I was planning to build some years ago but couldn't get an answer to this question. I was hoping to build a pole barn style structure at the time! My thinking was that in a pole barn It would have been more effective to pour the floor before (especially now in NC) to prevent termite damage later on. Thank you for your answers.

We have, quite by accident, grown a lovely hybrid rose in our garden by planting 2 different roses in the same plot. Can we profit from this new rose?

Our house has light blue/gray siding, and white trim around all the windows/doors, with a black roof. HOWEVER- there is brick edging on either side of the garage door and this brick is yellow/orange, kind of like a light coloured tabby cat. What colour would be best for painting the garage door? Should it match the house, the brick, the roof? How do you find something that matches with light blue and orange??

My house is about 1300 square feet. It is kind of small, but we are a family of three. My house needs MAJOR work. It has a "soft floor" on the kitchen and some of the external wall covering is dry rotted. I thought about gutting the whole thing, raising the roof over the kitchen, exspanding half of the west wall to add an additonal 3 feet to the bathroom and my bedroom, replacing all of the plumbing, wiring, and doors, installing vinal siding, fixing a leaking wall on the North side of the house, and installing an exhaust fan in the attack. I know that is a lot of work, but I am thinking that just buying a whole different house is the way to go here. What do you think?

I am (with much trepidation) co-ordinating my own bathroom renovation. I will be using skilled tradesmen but I just need some tips on how to get everything scheduled so it goes smoothly.

I need a list of items I will need to consider, preparing the budget, tasks to tick off, when to start which item.

I have the style and materials picked out, just need to get the project management under control.
