Apr 23	comment	Is it OK to have a GFCI downstream of a standard circuit? My understanding is that GFCI's only protect downstream, not upstream.
Apr 23	answered	What are the drawbacks of putting down pavers for an alley without a sub-surface?
Apr 23	answered	How can I transition between these floors?
Apr 19	revised	Is the lack of a vapor barrier in the attic causing my mold issue? added 3 characters in body
Apr 18	comment	Will rubber pavers hold up against Wisconsin winters? Good point about shoveling...not just leaving marks, but I wonder if it's hard to shovel in general...would the rubber 'catch' the shovel blade more often? Can it stand up to 'chopping ice' tasks? Seems like the physical act of shoveling might be a bigger enemy to rubber pavers than the snow and ice.
Apr 18	comment	Will rubber pavers hold up against Wisconsin winters? Also, if safety is the main concern, I'd perhaps consider a more temporary solution for a few years...such as a pea gravel or wood bark path instead.
Apr 18	comment	Will rubber pavers hold up against Wisconsin winters? Kids live in a world of concrete. I don't know if I'd worry too much about one walkway. FYI, I used concrete pavers in MN and they survived many winters (that said, you don't want to salt concrete if you can avoid it.)
Apr 17	comment	What are these fixation claws called? What Steven said. This is likely a proprietary system. See if you can locate a product name/logo on any of the parts. (Looks like an interesting system, btw. Let us know if you figure out what it is!)
Apr 16	comment	How to remove construction adhesive from concrete? What is your ultimate end-goal with the floor?
Apr 14	comment	How much movement is normal after mounting a TV on partition wall? I've been told that metal studs aren't always directly attached to the top-plate and sole-plate (as they just let the sheetrock hold them up). That could contribute a bit to the 'elasticity'.
Apr 12	answered	Can my drywall act as an air barrier?
Apr 12	revised	Does cork flooring underlayment have to be glued down? added an addendum
Apr 12	comment	Does cork flooring underlayment have to be glued down? oh wait...I think I get it now...are you suggesting I tape the seams of the underlayment together? That makes sense! And you are right, not too much work.

Apr 12	comment	Does cork flooring underlayment have to be glued down? How would that happen with the floor on top? Think a few staples through the ends would suffice?

Apr 12	comment	Should I use steel or wood studs for basement exterior walls? @BradMace thanks for the links! Not sure why I didn't even mention Building Science Corp's work as that is the source I used (via Fine Home Building).
Apr 11	comment	Can I use engineered I joists as studs in a wall? Engineered joists are engineered to act as joists. Sounds like you need engineered studs instead.
Apr 10	comment	What protection is needed to access the crawlspace under the house? It really comes down to how 'icky' you think spiders, mice and rats are. ;)
Apr 10	comment	What alternate ways are there to get into a garage when you don't have the opener? Cut a whole in the side of the garage the same size as a door. Then, when you're done, stick a door in that hole.
