Light fixture inside knee-wall storage @Doresoom: If it were metal like the old-school ones, I'd go for it. But not the orange plastic. |

My deck dies in a funny pattern — does that mean this board is upside-down? Could be. That board is under the sloping part of the roof line, not the flat part (where there are gutters). I would not expect a lot of rain to run off this part. |

Deck handrail bracket @Tester101: The inspector said everything else is fine. I think this is more of a case of a contractor not wanting to finish the job than shoddy work from the start. We've been going back and forth with these guys for months, and are ready to move on. |

Which outlet box should I use for an unfinished basement? Thanks. This circuit I'm tapping into already has a GFCI receptacle on it. So I'm OK, right? |

Which outlet box should I use for an unfinished basement? Thanks, that's very informative. I had planned to use just regular romex non-metallic wire. I kind of like the look and feel of the metal boxes so I might go with that. Tangential question: when would one use armored wire like you describe? I have some of it in my basement but it seem like only on old stuff. |

What material should I use to insulate floor over a bumpout? +1 for the diagram alone. I think we've made it through this winter without it but I'll see in a few seasons. |
