You really need a steel door if you are not making wholesale changes.

That sounds like a story worth telling. It wasn't yours, was it?

Thankfully, it was not.

My kayak *is* a story worth telling, though. I'm scanning the pics to have a complete story before I begin. [/teaser]

Anyway I just had a brain fart. Maybe cedar siding? On 2 doors on side. Price might stop that. Ideas?

actually, here in Seattle, you can get a solid core door (used) for $20 or so. We have a couple of places that specialize in recycling building materials. I even saw a rack of fold down seats from the stadium that was imploded a few years ago (Kingdome). They have everything that ever was in a building. Everything. Maybe there's something like that around your area.

Thread resurrection again!.

I'm up for handyman of the year in this house. Repair and improvement jobs too numerous to list, just getting it fit to live in is a pain. I started with the floors.

Link goes to the YouTube video of my house tour. I have already removed the nasty carpeting and tack strips. Wish the wife would let me put in new carpet but w/w carpet is unheard-of around here. Since then, we've moved in and had tile put down. New tour coming soon!

I don't know about El Paso, but I've been told that carpet in Arizona is mostly unheard of because scorpions like to hide in it.

binky 08-03-2008 11:55 PM

yuk we have the occasional scorpion here and carpet throughout the house

binky 08-03-2008 11:58 PM

What a shame about all those ruined wood floors, Brian

How is a scorpion going to hide in wall to wall, unless it's got pile like a shag?:rolleyes:

Cloud 08-04-2008 12:15 AM

scorpions are the same dun brown color as most apartment carpeting.

invisible scorpions are not fun.

And I've had wall to wall in all the apartments I've lived in here for the past 20 years. I hate it! Wish I had tile.

BrianR 08-04-2008 02:06 AM

Scorpions here rarely survive long...the dogs point them out and either squash them, eat them or I stomp them.

Hello people, I have bought a bungalow and I would like to extend the property. Would it be better to have an architect advice us and take control of the project or get a builder in to give quotes on the whole project? I can’t decide properly. Who is the best person to advice on building an extension to a property? Any helpful input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
