JL Sargent Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Do the ideas get so crazy you have to decline? I built a house in the middle of the woods and installed whiter Berber carpet in the living room. I thought that was pretty crazy. I've since pulled that up and laid ceramic tile. That works much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hilarious Reminds me of a Jeff Foxworthy joke. If your richest relative buys a new house, and you have to help take the wheels off, you might be a redneck. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how the framers have all their lumber on deck and organized. Curious...is that a concrete retaining wall nearest to the camera?

JJK We're just now installing the plywood subfloor, which is being glued and screwed to the joists. This house will have radiant floor heat, so we will pour gypcrete over the subfloor, and then glue the T&G pecan flooring to the gypcrete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recalled when a home was being built near me a huge pile of empty glue tubes about 4 ft. high. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
