"Best fastest person have ever had and don’t plan on losing her ever . I’ve tried to find someone for 4 years as I’m very limited in what I can do and have lung disease now which means no dust and all hardwood floors & tile . She would be at top of your list if all facts known . Memory extraordinary And organizing skills excellent. I recommend her to the best of customers you need to keep or add on list . She is deserving ! I have family in real estate business , builders etc . I had family that owned a cleaning business so I know the business . Thank you for her . She works hard for my beautiful kept living environment . I can be proud of my home again. Thank you !"

Great job!  Wade was very professional - he showed up when promised, provided a quote on the spot, and performed the work when promised. 

I was particularly impressed that Wade went beyond what he was required to do.  He said he would put weather stripping around our attic door and put a latch on the door.  He did not have to do these - they were not part of the insulation job.  He returned when he said he would to do these items.  You don't see things like this too often.  Nice job, Wade! 

Highly recommend Southern Strong, and, in particular, Wade!

"Matt with MS was great. They contacted me the same day as requested. He performed the work 2 days later. His quote was very reasonable and he completed the work in one afternoon. The quality of the work was outstanding and he cleaned up all the debris and left the work area cleaner than it was before. I will definitely call MS again if I have any other projects."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

Technically, most states allow tiny homes, but it depends on the definition of tiny and whether the structure is permanent. Zoning laws regarding home size and construction are significant factors. For instance, a tiny home may be legal as a recreational vehicle in most areas, but you may only install it on a property if it complies with building and zoning codes.

Whether you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.

Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.

Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
