How to build a brick wall on the front of a CMU retaining wall? Are the 16x8x12 blocks "proper" retaining wall blocks? If you have sufficient drainage, you might not need to do anything else. Is the second row of bricks just because the larger ones are unattractive? |

Can I perform a large ceiling drywall repair myself? A lift is great if you're doing more than 3 or 4 pieces. I've tried using a deadman of my own construction and found that a friend on a ladder was more useful. If you're using the friend method the most useful thing you can have is a good screw chuck. |

What is drawback of smaller diameter recessed lights? @gregmac - You are correct, the size of the light shouldn't matter. However, if one size is commonly used (regionally), people may be put off by something that is different. I've seen people pass on a house because of the color of the rooms. Hello people, it's called paint! |
