"Darrin was incredibly responsive. We needed a very large refrigerator moved into our kitchen from a ramp adjacent to our house as soon as possible (our current fridge had failed with no recourse for repair, and we had hundreds of $$ of food standing by in a large ice chest). He was able to come within 90 mins of our "cold" calling him, & was very knowledgeable, fast and expert at securing the replacement to an appliance cart we provided & navigating up a double-back ramp behind out house, into side entrance and past a very narrow space into our kitchen. This required removing side entrance door from its hinges, and removing fridge doors (and then replacing once positioned in the kitchen), which he did expertly and quickly. Darrin was very friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and fast. We learned he also does carpentry work, and given his excellent work will reach out to him for a project we will have in the spring once the weather warms up. Would highly (highly) recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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.

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.
