CBin Va.Beach — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 06:13:16 GMT

if all is sound & was laid properly you can thinset & tile over the top of the existing floor.. I do prefer to remove all existing floor levels but know severaal that won't if asked not too.. the right thin-set, mastic, & smaller tile will aid in that, but can't guarantee a "foundation" unless you have laid it!

Hope the project works in all's favor.. Good luck

RE: Please share where to buy a free-standing electric oven or cooker not gas? by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 06:04:39 GMT

Try a site that may be local in Va. only, but they would be able to point you in your desired direction.. Cashwell appliance parts is their name.. Google them though because I don't have their web address handy. I get appliance parts from them for a fraction of what other retailers charge.. good luck

RE: How many tons would 36 square of roof shinges weigh by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 06:00:47 GMT

approx 8640lbs.. so just over 4 tons..

but it also depends on the type of shingle..

some of the 30+(40) year architect shingles are way thicker..

A bundle of standard shingles is approx 80pounds.

the thicker architect style is 4 bundles to a sq v/s standard 3

then add for cap shingles & hips if any for a closer guess

Those allow for sewer gas to vent out & to enable consistent drain flow from each location without causing "vacuum" effects on other drain locations

RE: Need to know Mixing brands: gas cooktop over electric wall oven? by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 00:53:23 GMT

Nice response prior.. yes wolf is nice but indeed pricey..

the reason the manufacturers are telling you not to mix is they each want you buying their products solely..lol If it is indeed in sound shape go ahead & use that! it should be separate from the oven anyway from your description, I have helped a few customers do partial remodels to help save on budget as well..

Good luck with your kitchen

CBin Va.Beach — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:43:59 GMT

Call your local city licensing office & state to see if they are licensed there..

Is a violation to preform business in this manor& may keep them renewing it.

How did you find or hear of them? Post a public complaint there.. This will show up whether searching by name or phone #.. Good luck & sorry you had to deal with that situation.. Guys doing that make it hard on the rest of us!

Depending on your budget, there are alot of options w/a variety of surround sets.. I shopped my components separately on Amazon & got some pretty good deals.. I should have spent a few more dollars on a better speaker selection, but still the way to go for movies & such!! Amazon is great because it price shops its own selections & posts reviews on products!

RE: What kind of home defense is allowed in NY for protetion against armed intruders? by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 15:02:12 GMT

Wow!! I say keep a loaded firearm w/ clip out & easily removable (by user) lock.. (preventing accidents) which most laws are enacted for.. If an "armed" intruder breaks in.. you are ready.. I would not recommend using it on an unarmed intruder, that causes problems , even in YOUR own home! Panic sirens are popular in more populated areas & annoy but don't harm any1..

RE: Are green homes expensive? by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Tue, 31 May 2011 18:39:59 GMT

"Going Green" is more expensive up front! However the peace of mind & future savings down the road can offset alot of that.. Solar being added is a no brainer for the immediate power savings, but add panels accordingly.. Too few will produce little results, where too many can overload inverter/ control switch. There are even recycling systems that can be added to washer drains& pumped into toilets for reuse..

It all depends on the type/ extent that you go to..

Good luck w/ it!

RE: Cleaning limescale from granite worktop by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Tue, 31 May 2011 18:29:51 GMT

Good luck w/ it..

RE: What is the brightest designation for fluorescent bulbs by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 16:44:16 GMT

Hell there.. I'm not sure i get your question..

The ceiling is usually the best place to mount a fluorescent light..

Lighting is measured in "lumen s" florescent bulbs usually take a couple of minutes to "warm up".. They can be as bright as incandescent bulbs. Depending on the type of fixture & wattage of bulb though It may take more than one to light your desired space.. Also, mostly on older style lighting, it can take a couple of days for the bulb to "burn in" especially if its in a colder space..

RE: Partical power outage by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 16:33:33 GMT

sorry I had missed latter part of your issue.. They didn't check your meter properly.. I'd bet on it.. I have actually encountered this issue several times in the past.. One was on a commercial building, so I know that it happens.. Whether they want to admit it or not..

RE: Partical power outage by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 16:28:21 GMT

check your power meter & make sure its tight in the socket.. Dont open it.. just go out & push on the glass.. I have seen them come loose before.. this usually fixes it.. I would also put in a service call w/ the electrical company that you use.. let them check the transformer supplying your home as well as your meter base.. they should be able to tell relatively quickly if there is an issue

RE: After reading an email I don't want it to go to old mail. How do I do that? by CBin Va.Beach

I have had a couple of friends w/ the same problem on Yahoo.. Usually resetting your password is all it takes.. report it to aol also.. its an indication that someone has "hacked" your account.. It sends spam to all on your contact list.. (theirs was for some Canadian pharmaceutical co peddling Viagra..)

CBin Va.Beach — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 15:44:57 GMT

Yes.. batteries is usually the answer.. The cheesy rechargeable that come standard in these don't hold up to harsh temperatures causing them to fail.. Occasionally the solar panel gives out to weather & stops charging.. but it is usually the battery..

RE: When do you remove the painters tape? While the paint is still wet or after it dries completely? by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 23:01:49 GMT

Hello Carolyn.. It is best to let paint dry to the touch before removal of the painters tape, otherwise it may smear into paint..

Good luck w/ your project..

Mine was a driver issue that I still haven't fixed 100%..(I'm missing browser features now..) but can login like I used to.. Microsoft recommended that I reload all my drivers to correct that.. I'm getting a backup system first & am going to reformat my drive, so it will run fresh afterwards..

I hope this helped.. Good luck!

RE: Do I need to get a business license if I'm offering tutoring in my home? by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 16:00:22 GMT

Technically yes.. If someone does a check on you & finds out, they may report you.. Now if its a part time thing you offer as a side gig, that would differ.. Most cities have were a simple business license is not that much.. Depending on your level of education that you teach, some states may require a degree as such, but not many do.. Good luck!

RE: How efficient are wind turbines in generating ... by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 19:35:13 GMT

hello there..

You may have gotten the info you needed prior to this reply, but Ive done a bit of research on solar & wind recently.. usually there will be a voltage regulator (sometimes included w/ a power inverter) which limits the output from exceeding its maximum output. The wind systems were popular around here years back when there was a federal tax credit on energy producing/ saving means being installed for homes.. After the credits went away I was informed the installation cost was such it usually outweighed the savings recouped over its use.. There are alot more options & methods of products, especially w/ solar energy becoming more popular.. I've seen systems offered now w/ options of using both!

I hope this helps good luck w/ your descision..

CBin Va.Beach — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 04:20:34 GMT

I cant really say yes or no, because wallpaper is definitely an owner preference.. It has become less used today as in past years due to the hassle of removal. What ever you use you want brighter colors up top.. Ceiling white helps too..It sounds like you want to brighten the area up.. That should help!!

I hope this helps you w/ your project.. Chris

RE: How to fix sewer system on regal boat? by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 19:13:18 GMT

This is best answered by some1 who specializes in boat repairs.. but sometimes can be as simple as flushing the system clear w/ water & a vacuum. (may have to remove panels to locate a cleanout point)

good luck

RE: Do you need to be certified to clean fire damage? by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 19:09:38 GMT

Depends on code restrictions for your area & extent of damage.. If its your own families property you can do as you wish.. I just recommend consulting an experienced person in this field to examine/ inspect the level of damage, & get their recommendations for cleaning, sealing, replacing affected areas.

Smoke is very penetrating & very difficult to remove smell from alot of surfaces. Especially if chemicals (melted plumbing, appliances, etc.) were involved. Sealing w/ a Zinser/ Kilz oil/ammonia based primer may not be enough to seal away caustic odors alone..

Good luck.. Chris from Va. Beach

RE: Slate Tiles - A Unique Flooring Installation? by CBin Va.Beach

CBin Va.Beach — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 05:51:39 GMT

Yes ... It is unique...

Slate is hard to cut & is also uneven by nature...

It is in "layers" of sorts so it's almost lke dealing w/ stacked rows of Slate.

Lay them in a pattern & try to eliminate cuts! God luck! C. fom Va. B.

Normally this is a local zoning permit issue,,

If you already own the land.. then mearly ask local city/ county

of ordinances regarding this topic..

Then ask for an address & call it home!! Good luck!!
