Open Question: Where is a good place to start to be educated in construction/remodels? (Currently I buy/resel homes) ?I am 26, no kids, not married, although I have a solid companion who I have been with for many years. We have bought/sold and managed/remodeled several projects and learn more and more with every home. The homes we pick up are extremely thrashed. We get them at pretty good prices mainly because of the disasters they become. We're very good at budgeting/etc and always come out ok in the end, it just takes time to break even and begin to see a profit. So heres my problem: Usually on the past projects, i've hired 3 guys to do the dirty work of getting rid of filth/clutter (thats usually been brought in by homeless people) and then they prep and paint. The guys do ok, but they frequently need to be re-guided in the right direction, and I have to tell them what to do. Its embarassing because im telling them what to do and its kind of like the blind leading the blind. The work that we have them do is very general so we get by just fine, and then my fiance comes in and does all the finish work for a day or two by himself. Where can I learn some 'know how' about tools/step by step process guides to help better assist these projects?? My fiance happened to be there on the last home we did and he was saying how the guys need to prep way more for paint, and kept telling them (when they wanted to stop already and paint) that they had to keep cleaning and finish one job before they hit another. I am learning, but I want to really learn, and not look like just some idiot trying to bluff her way through (which is really what I am doing hehe ;) I want to know what im talking about, let them know what I need, how to do it, and look good doing it. My fiance doesnt have time, we are so busy with all of these projects going on. We're not losing any money on our projects, I just need some credibility and know how. HELP!!! ! ! ! =] Thanks =] Open Question: need ideas for furniture to save space for 4 teenage boys?I am currently living in a small two-bedroom town house. it was fine when I moved in and it was just me and my boyfriend, and a kid I adopted. but then my biological son moved in with me, my boyfriend and I broke up, I got custody of the first boy, I got a new fiance, who brought along his son. and my ex wife's adopted son recently ran into some trouble, and part of the solution seems to be, he lives with me. so now I have to somehow fit 4 boys comfortably into one bedroom. I was hoping though, that they could still get the most out of their room. so if I had two bunk beds, with drawers underneith and futon lower bunks, that made more out of it. but I would like suggestions on pieces of furniture that will help me make their room a lot more comfortable, and give each of the boys enough privacy and space. pictures are appreciated, even if I can't buy the item. I have a friend thats willing to help me out and build me some things at cost. we rent, and the room isn't very big. i'm actually hoping to find a way to cut down on furniture. like a twin over twin bunk bed w/ a trundle. and a futon. thats 4 beds.. idk. I need pieces of furniture that do more with less space Open Question: does anyone know what the appliance is called that hangs over the side of the bathtub and adds heated jets?Open Question: TML brand kitchen sink supplier?Open Question: Which sectional do you prefer?I need a sectional for our back sitting room.
