Subfloor Replacement Options
Comments (1)There was a lot of stupid building in the late 60's - early 70's. your problem was some of the worst of it. The particle board layer you are referring to just needs to be replaced with real plywood or OSB & your good to go. You do not want to replace the bad particle board with more of the same. Do an entire room, not just a portion. I'd use subfloor adhesive (in addition to the screws / nails on the joists) to prevent squeaking....See MoreI want to replace carpeted stairs with hardwood Is that possible?
Comments (8)I have a friend who did their stairs with her DH. From what I hear, it sounded like they did it in stages because of the finish they used. I have seen the treads at HD, Lowe's and a flooring store. We also considered doing a similar treatment in my sister's marital home which she is selling post-divorce. We were told the going rate for replacing risers, treads, painting and staining plus staining the handrail to match was $200-250 per step. DIY cost varies with the type of materials used, but I would think less than half of that would cover most....See MoreBacksplash or other option for budget bathroom reno?
Comments (2)Well, I would forgo the white and have a cohesive bathroom that includes almond... It will look better than trying to "ignore" it... I happen to like almond in the bathroom and am hoping it becomes popular again...you can do gray with it, but it's not so easy. You need a warm gray paint. I like this mirror for inspiration.. Here's a pretty shower curtain with beige and gray......See MoreIf IKEA were not an option, what would you choose for the same budget?
Comments (11)depends on FUNCTION of the cabinets. If you want rollouts in base cabinets that you insert yourself...vs. drawers w glides supplied....can you substitute some wire shelving for wall cabinets to get those base drawers?? What part of home in terms of insulated walls/subgrade or upstairs..a lot of traffic/dogs/kids/dumping off things so wear and tear is at play? or not. I'd probably get Kraft Maid or whatever is the current thing competitive with that.....in oak in a basic cabinet w simple raised or recessed style....light or medium stain....if not that, then thermofoil. For about $1400., in the space you have, I would get them new, basic, not requiring you pick up from somewhere and cut them up/alter them/etc. FUNCTION first within your budget....and shop to see what you can get to meet that. Put up a graphic sketch of sizes/types of cabinets you want and take it in to Lowes/menards/whatever, and let them price it....See Morejessicalacey
