"I had an increasing water problem in my basement when it rained. Kevin came to look at the situation very promptly and assessed the problem . He was very good about making sure I understood my options and costs up front. He walked me through every step and reviewed the work once completed. I am very happy with the professionalism and excellent work of Kevin and his workers. I am happy to recommend this service. Kevin went above and beyond when they had thrown out a rock-yup, a rock-that was my mother's - he went and retrieved it! Amazing sensitivity."
"We wanted new flooring installed before our move-in date while our condo was empty. We bought luxury vinyl plank flooring from Thornton Flooring in Sioux Falls. Raymond Shimel was to be our installer. Raymond immediately impressed us at our first meeting. He confidently told us exactly what the job of laying over 1,400 square feet would entail, saying he could have the installation done before our move-in date of 12/27/2022. He answered all of our questions in a friendly manner which put both of us at ease. Raymond and his helper not only took away the old carpet and flooring, but they installed the new flooring just like he said they would. They completed the work, cleaned up the whole condo, and had all equipment removed three days before our moving day. When I opened the door, what I saw was impressive. The entire floor of our condo was done with precision in every room and with the plank lined up and precisely squared. Thank you Raymond for your expert-class knowledge and a job well done! Folks, ask for Raymond Shimel to be your installer. You'll be glad you did. Matt and Cindy"

With proper training and experience, reading blueprints is fairly straightforward and not very difficult. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge to interpret the symbols, abbreviations, and other notations used, blueprints may not make sense. Learning to read blueprints can help you understand the construction process and keep you more involved and informed when you’re building a house.
Measure from zero on a measuring tape by placing the metal hook right up against the edge of what you need to measure. You can also latch the hook onto an open edge—of, say, a table—to accurately measure as well. If you begin at the 1-inch mark, you'll need to subtract an inch from your total.
There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water.
Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.
Surveys completed by licensed surveyors can be recorded with a local surveying records office, and in most cases, they will be. Filing survey reports categorize them as legal documents, and they can be used whenever legal documentation of your property’s boundaries is needed. While you’re not required to file survey documents, it’s a good idea to do so.
The small lines on the tape measure either indicate inches, fractions of an inch, or centimeters and millimeters. On the imperial unit side (aka the inches side), the longest lines indicate inches, followed by the next shortest lines that indicate a half-inch, and then the quarter, eighth, and sixteenth-inch. On the metric side, the lines break down meters, centimeters, and millimeters.
