How Do I Add a Window In a Load Bearing Wall?
I need assistance in removing a wall from my home. My house was built in 1964, and is in very good condition, with no asbestos. It is a load bearing wall between the dining and living rooms. It is about 15 feet long with only one outlet, nothing else is there but wall. I don't need the entire wall to come down, I just want to add a very large "window" that would open up the whole area. There is a kitchen/dining area on one side and a living/family room area on the other. The problem is the HUGE wall in between. I would like to be able to cook and look over at family in the living room. If I have someone come in to do the project, how much would I expect to pay?
What Kind of Prep Is Needed to Apply a Gel Stain to Previously Stained Wood?
I’m refinishing all of my exterior doors in my home. I stripped and sanded all the surfaces and applied a coat of oil based stain (not gel). I am not at all happy with the coverage and would like to re-do the surface with a gel stain. I have not applied any top coat. Do I need to do any additional sanding to the stain that I just applied before applying the gel stain, or can I just apply the gel on top of the new stain?
