In addition, my article on “Framing
Floating Basement Walls” answers a site visitor’s question on how to
frame basement walls in a region that has expansive clay soils.
If you live in an area that has expansive clay soil in it, it is imperative that
you build floating walls in the basement when finishing the basement.
When it
comes to installing ceramic tile floors, preparing the subfloor is critical. In
my article on “Installing
Ceramic Tile Backerboard on Subfloors", I answer a site visitor’s
question on when and how to install ceramic tile backerboard on subfloors.
Due to the
fact that we are still in the heart of winter I also thought it might be useful
to discuss Snow Roof Rakes and Ice Dam Removal. Snow left on your home’s roof
can potentially lead to ice dams and water damage to your home. See our articles
on “Snow
Roof Rakes” and “Ice
Damming” to learn how to protect your home from snow and ice damage.
Finally
I’ve added a couple of new videos to HomeAdditionPlus.com this month. One
involves addressing another typical new years resolution – getting in shape. In
my “Installing
a Chin Up Bar Video” I show you how to install a simple and low cost
chin up bar in your unfinished basement. In my second video I show how to “Install
a Carpet Stair Runner” on a wood stair case.
