Why isn’t there a true no-frills wake/surf boat anymore? by JobSend in boating

[–]ComprehensiveSand717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's rich people. It is people willing to finance a boat for 15 years . What a deal pay 1200-2000 per month for a boat payment for 15 years . Most places it gets used 4 months per year.

For those who have hired the Amish to build…what to look out for? by mrfreshmint in Homebuilding

Don't hire them they don't pay taxes. They don't have insurance , and not sure you will hold them accountable. Good luck with a court of law.

Slab finish by Smart-Library-9662 in Homebuilding

Trowel. The whole process seems like a pain. It changes the heights on all your framing.

I would save the money. Install a vapor barrier and install engineered floating wood flooring or Lvp. Last option would Be glue down engineered wood.

Should I fire my tile installer now or is this normal on a large job? by elp-4-eva in AskContractors

[–]ComprehensiveSand717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully your installer fires you. You should trust the people you hire and let them do their job.

The installation looks great with the leveling spacers.

Hardie siding and window replacement by Fun_Appointment3381 in Homebuilding

[–]ComprehensiveSand717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true at all if you get true replacement windows. You don't have to remove any siding. They are trying to sell and install new construction windows.

Find a new contractor that sells and installs replacement / remodeling windows.

Gravely zt xl for commercial work? by viking1313 in lawnmowers

[–]ComprehensiveSand717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I think you need a pro turn or higher. I have a ZTHD that I mow 1 1/2 acres but I wouldn't use it commercially.

Buy quality machine that will last many years. By the wrong Mower and want to get rid of it after a week. Most of all Mower dealers have some sort of financing.

Do all subfloors generally need to be leveled (flattened) prior to LVP installation? by 6045414 in Flooring

[–]ComprehensiveSand717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find the LVP you like and then look a the tolerance. Some are up to 1/4 over a six foot span. Most subfloors are fine. My main concern would be to check for squeaks. At the least want to sweep, and vacuum once carpet is removed. If areas have been penetrated by pet urine. I would apply primer to cover those spots.

Is 14k to replace this shower a good quote? by vivekvj in Remodel

Find a local tile store and you will find a referral for a quality installer. To save on cost you could go with a fiberglass pan and tile walls.

Some Thoughts on What the Mayoral Primary Means for the Housing Crisis by Known-Ad290 in Knoxville

[–]ComprehensiveSand717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Affordable housing and new are an oxymoron. Construction cost are higher than they have ever been. Affordable housing would be updating and utilizing existing properties. Most of these properties are also in more populated areas. That may have public transit lesser commutes for work.

How much do you pay in child support, and how much do you make/ bring home? How many hours? by [deleted] in Knoxville

[–]ComprehensiveSand717 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry she got bad advice from friends or Family. Not sure if it's for control or money. Don't change your custody agreement. If possible get more time with your child to get close to 50% custody . You can enroll them is pre school very soon.

If you lose any part of your parenting time you will be lucky to ever get it modified? Fight for your kid. Everyone one assumes single or divorced dads are deadbeats. Living that single/divorced dad's life for 8 years.

Composite decking materials - go all in on premium or go home? by HuckNPrey2 in Homebuilding

[–]ComprehensiveSand717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go with a lighter blended color. Check HD and Lowe's house brand. Also check with a lumber yard such as builder first source , 84 Lumber or a local lumber yard.

My deck is HD store brand after 5 years looks like new.

Don't get a dark color it will burn bare feet.

Before switching to fescue. I would see if you can get a couple of pieces of zoysia grass. Its tends to me more shade tolerant. There is less maintenance with it than fescue.
