We think that spray foam insulation would be Lloyd’s best option that needs no ventilation. - HVAC: Converting a three-unit building from oil heat to electric baseboard heat would cost Amber a fortune! We suggest separating the zones for each unit instead. - Adding Bathroom: Phillip wants to install a half bathroom in the basement. He can either install a lift pump to run the plumbing through the ceiling or jackhammer through the cement floor. - Kitchen Function: Steam from the coffee maker is fading the finish on the upper cabinets. Without extra counter space, Susan will just have to pull the appliance forward while using it.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question? We’d love to help!
