I get questions from all over the country, and in fact all over the world. I want to talk to you.

I answer your questions right here, like these…
- George asks… “I have a one-acre lot that is full of weeds. I need to clean the land and plant grass. What should I do first?”
- Kenny wants to know… “I have a rotten Rim Joist beam framing studs sheathing on one side of my roof under the gutter. I’ve had contractors come out and quote me between $3,200 and $4,000 in materials and $10,000 in labor.
What is a responsible price that I should pay for this type of work?”
- Haley has this question. “I need to make an outdoor space to put about 30 backpacks, but I don’t know how to make it or what to buy?”
- Here’s a question from Toby. “I’d like to know how to cover a glass vanity top with something black from the inside so that I can’t see through. What material would you use to do this?”
Let’s answer more of your questions…
- Let’s dig into another question; this one from Tom. “Does it matter what type of wood I use for a fence gate? I’m just going to paint it after I install it. Can I just use Douglas Fir?”
- I’m really excited because we have a question from Merle. I live in a pre-war rental. I’m looking for an easy way to install air diverter so air would blow off to the side.
- Mark sent me a question. This is a pretty tricky one. This is filled with a lot of loops… “During an excavation of my foundation, I discovered it was pushed inward in two locations; splitting the studs and pushing it past the top plate by about 2 to 3 inches. What should we do?”
- Okay, we have a question here from Alex. “I’m putting laminate flooring over high-ply carpet. What type of underlayment do I need?”
Thanks for sending me that question to AskTheContractors.com.
