be on site everyday to review, monitor, and oversee the work. If there was an issue, he blamed us, the client, for not being there to catch it earlier. I even had to coordinate some work with his sub-contractors. Joe needed constant project oversight and emotional affirmation, which was taxing. All of this defeated the point of hiring a general contractor. Ultimately, Joe blew out his estimate, racked up unverified and unapproved charges to our credit card, and quit the job without completing it. We had to hire others to complete the work, which dragged out the 2-week project by months, and exponentially added to our costs. To add to the difficult logistical and financial position Joe put us in, he also left hundreds of pounds of trash and construction debris when he quit and took materials we had purchased for the renovation. When asked, he did return some of the materials but remedied nothing else. Of the work he did complete: the electrical work was not to code and had dangerous splices and other issues we had to have redone by a certified electrician; the drywall seams bubbled up and had to be redone by a professional; there needed to be extensive patch/painting repairs of damage he caused to the house; and the basic carpentry was often off. All leaving us stuck living with sloppy and/or un-functional work. Joe seemed to have no ethical misgivings about leaving us to live in a dangerous construction zone with a toddler when he suddenly quit the job. Overall, a nightmare to deal with personally and financially."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.
