Rolling on a New Garage Floor

August 14, 2020 by Kathy Ziprik

Lindsey Wiese knew exactly what she wanted to do with her garage after moving into her new Austin, Texas home.

The Kitchen Renovation Continues

August 30, 2011 by Chad Gillikin

One of my favorite tasks when renovating is the demolition process.  But for this project I took the role as observer and watched the contractors do their thing.  One thing I did envy was having several people to assist in carrying out the debris.  In my experience, I usually have to take my Milwaukee Sawzall […]

Laying Out Ceramic Tiles/Tiling a Sunroom with Porcelain Tile Update Number Two

April 21, 2010 by Chad Gillikin

Several factors affect tile layout. My suggestion is before installing the tile permanently, do a dry run. Lay out the tiles, dry(using no mortar) to see what works best for you. In large areas I usually use a focal point as my center, but if the focal point method causes me to have a small perimeter tile, […]
