Can you please help educate me on this type of deck I want to build?
Comments (5)Pls provide a cleaner set of plans when possible. I magnified what you provided but could not see the detail needed. So a few questions... 1. I understand removing the 3 posts so the wraparound deck is going away. Is he reducing the price for this change as that does result in fairly good savings? 2. What is he cantelevering? You said INTO the house. That is not so much cantelevering as it is sistering joists going back into the house. A cantelever is an unsupported area that extends beyond the location of the last support i.e. the posts. Usually code does not allow for roofs above the cantelever area & they usually don't extend but approximately a max of 2 feet. Hopefully he is not saying he will cantelever from the outside edge of the screen porch further to allow for the wraparound deck. 3. If you just paint the treated lumber arches, rails, & posts be sure to wait a minimum of 6 months for the lumber to dry out. As far as recommended wrap trim materials there are plenty ranging from regular lumber, prime treated lumber (which you need to let dry prior to painting), trim board primed finger-joint, to TruWood, HardieTrim, AZEK PVC, Miratec, & other vinyl options, etc. Just go by Home Depot or Lowes & you can see the price range for these type products....See Morecoordinating different kilim rugs in open floor plan

Comments (9)Beth H is the absolute tile expert on Houzz :-) and chispa's analysis of brands is spot on. I just finished a remodel and used quite a bit of tile. My bathrooms are chiefly done using Encore Tiles with a bit of Pratt & Larson tiles as accents and a mosaic using Artistic Tiles :-). When I received the pricing for the tiles I hesitated and did go to a tile store to compare alternatives that were less expensive. The Encore tiles I ultimately went with (3" x 6") are hand glazed and the variation was just more beautiful than the less expensive alternatives. Not to offer TMI :-), but I sit in the shower or on the throne and looking at the various different movements and color variations in the tiles gives me pleasure. What you might find is that the actual cost for backsplash tile is going to be affordable even with a relatively costly tile because the square footage isn't normally that large. When you cost out what the price differential is between a tile that you love and one that is just okay, you might find that the cost is worth it - especially when you amortize the cost over the years it will bring you pleasure. And in general tile installation cost will be pretty much the same whatever you choose....See MoreAre You Willing to Help Educate and/or Guide Me and My Career Choice?
