Years ago, I had considered replacing my tank water heater with on-demand type. Hearing the issues with water calcifying in copper tubing was great information to have. I like to research lots before deciding. Because of emergency situation (isn't that usually the case), I had my brother's replace it with another tank.

We designed and built a boiler for our house in 1984. We used hot water heater elements and standard plumbing nipples, so it cost almost nothing. THe circulation pump in 1/5th hp. We designed a thermostat system, but it took 8 hours to heat the slab and 3 days for it to cool down, so we manually regulate.

We call them drip groove’s. It stops the capillary hydrostatic action of water travel. Shit I had to pull out my old tech books to look that explanation up. Wise words from an old contractor my father were “ Always expect the unexpected when doing a renovation” that’s what will govern the time it takes, the cost and the finished product. Always good to leave a good amount of contingency to allow for the unforeseen when doing a renovation, because it’s not the contractor doing the work, it’s the task needed to be done on the renovation which tells the contractor what’s involved in having it done. Eye opening experience for me in the building methods used in the States compared to Australia. Especially the flow and return hot water system for your under floor heating. Keep up the good work guys.

Remodeling is fun. When I was doing it in Stillwater we never knew what we would find, from trying to run a wire in what turned out to be the original log cabin to plumbing in stacked wood walls. then there were the some very sketch wiring, to original gas light runs that were just caped off and still live., Cross the river in Wisc. I had a farmer ask me to look at the barn. he had sparks when it rained. Turned out an out let was wired with barbed wire. Learned to never bid and only work per hour.

When we moved into the house my Dad bought in 1960 it was 100 years old and still had gas lighting copper lines on the second floor with no sealed caps on the light outlets. Just pushed on caps. The line was still live so one of the first things my Dad did was go down in the basement and cap off that line after he had the gas company cone out and turn off the gas as he didn't trust the gas inlet valve which he also replaced as it was original not code allowed. He even removed all pipe as far as he could going up stairs including the line that fed to 1st floor. The house even still had double push button light switches upstairs and cloth wrapped wiring. The garage was originally a carriage house with a hay loft around all 4 sides still in it which became excellent storage on 3 sides and a Pigeon coop on the front. We were remodeling that house a room at a time until my teens. I was 6 when we moved in. Try cutting 100 year old old growth oak. We went thru saw blades like you wouldn't believe.

I can believe it. Saw an old log cabin made of oak defeat a construction company's attempt to destroy it. They finally found someone who understood wood who told them it would have to be sawn apart peg by peg. The company gave it to the city for the city's pioneer park it had been one of the1st settlers cabin well over 100 years old.

Sorry, at the beginning I thought that you were building something decent, but now I'm shocked what kind of inferior hollow barracks it turned out to be, I wouldn't even build something like that as a dog house for my dog and my dog is happy with just a little !!! I live in the Caribbean and it is well known that you cannot and do not want to build properly here everything is just crooked and out of the angle !!! But at least they build with concrete blocks and with me they even have to build straight walls otherwise I'll tear everything down and won't pay anything for bad work!!! At the end I stick insulation on the outside of the walls and also on the concrete roof but not styrofoam but foam glass because that is incombustible !!! Sorry but your construction is clumsy and just makes you want to puke I'm sorry that I have to say it to you like that !!! Sorry am Anfang habe ich gedacht dass du etwas anständiges baust, doch jetzt bin ich erschrocken was das für eine minderwärtige Holbaracke wurde, so etwas würde ich nicht einmal als Hundshaus meinem Hund bauen und mein Hund ist schon mit wenig zufrieden !!! Ich lebe in der Karibik und dass sie hier nicht anständig bauen können und auch gar nicht wollen ist bekannt alles ist einfach krumm und aus dem Winkel !!! Doch mindestens bauen sie mit betonblocksteinen und bei mir müssen sie sogar gerade mauern sonst reisse ich ihnen alles wider ein und bezahle nichts für schlechte Arbeit !!! Am Schluss klebe ich eine Isolation aussen auf die Mauern und auch auf das Betondach aber nicht Styropor sondern Schaumglas denn das ist unbrennbar !!! Sorry aber deine Konstruktion ist stümperhaft und einfach zum kotzen es tut mir leid dass ich dir das so sagen muss !!!

Yeah the best laid plans of mice and men... remodels can get away from you with material delays, change orders, workers getting sick, waiting on subs, and surprises during demo. That's why hard finish dates and rushed jobs balloon the cost (unless you have a warehouse to line up all materials , line up subs, and nail down the scope of work before the start date).

Some things are still hard to get and some contractors do take longer to get started due to weather and getting held up on other jobs.

Not hiring additional labor is the only real way we can quantify my savings.
