In a no-heat situation -- could use some advice (repair/replace)
Comments (35)Yep -- that ghost is gone. Reason why: I am out at least $1500 for the motors if I do try to repair it, and if it really does need a new board, tack on $1000. Plus, I need heat, like, now. Going to be down in the 30's tomorrow night, and spending another 2 days seeing if that will fix it will cause "marital strife"....See MoreBuying a foreclosure with some repairs ...
Comments (2)Well a leaky bath could mean mold/rot inside the walls, under sub-floor as well so hard to know how extensive that would be as far as cost to fix would be. Unknown until you open it up. Mold on the wall could mean it was condensation on the outside wall due to low air circulation and high humidity or it could mean there are pipes leaking in that wall, or could be that something has been leaking for a while into the wall from above such as a roof or a bathroom above. No way to know without opening the wall up a little to have a peek. My best advice would be for you to count on worst case scenarios to fix these items and then see if you still rather have this house vs. another that doesn't have these issues. You might get lucky and it is something simple and cost you less in the end, but for deciding I would assume worst case. If you can DIY you will save money and just need to figure cost of materials (although I recommend an experienced roofer for the flashing parts). Also you need to figure in that you will living in a state of chaos for a while until you have repaired fixed these as the time to fix will always take longer than you think and you will want some of your spare time to spend on regular hobbies and just relaxing and not just work on the house as well. Good luck with whatever you decide....See MorePlease Look at These Draperies I had made I need some Help!
Comments (21)Pricing's all over the board, so I can't tell you what they should cost if someone else makes them. Some will charge more or less than me. In a previous post, I guesstimated (and it is a guess without knowing all the specifics), I said I would charge aprox. $3,000 for labor and linings. Add to that probably around another $1,000 for fabric, so maybe around $4,000 (plus tax where I live). So, the $1,475 really is cheap for this and the reason they look the way they look. You've gotten a lot of tips thru all these posts telling you how they show have been made. I don't think there's any mills left in the US that make fabric, however, you would have been better to use someone here to make them. But as in my guesstimate, you would have paid a lot more....See MoreNeed some help finding a matching floral fabric
Comments (2)I had the same problem - my solution was to find a fabric in a different but complimentary color pattern and utilize really pretty trimwork to go around the ottoman. Had a pillow made in the new ottoman fabric to put on the chair. It looks great! There are so many beautiful trimworks made now, you will have fun picking out some that will compliment. Have fun!
