Looking to get a few quotes to have the kitchen redone at the ladies house. She lives in Roselle, anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

The time has finally come to work on my garage! It took us a while at the old house, but shortly before it was broken into which made us move out I had that garage pretty dialed in. When we moved in here back in 2019 there was already a gas...
I am seeing more and more DIY mini split heat pump talk these days with Mr. Cool and cheap amazon systems. These systems aren't without issues, but they are a fraction of the cost of name brand equipment.

So, right now i am getting quotes for a 6' wooden fence around my back yard. Question, would that raise property taxes, if so/not, how come? I live in unincorporated.
My back yard is a mess. Patchy, Weeds, Crabgrass, ect. Ideally Id level it out with top soil and reseed but that isn't in the cards.
Whats the most economical way to have a more full lawn. I'm thinking for next summer when my daughter will be...

I will start out with a story from...
Home Depot has a great sale going on right now, and since I have three kids that always eat everything… I want to get rid of my 17 cu ft side by side refrigerator that is original to the house and get something newer…
Any thoughts on what brand...
So, I had to do some work this winter for family and the garage was COOOOLD. So I bought a Mr heater propane 60k btu heater just to get it done. It works great but overall is pretty inefficient with a 20lb tank lasting 14hrs or so max if I have...
Finally after 10 years I’ve got the shit out of the garage. So lots of questions. First how are you guys sorting and storing towels?
Second how about nails and screws? I’ve got dozens and dozens of boxes.
What you doing and share pics if you would.
Just going to make my own thread for this as it started out as the great metal vs wood stud discussion .
Caught a wave of motivation and called a buddy over to get the framing started as I am going to treat this as a work project and try to...

Hello children, class is in session. Today we are going to learn how oversized our furnaces are!
Over the last 24hrs in the Chicagoland area, we've had what is called a design day.
What is a design day? On a 30 year average, the outdoor...
New house means naked walls, means it’s time to hang some pics. I personally don’t like art much but I love bright pictures. What do you have/like at your house?
Pics don’t really do justice to this one, 70x43” and bright AF
Been watching this chicks videos on her house since my wife used to watch her other content. She released a 1 year in review video. Kinda crazy her and her Bf are doing this shit all themselves and interesting to watch. All I gotta say is fuck...
Knocked out this mini split install today. This is a commercial shop for a pool/spa installer. The shop had an office, utility room, and bathroom. They closed it all in and made a mezzanine over the space. It had all previously been heated by the...

Kicking around the idea of finishing the basement this year . Will stud it out myself but wondered what you all have done with wood vs metal studs . Starting to watch videos and such on the matter , but wanted actual opinions of what you’ve done...
This will probably sound dumb for a lot of you guys, but how the hell do you even start on a bigger project like an addition? As we are working on my garage, we keep kind of coming back to the idea of expanding the existing garage. It seems...
