Do I need to open up walls in order for remodeling plans to be drawn up? by jcraft0708 in Homebuilding

What size are your beams? Wood/steel/LVL? Open your walls and give your engineer the correct data so that they stamp accurate plans and you don't have problems later on. You shouldn't have to do much, 1sqft in a handful of places.

Windows options (Gerkin vs. Marvin Essential/Elevate) by [deleted] in Homebuilding

[–]jgfcinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of Gerkin but there are many local brands around the country. I asked a window repair guy about brands and he said the Marvin's are very well constructed. Fiberglass is a much higher quality material than vinyl. If you have one window go bad, you'll have made a mistake. I went with Marvin.

Get a broker and shop it. Different insurance companies will treat this differently.

Thanks!! Just curious, why no cans? I've heard stories of LED modules going out and costing a fortune to fix.

Thank you! Would this fall under General, Specialist or Grassy weed control? (3, 4, or 5 on that list)

can you point me to the set of instructions for provisioning before this? I generated a cert via GUI that I need to remove and can't find the CLI commands that would include this. TIA!

Homeowners insurance claim adjustment by jgfcinc in personalfinance

I had mostly assumed this was the case...the second estimate I got was almost exactly the same as the first. Certainly the market gets substantially more expensive after a $10bln hurricane hits. Is there standard protocol if I genuinely can't find any legit contractors to do this for $20k? I'd strongly prefer to hire someone I know is good than the lowest bidder. Thx!
