GREASER

Realtor said roof had been leaking for yrs. Flooded and never repaired.

Build it.

Make sure it goes nearly the entire length of your driveway.

Neighbors will love you.

Send them the message: you love them too.

make sure and put the flourescent lights in also.

three day laborers from home depot gulfgate. 8$ hr..dont do a french drain..just use 4in pvc with a catch basin, and let gravity do the work.

they are supposed to be shooting at my work tomorrow..they said it was for a new godfather movie..they may have been joking..wasnt paying much attention, but something is def. happening tomorrow.

why do the drawings always look more exciting than the actual pictures?

now that I reread the topic "help with MCM remodel", and not remuddle, i would def. get that stuff out for heavy trash.

start over. Look at some of my pics. Ikea cabinets and solid type counter. 5k for all.

I have a commercial membrane installed by Starfish roofing. The owner is over the green houston roofing assoc, or something like that. Its white rubber and has a infinite life (infinite to me being about 30 more yrs)

Why does the slab look so uneven? Is there a lower 2x4 that these studs rest on?

Thanks - looks like I'd have to go this route since I can't find anything already made.

The current two columns are 8' x 9.5" x 1" and while I thought they were necessary/load bearing, the match I *thought* I found (and knowing the previous owners, it would be this one since it is the cheapest available) says it is decorative only.

Anyone know how to quickly determine whether the eave will collapse if I yank them out?

The more I think about it, I seriously doubt the eave needs them (but then why would they spend the $ to replace what was originally there? I can tell where the previous columns were attached).

Over time, everthing would sag (happens in buildings and people.haha) . Wood needs a little support of the end of a long run. I would replace them with 3 in tubing. Just a round pole with a 3x4 plate welded on each end.

There is Atkins downtown, but for a nice door, go to any of the customer door companies, Conroe door, I think Mongomery customer door....anyway thats what they do. They make doors for other companies to sell. I showed them pics on a mod door costing 2000 or so and they laughed and explained the rediculous markup...so they arent that expensive considering its the first thing people see (unless you have a car broken down in the front yard ) when they come to your house. I have an installer that works on weekends only. PM me when/if you need the info.

sorry to resurect an old thread, but Starfish Roofing are the best. The owner is main person on the Houston Green Roofing committee..(or something like that) 713 say roof.

My comp does buisness with door companies and showed them this company. They said the prices are crazy high and probobly having someone else make them, then marking them up. Call Conroe door is you need a retro door. They will make one cheaper than this.

illegals come in all colors. Not just brown.

I have a white roof with a very slight pitch. No mildew and cuts cooling cost.

they make such a device...a fist..haha...well if you want to cut the studs you will have to make a header, and reinforce everything...being under the stairwell, where I am guessing there is a large weight load, I wouldnt mess with it without asking a structural engineer.

when you say "in the wall. guessing you have shiplap that needs to come out...shouldnt be a big deal, just dont cut into studs.Also try to figure out how your water is run and make sure the pipes do go thru the wall...that would be extra work to redirect the pipes, but not too much is your peir and beam

I used Sundance Gutters and am very happy with the job. For the money, the others arent worth it in my opinion. I think my friend paid like 8k for a 1200 sq ft house for one of the expensive brands. Lifetime cleaning (it has leafguards?). I spent around 3k for about 80% of a 2900 sqft house.

the cattle fencing has the smaller squares at the bottom. These 16ft panels can be put in the back of a standard pickup, just bring a few tie downs. It will look like you are hauling an archway. The panels will spring right back into place when removed.

how about this:

flipper

isnt every house in the heights and garden oaks this color already.

I believe it is closed down for good. Btw, why is 24hr Fitness not really 24hrs though?

the one on the east side is as far as I know.

I give up on posting pics. Can someone please explain it. I am going to show some progress pics

not sure about all the ones listed, but the one in Sugarland was in bad shape. It really appeared to be a temporary gym...all the equipment was used/old. The free weights all had a bit of rust, and duct tape was on some of the benches. It was also extremely hot...like they didnt want to turn on the ac.

great link. love looking at the colors.

i am not sure which house this was/is (link seems dead) - but if it backs up to sims bayou then the lot sqft numbers on the tax rolls are not the "useable" sq. footage. This is a result of the very large flood control easements that were put in when they re-did the bayou in the 90's (i believe the easement is on the HCAD maps with a dashed line) .

They probably got tired of telling prospective buyers that you can't really use the back half of your property.

thats correct, but a realtor had told me half the property had a lien on it. The back yard is now half of what the neighbors are...and thats half the useable area. I am sure this very cool house will loose and be torn down.

also the har listing was taken down the day the barrier was put up in the back.
