My builder didn't put any rebar in my foundation walls
Comments (28)He repeated much of the same: the township approved the plans, he's built 200 houses in the last 15 years all with no rebar all with no issues, reminded me he gaurantees no water coming in to the basement for 10 years, that he used 3,000 psi concrete when the code only calls for 2,500, etc. Have you seen and talked to past clients who have used this builder to confirm what he's telling you? I would. I would also double check with a qualified home inspector or engineer of your choosing. My feeling is a few hundred dollars paid to an expert is worth the peace of mind. For example we just had a question on some of the ductwork on our HVAC system and we hired an independent HVAC inspector. Sure enough, they weren't quite happy with one of the duct runs and flagged it. It was corrected by the builder's HVAC company. Our home inspector noticed some bolts had not been tightened. It was fixed the next day....See MoreWhat should I put on my walls?
Comments (20)Working full time with 3 little ones tends to prolong my projects. we built the faux sofa table and found some art and lamps.

I was considering blowing up some pics of my kids for the other wall If i can find other art that coordinates. Because the two walls are perpendicular to each other, does the art need to be a similar size on the other wall? Thank you!...See MoreWhat should I put on the wall above and behind my sofa?
Comments (1)Measure your sofa length. A good width for artwork over a sofa is two/thirds the length of the sofa. Round up or down to the nearest standard size. Frame style is a personal preference. As for color, if you like coordinated things, pick art with some blue in it, like the sofa....See MoreForgot to put my mask on going into the post office yesterday!
Comments (27)I dashed into Walgreen's the other day to ask whether they had any rubbing alcohol (they did,) paid for it and suddenly realized I didn't have a mask on! I was so shocked and apologized profusely--the sweet clerk should have said something. Luckily there was no one in that area of the store and it was just in front of the door, but I sure was embarrassed. Let me make a correction from above: almost everyone wears their masks correctly in the Bay Area--we are used to it now. My kids wear masks on the trail because it is not wide enough to comfortable separate while passing. Raye, we didn't wear masks in those early months of Jan and Feb as there was little covid to spread at that time, except in NY. The lack of masks (mistaken protocol and very bad leadership and example from the top,) in March and April caused many more to sicken....See Moregustaruygers
