Thread: House remodel - opinions and experiences

    Two minor things. (1) If you put laminate upstairs, be sure to soundproof it. (2) Many times, firemen work skilled construction trades on their days off for reasonable prices.

    We played down floor muffler padding. I stomped around for a bit while my wife was downstairs, couldn't head a thing.

    Was there a specific issue, or are you just trying to get in touch with your inner interior decorator? NTTAWWT

    Did you ever get the piper wrap heater? I asked my plumber about it for my house but he advised against it citing a fire risk

    Plantation shutters. When properly done they feel like fortifications. Most durable and easiest to open and close.

    Floors done. Look good.

    Kitchen is done mostly. Looks good.

    One thing...the range hood duct is visible and I need to find a solution. I'm thinking a valance and some crown molding but am open to ideas....if people have any...


    Also still trying to figure out basement solution. I don't want to do a drop ceiling but might have to...any opinions?

    Also have ability to make a secure safe area, hidden type of thing. Anyone have experience with this?

    Moved.

    Was a shit show, thankfully my buddies didn't mind too much.

    Still setting stuff up and my wife left a few projects not finished on purpose.

    One thing that started creeping up which we didn't notice was the water doesn't get really hot in either shower. I turned up the temp on the water heater to 120, it was at 100. I don't know what else to do either that open the walls and put an inline heater. Suggestions?

    I always crank my water heater up all of the way, seems worth trying for you but Tom's suggestion is probably The Answer.
