Concrete Garage Slab Help!
|
| |
Hi all, Just need some advice on vapour sheets as well as laying the sub-grade. Anyway it has been raining a lot here in Melbourne (Australia) and the dirt was like rock before all this rain.

Door Switches/ where buy ?
|

I have a hard wired, simple, Radio Shack alarm system. It uses small spring-button switches that go into the frame of a door jamb. You drill a hole about 3/4 of an inch or so, and install the switch in the hole. Radio Shack no longer makes alarm systems, and thus they don't sell the switches. Can anyone recommend a place to buy them please ?... more »

Cost benefits of "going green"
|
| |
"The Actual Costs of Owning a Home are the MONTHLY COSTS, NOT the Purchase Price Actual Costs = Monthly Costs + Hidden Costs It is a misconception that the more we reduce a building's environmental footprint, the more money we have to spend.
