It was – and is still – a good decision. Renting your property out provides you with passive income. You can better feel the effects of this passive income if you have your finances in order./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Is Rental Income Purely Passive Income?/h2>p>In a sense, you had all the work done before you were able to invest in property. For those who had finished paying the property in cash, it is time to get some of your money back. However, remember that you are responsible for what happens in the property. It should continue serving as promised – as a haven with the necessary items to keep your tenants comfortable. You need to put in hard work, in terms of maintaining, renovating, and providing your tenants with appropriate furnishings and appliances. You are expected to keep your end of the bargain. So, rental income is mostly passive, but you need to work hard to ensure that your rental property is still serving its purpose./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Why Should You Renovate?/h2>p>You should renovate the property because of the following reasons:/p>ul>li>The property is becoming a health hazard and may pose some danger to your tenants./li>li>The property is depreciating because of uncontrolled decay./li>li>The renovation will improve the value of your property./li>/ul>h2 classwp-block-heading>What Are the Possible Renovations?/h2>figure classwp-block-image size-large>img loadinglazy decodingasync width1024 height690 srchttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/gimnasiodreams-furniture-1151175_1280-1024x690.jpg altKitchen Furniture classwp-image-37 srcsethttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/gimnasiodreams-furniture-1151175_1280-1024x690.jpg 1024w, http://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/gimnasiodreams-furniture-1151175_1280-300x202.jpg 300w, http://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/gimnasiodreams-furniture-1151175_1280-768x517.jpg 768w, http://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/gimnasiodreams-furniture-1151175_1280.jpg 1280w sizes(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px />figcaption>A rental property must have all the necessary items to keep the tenants comfortable/figcaption>/figure>p>Some parts of the property need to be renovated the most:/p>h3 classwp-block-heading>Kitchen/h3>p>The kitchen can feel a lot of the wear and tear in a house, especially if you are renting out to a family.

Follow these tips and keep your basement warm and dry all year round./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Find Out the Water Source/h2>p>Due to concrete’s porous nature, you might easily be able to find wet streaks along cracks, between the mortar joints (assuming you have concrete block walls), at the corners of the windows, and around the pipes (e.g., sewer pipes or a water supply line)./p>figure classwp-block-image size-large>img loadinglazy decodingasync width682 height1024 srchttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/basement-1031710_1280-682x1024.jpg altbasement classwp-image-51 srcsethttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/basement-1031710_1280-682x1024.jpg 682w, http://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/basement-1031710_1280-200x300.jpg 200w, http://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/basement-1031710_1280.jpg 853w sizes(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px />/figure>p>But if the whole surface of the wall is wet, you will have to do a condensation test. First dry any area of the wall using a rag and attach a piece of aluminum foil (one-foot square) to that area with duct tape. After 24 hours, peel off the aluminum foil and see how the bottom of the foil feels. If wet, water must be seeping through your basement wall from outside./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Use Hydraulic Cement to Fill Cracks/h2>p>Cracks are often found at the bottom of basement walls where the wall meets the footing. The footing of the foundation is poured first and then either a cement wall is poured on top once the footing hardens or a concrete block wall is laid on the footing. Because it is two separate pieces, leaks can happen at that joint between the wall and the footing./p>p>This construction method could create a weak spot – known as a cold joint – that you can fill with hydraulic cement. We are recommending hydraulic cement because it has the ability to push deep into the crack or crevice and form an effective watertight bond by expanding./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Keep Window Well Leaks in Mind/h2>p>Window wells are often the culprit behind a basement wall leak because they could retain water in case there is no drainage system installed underneath. If you think installing a proper window well drainage system is not possible, dig around two feet lower in the area and fill it with gravel so rainwater cannot stand in the area./p>p>Now get a caulk used on masonry and apply it around the window. You could also purchase a sloped window well cover and install it to keep rainwater at bay. /p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Apply Masonry Waterproof Coating to Bare Interior Basement Walls/h2>p>What if the foil test showed that the water was soaking through the basement walls? In such a scenario, you will need a quality waterproof paint to seal the walls. Roll or brush the paint on and keep it thick enough to fill the tiny surface holes. Then let it completely dry before you apply second coating./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Follow Other Procedures to Keep Your Basement Free from Water/h2>p>It is sometimes easy to tackle wet basements. A really important thing is to make sure that the ground is sloped to lead water away from the house. That may mean you need to do some grading, but that can be much cheaper than having to dig around your house to put a coating on the exterior of your basement walls. Also pay attention to the foundation plantings like flowerbeds and bushes that could allow water to seep in your basement. Also, repair downspouts and guttering to make sure they are effectively directing water away from your house. As you can see, waterproofing a basement is not supposed to be a costly procedure. You can go DIY with these tips and avoid hiring a professional to do the same for you./p>div classaddtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content addtoany_content_bottom>div classa2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list data-a2a-urlhttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/waterproofing-your-basement-best-diy-guide/ data-a2a-titleWaterproofing Your Basement – The Best DIY Guide>a classa2a_button_facebook hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurlhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimnasiodreams.com%2Fwaterproofing-your-basement-best-diy-guide%2F&linknameWaterproofing%20Your%20Basement%20%E2%80%93%20The%20Best%20DIY%20Guide titleFacebook relnofollow noopener target_blank>/a>a classa2a_button_twitter hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurlhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimnasiodreams.com%2Fwaterproofing-your-basement-best-diy-guide%2F&linknameWaterproofing%20Your%20Basement%20%E2%80%93%20The%20Best%20DIY%20Guide titleTwitter relnofollow noopener target_blank>/a>a classa2a_button_email hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurlhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimnasiodreams.com%2Fwaterproofing-your-basement-best-diy-guide%2F&linknameWaterproofing%20Your%20Basement%20%E2%80%93%20The%20Best%20DIY%20Guide titleEmail relnofollow noopener target_blank>/a>a classa2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/share>/a>/div>/div> /div>!-- .entry-content --> footer classentry-footer> span classcat-links>i classfa fa-folder-open aria-hiddentrue>/i>span classscreen-reader-text>Categories: /span>a hrefhttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/category/home-projects/ relcategory tag>Home Projects/a>/span> /footer>!-- .entry-footer -->/article>!-- #post-49 -->article idpost-21 classpost-21 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-renovation> header classentry-header> h2 classentry-title>a hrefhttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/when-do-i-need-a-new-roof/ relbookmark>When Do I Need a New Roof?/a>/h2>div classentry-meta>span classbyline>i classfa fa-user-circle aria-hiddentrue>/i>span classscreen-reader-text>Posted By: /span>span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/author/admin/>admin/a>/span>/span>span classposted-on>i classfa fa-calendar aria-hiddentrue>/i>span classscreen-reader-text>Posted On: /span>a hrefhttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/when-do-i-need-a-new-roof/ relbookmark>time classentry-date updated datetime2023-08-23T05:13:21+00:00>August 23, 2023/time>/a>/span>/div>!-- .entry-meta --> /header>!-- .entry-header --> div classentry-content> p>While the roof isessentially one of the most critical components of a house, it’s often the mostneglected one.

If the damage due to ineffective flashings is deemed to bestructural, you might need to consider replacing the roof.

We’ll try and provide some of the answers./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Know the local construction and expansion regulations/strong>/h2>p>As a first step, it’s important to know what you are allowed to do in relation to the remodeling or expansion of your house. Do you need a permit? What line considerations need to be made? Are there any restrictions on the number of stories or certain styles of architecture? Understand those laws and regulations, or better, consult a professional to know about them./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Arrive at a practical plan/strong>/h2>p>You must start withestablishing that the addition you are planning is an absolute must. Considerevery detail that can have an impact. For example, whether you’re going to livein the house while the construction is taking place? Are there older folks withlimited mobility or toddlers and small children who’ll access the space? Ifit’s a home office, are there going to be visitors? Et cetera. /p>p>Follow that by chalking out a practical design in consultation with an architect. A design that fits in with the architecture and décor of rest of your house./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Allocate a budget/strong>/h2>p>A study by a website shows that a home addition in the USA can range between $10,000 and $1,500,000. The average cost per addition, without considering the magnitude, is to the tune of $42,000./p>p>Work out the costs carefully and plan for where they will be sourced from. Consider all the hidden costs such as the architectural plans and designs, permit fees and design approval fees. /p>p>Double-check that your budget and design are in-line with each other./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Select a remodeling contractor/strong>/h2>p>Approach contractorswith good reputation for quotations to develop based on your design. As they’llall be bidding from identical set of inputs, you’ll be able to better gaugetheir experience, quality of workmanship and price. Evaluate the bids carefullyand finalize the remodeling contractor. /p>p>Keep the architect involved for consultation throughout the construction stage. /p>figure classwp-block-image>img loadinglazy decodingasync width1024 height768 srchttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/House-addition-1024x768.jpg alt classwp-image-16 srcsethttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/House-addition-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/House-addition-300x225.jpg 300w, http://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/House-addition-768x576.jpg 768w, http://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/House-addition-830x623.jpg 830w, http://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/House-addition-230x173.jpg 230w, http://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/House-addition.jpg 1280w sizes(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px />/figure>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Conclusion/strong>/h2>p>There are endless ways in which a home addition can be done.

Also, there are different places you should insulate. /p>p>If you use your attic for storage and have the floors covered in plywood, that is a problem. That is because the flooring limits the amount of insulation you can put in the attic. So you might need to take up the plywood and find someplace else for what you are storing./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Types of Insulation/strong>/h2>p>The two most common types of insulation are loose fill and batts, also known as blanket type. Most people are familiar with these two types but few are aware of radiant barrier foil insulation. This foil type insulation uses different properties than traditional insulation to provide insulation. /p>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Loose fill Insulation/strong>/h2>p>In some cases this is spread around by hand, but typically it is blown in with a machine. There are certain situations where it makes more sense to use this type:/p>ul>li>When there are areas that are hard to get to because of obstructions, etc./li>li>When the joists are not the standard width/li>li>When you are adding insulation on top of existing insulation because it will fill in any gaps/li>li>When there is little headroom to work in/li>/ul>p>Loose fill can be of three types, fiberglass, cellulose or mineral wool. Fiberglass is lighter but you need more of it. Cellulose is common but if it gets damp, it can rot. The mineral wool costs a bit more but has natural fire resistance since it is made from rock or slag fibers./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Batt Insulation/strong>/h2>p>You may remember seeing ads for this with the Pink Panther. The reason is that it comes in rolls 16″ or 24″ wide with pink fiberglass attached to paper and foil backing. In addition, it comes in different thicknesses which have different R values. An R value is a measure of insulation effectiveness./p>p>It is best to use this in the opposite situation of the blown-in loose insulation. In other words, when the joist spacing is standard, there is easy access to the attic space, and there is enough headroom./p>h2 classwp-block-heading> Radiant Barrier Solar Attic Foil /h2>p>Heat is transmitted by conduction, convection or radiation. Infrared radiation heats up the roof of your house. Then through convection and conduction the air in your attic heats up which then transmits the heat down into your house./p>p>Regular insulation works by having lots of little air pockets and reducing air movement so convection has less of an impact. But if it gets hot, it can still transmit heat by convection. So, what to do? You can take care of the problem by using a radiant foil barrier. It is basically a large sheet of aluminum foil with thousands of little holes in it so it won’t trap moisture. Aluminum reflects 97% of radiant heat. Only silver and gold foil reflect more at 98 and 99%./p>p>By putting the foil insulation on top of the other insulation most of the radiant heat reflects back into the attic. The top of the regular insulation is 20-30 degrees cooler that it would be without the foil. That means less heat transfers into the house and you don’t have to run the air conditioning nearly as often. /p>p>You can think about the difference on a hot day when the sun is out. If you stand in the sun, you can feel the radiant heat. If you stand in the shade, even though the temperature is the same, you feel cooler because you are only being heated by convection from the air and not radiant heat from the sun as well./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Wall Insulation/h2>p>If you are building a home or completely remodeling and have taken down the interior walls, you can staple batts of insulation in between the joists. Otherwise, you will have to blow in the insulation./p>p>If you have an older house, you might want to check to see if you have any insulation in the walls. Energy used to be so cheap that people didn’t bother with insulation. If you have to add insulation, it is not a fun project./p>p>You have to cut a circular hole near the ceiling and one near the floor. You need two holes because the pressure of blowing in the insulation could blow out the wallboard if you didn’t have a place for air to get out./p>p>The bad part is that you have to cut the two holes every 16 inches in the walls around the outside of your house on all floors. The reason is that the studs, which are every 16 inches, keep the insulation from going sideways, just up and down in that narrow area. Then you have to take the circles of wallboard and plaster them back in place and then repaint all the walls. Not a cheap process, but usually worth it for the extra insulation and lower heating bills./p>p>For more useful information, a hrefhttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/>click here/a>./p>div classaddtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content addtoany_content_bottom>div classa2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list data-a2a-urlhttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/issues-with-insulation/ data-a2a-titleIssues with Insulation>a classa2a_button_facebook hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurlhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimnasiodreams.com%2Fissues-with-insulation%2F&linknameIssues%20with%20Insulation titleFacebook relnofollow noopener target_blank>/a>a classa2a_button_twitter hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurlhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimnasiodreams.com%2Fissues-with-insulation%2F&linknameIssues%20with%20Insulation titleTwitter relnofollow noopener target_blank>/a>a classa2a_button_email hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurlhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimnasiodreams.com%2Fissues-with-insulation%2F&linknameIssues%20with%20Insulation titleEmail relnofollow noopener target_blank>/a>a classa2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/share>/a>/div>/div> /div>!-- .entry-content --> footer classentry-footer> span classcat-links>i classfa fa-folder-open aria-hiddentrue>/i>span classscreen-reader-text>Categories: /span>a hrefhttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/category/home-projects/ relcategory tag>Home Projects/a>/span> /footer>!-- .entry-footer -->/article>!-- #post-12 -->article idpost-1 classpost-1 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-home-projects category-renovation> header classentry-header> h2 classentry-title>a hrefhttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/hello-homeowners-purchasers/ relbookmark>Hello Homeowners and Purchasers!/a>/h2>div classentry-meta>span classbyline>i classfa fa-user-circle aria-hiddentrue>/i>span classscreen-reader-text>Posted By: /span>span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/author/admin/>admin/a>/span>/span>span classposted-on>i classfa fa-calendar aria-hiddentrue>/i>span classscreen-reader-text>Posted On: /span>a hrefhttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/hello-homeowners-purchasers/ relbookmark>time classentry-date updated datetime2020-02-07T06:20:54+00:00>February 7, 2020/time>/a>/span>/div>!-- .entry-meta --> /header>!-- .entry-header --> div classentry-content> p>The crane on top of the building is a bit over the top.

It was – and is still – a good decision. Renting your property out provides you with passive income. You can better feel the effects of this passive income if you have your finances in order./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Is Rental Income Purely Passive Income?/h2>p>In a sense, you had all the work done before you were able to invest in property. For those who had finished paying the property in cash, it is time to get some of your money back. However, remember that you are responsible for what happens in the property. It should continue serving as promised – as a haven with the necessary items to keep your tenants comfortable. You need to put in hard work, in terms of maintaining, renovating, and providing your tenants with appropriate furnishings and appliances. You are expected to keep your end of the bargain. So, rental income is mostly passive, but you need to work hard to ensure that your rental property is still serving its purpose./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Why Should You Renovate?/h2>p>You should renovate the property because of the following reasons:/p>ul>li>The property is becoming a health hazard and may pose some danger to your tenants./li>li>The property is depreciating because of uncontrolled decay./li>li>The renovation will improve the value of your property./li>/ul>h2 classwp-block-heading>What Are the Possible Renovations?/h2>figure classwp-block-image size-large>img loadinglazy decodingasync width1024 height690 srchttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/gimnasiodreams-furniture-1151175_1280-1024x690.jpg altKitchen Furniture classwp-image-37 srcsethttps://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/gimnasiodreams-furniture-1151175_1280-1024x690.jpg 1024w, https://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/gimnasiodreams-furniture-1151175_1280-300x202.jpg 300w, https://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/gimnasiodreams-furniture-1151175_1280-768x517.jpg 768w, https://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/gimnasiodreams-furniture-1151175_1280.jpg 1280w sizes(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px />figcaption>A rental property must have all the necessary items to keep the tenants comfortable/figcaption>/figure>p>Some parts of the property need to be renovated the most:/p>h3 classwp-block-heading>Kitchen/h3>p>The kitchen can feel a lot of the wear and tear in a house, especially if you are renting out to a family.

You may also make sure that this area is adequately ventilated if it is not yet./p>h4 classwp-block-heading>Add or Fix Appliances/h4>p>If your rental property is furnished, make sure you fix broken appliances. If you need to replace some of them, take advantage of used appliances stores. Do make sure that your contract explicitly indicates what must be done if your tenants were the ones who damaged the appliances. For some great used appliances in the Washington DC area, check out a hrefhttps://www.pgusedappliances.com/ target_blank relnoreferrer noopener>PG Used Appliances/a>.

Since you are here, this means you are probably having issues as well and now you are considering how to waterproof your basement walls./p>p>So, how would you go about the whole process? Follow these tips and keep your basement warm and dry all year round./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Find Out the Water Source/h2>p>Due to concrete’s porous nature, you might easily be able to find wet streaks along cracks, between the mortar joints (assuming you have concrete block walls), at the corners of the windows, and around the pipes (e.g., sewer pipes or a water supply line)./p>figure classwp-block-image size-large>img loadinglazy decodingasync width682 height1024 srchttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/basement-1031710_1280-682x1024.jpg altbasement classwp-image-51 srcsethttps://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/basement-1031710_1280-682x1024.jpg 682w, https://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/basement-1031710_1280-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gimnasiodreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/basement-1031710_1280.jpg 853w sizes(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px />/figure>p>But if the whole surface of the wall is wet, you will have to do a condensation test. First dry any area of the wall using a rag and attach a piece of aluminum foil (one-foot square) to that area with duct tape. After 24 hours, peel off the aluminum foil and see how the bottom of the foil feels. If wet, water must be seeping through your basement wall from outside./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Use Hydraulic Cement to Fill Cracks/h2>p>Cracks are often found at the bottom of basement walls where the wall meets the footing. The footing of the foundation is poured first and then either a cement wall is poured on top once the footing hardens or a concrete block wall is laid on the footing. Because it is two separate pieces, leaks can happen at that joint between the wall and the footing./p>p>This construction method could create a weak spot – known as a cold joint – that you can fill with hydraulic cement. We are recommending hydraulic cement because it has the ability to push deep into the crack or crevice and form an effective watertight bond by expanding./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Keep Window Well Leaks in Mind/h2>p>Window wells are often the culprit behind a basement wall leak because they could retain water in case there is no drainage system installed underneath. If you think installing a proper window well drainage system is not possible, dig around two feet lower in the area and fill it with gravel so rainwater cannot stand in the area./p>p>Now get a caulk used on masonry and apply it around the window. You could also purchase a sloped window well cover and install it to keep rainwater at bay. /p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Apply Masonry Waterproof Coating to Bare Interior Basement Walls/h2>p>What if the foil test showed that the water was soaking through the basement walls? In such a scenario, you will need a quality waterproof paint to seal the walls. Roll or brush the paint on and keep it thick enough to fill the tiny surface holes. Then let it completely dry before you apply second coating./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Follow Other Procedures to Keep Your Basement Free from Water/h2>p>It is sometimes easy to tackle wet basements. A really important thing is to make sure that the ground is sloped to lead water away from the house. That may mean you need to do some grading, but that can be much cheaper than having to dig around your house to put a coating on the exterior of your basement walls. Also pay attention to the foundation plantings like flowerbeds and bushes that could allow water to seep in your basement. Also, repair downspouts and guttering to make sure they are effectively directing water away from your house. As you can see, waterproofing a basement is not supposed to be a costly procedure. You can go DIY with these tips and avoid hiring a professional to do the same for you./p>div classaddtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content addtoany_content_bottom>div classa2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list data-a2a-urlhttps://www.gimnasiodreams.com/waterproofing-your-basement-best-diy-guide/ data-a2a-titleWaterproofing Your Basement – The Best DIY Guide>a classa2a_button_facebook hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurlhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimnasiodreams.com%2Fwaterproofing-your-basement-best-diy-guide%2F&linknameWaterproofing%20Your%20Basement%20%E2%80%93%20The%20Best%20DIY%20Guide titleFacebook relnofollow noopener target_blank>/a>a classa2a_button_twitter hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurlhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimnasiodreams.com%2Fwaterproofing-your-basement-best-diy-guide%2F&linknameWaterproofing%20Your%20Basement%20%E2%80%93%20The%20Best%20DIY%20Guide titleTwitter relnofollow noopener target_blank>/a>a classa2a_button_email hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurlhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimnasiodreams.com%2Fwaterproofing-your-basement-best-diy-guide%2F&linknameWaterproofing%20Your%20Basement%20%E2%80%93%20The%20Best%20DIY%20Guide titleEmail relnofollow noopener target_blank>/a>a classa2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/share>/a>/div>/div> /div>!-- .entry-content --> footer classentry-footer> span classcat-links>i classfa fa-folder-open aria-hiddentrue>/i>span classscreen-reader-text>Categories: /span>a hrefhttps://www.gimnasiodreams.com/category/home-projects/ relcategory tag>Home Projects/a>/span> /footer>!-- .entry-footer -->/article>!-- #post-49 -->article idpost-21 classpost-21 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-renovation> header classentry-header> h2 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://www.gimnasiodreams.com/when-do-i-need-a-new-roof/ relbookmark>When Do I Need a New Roof?/a>/h2>div classentry-meta>span classbyline>i classfa fa-user-circle aria-hiddentrue>/i>span classscreen-reader-text>Posted By: /span>span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://www.gimnasiodreams.com/author/admin/>admin/a>/span>/span>span classposted-on>i classfa fa-calendar aria-hiddentrue>/i>span classscreen-reader-text>Posted On: /span>a hrefhttps://www.gimnasiodreams.com/when-do-i-need-a-new-roof/ relbookmark>time classentry-date updated datetime2023-08-23T05:13:21+00:00>August 23, 2023/time>/a>/span>/div>!-- .entry-meta --> /header>!-- .entry-header --> div classentry-content> p>While the roof isessentially one of the most critical components of a house, it’s often the mostneglected one.

The use of cement or tarin a flashing is often not watertight. Even a good quality metal flashing canloosen over time. The flashings are areas worth assessing periodically fortheir effectiveness. If the damage due to ineffective flashings is deemed to bestructural, you might need to consider replacing the roof.

We’ll try and provide some of the answers./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Know the local construction and expansion regulations/strong>/h2>p>As a first step, it’s important to know what you are allowed to do in relation to the remodeling or expansion of your house. Do you need a permit? What line considerations need to be made? Are there any restrictions on the number of stories or certain styles of architecture? Understand those laws and regulations, or better, consult a professional to know about them./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Arrive at a practical plan/strong>/h2>p>You must start withestablishing that the addition you are planning is an absolute must. Considerevery detail that can have an impact. For example, whether you’re going to livein the house while the construction is taking place? Are there older folks withlimited mobility or toddlers and small children who’ll access the space? Ifit’s a home office, are there going to be visitors? Et cetera. /p>p>Follow that by chalking out a practical design in consultation with an architect. A design that fits in with the architecture and décor of rest of your house./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Allocate a budget/strong>/h2>p>A study by a website shows that a home addition in the USA can range between $10,000 and $1,500,000. The average cost per addition, without considering the magnitude, is to the tune of $42,000./p>p>Work out the costs carefully and plan for where they will be sourced from. Consider all the hidden costs such as the architectural plans and designs, permit fees and design approval fees. /p>p>Double-check that your budget and design are in-line with each other./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Select a remodeling contractor/strong>/h2>p>Approach contractorswith good reputation for quotations to develop based on your design.

This foil type insulation uses different properties than traditional insulation to provide insulation. /p>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Loose fill Insulation/strong>/h2>p>In some cases this is spread around by hand, but typically it is blown in with a machine. There are certain situations where it makes more sense to use this type:/p>ul>li>When there are areas that are hard to get to because of obstructions, etc./li>li>When the joists are not the standard width/li>li>When you are adding insulation on top of existing insulation because it will fill in any gaps/li>li>When there is little headroom to work in/li>/ul>p>Loose fill can be of three types, fiberglass, cellulose or mineral wool. Fiberglass is lighter but you need more of it. Cellulose is common but if it gets damp, it can rot. The mineral wool costs a bit more but has natural fire resistance since it is made from rock or slag fibers./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>strong>Batt Insulation/strong>/h2>p>You may remember seeing ads for this with the Pink Panther. The reason is that it comes in rolls 16″ or 24″ wide with pink fiberglass attached to paper and foil backing. In addition, it comes in different thicknesses which have different R values. An R value is a measure of insulation effectiveness./p>p>It is best to use this in the opposite situation of the blown-in loose insulation. In other words, when the joist spacing is standard, there is easy access to the attic space, and there is enough headroom./p>h2 classwp-block-heading> Radiant Barrier Solar Attic Foil /h2>p>Heat is transmitted by conduction, convection or radiation. Infrared radiation heats up the roof of your house. Then through convection and conduction the air in your attic heats up which then transmits the heat down into your house./p>p>Regular insulation works by having lots of little air pockets and reducing air movement so convection has less of an impact. But if it gets hot, it can still transmit heat by convection. So, what to do? You can take care of the problem by using a radiant foil barrier. It is basically a large sheet of aluminum foil with thousands of little holes in it so it won’t trap moisture. Aluminum reflects 97% of radiant heat. Only silver and gold foil reflect more at 98 and 99%./p>p>By putting the foil insulation on top of the other insulation most of the radiant heat reflects back into the attic. The top of the regular insulation is 20-30 degrees cooler that it would be without the foil. That means less heat transfers into the house and you don’t have to run the air conditioning nearly as often. /p>p>You can think about the difference on a hot day when the sun is out. If you stand in the sun, you can feel the radiant heat. If you stand in the shade, even though the temperature is the same, you feel cooler because you are only being heated by convection from the air and not radiant heat from the sun as well./p>h2 classwp-block-heading>Wall Insulation/h2>p>If you are building a home or completely remodeling and have taken down the interior walls, you can staple batts of insulation in between the joists. Otherwise, you will have to blow in the insulation./p>p>If you have an older house, you might want to check to see if you have any insulation in the walls. Energy used to be so cheap that people didn’t bother with insulation. If you have to add insulation, it is not a fun project./p>p>You have to cut a circular hole near the ceiling and one near the floor. You need two holes because the pressure of blowing in the insulation could blow out the wallboard if you didn’t have a place for air to get out./p>p>The bad part is that you have to cut the two holes every 16 inches in the walls around the outside of your house on all floors. The reason is that the studs, which are every 16 inches, keep the insulation from going sideways, just up and down in that narrow area. Then you have to take the circles of wallboard and plaster them back in place and then repaint all the walls. Not a cheap process, but usually worth it for the extra insulation and lower heating bills./p>p>For more useful information, a hrefhttp://www.gimnasiodreams.com/>click here/a>./p>div classaddtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content addtoany_content_bottom>div classa2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list data-a2a-urlhttps://www.gimnasiodreams.com/issues-with-insulation/ data-a2a-titleIssues with Insulation>a classa2a_button_facebook hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurlhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimnasiodreams.com%2Fissues-with-insulation%2F&linknameIssues%20with%20Insulation titleFacebook relnofollow noopener target_blank>/a>a classa2a_button_twitter hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurlhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimnasiodreams.com%2Fissues-with-insulation%2F&linknameIssues%20with%20Insulation titleTwitter relnofollow noopener target_blank>/a>a classa2a_button_email hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurlhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimnasiodreams.com%2Fissues-with-insulation%2F&linknameIssues%20with%20Insulation titleEmail relnofollow noopener target_blank>/a>a classa2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share hrefhttps://www.addtoany.com/share>/a>/div>/div> /div>!-- .entry-content --> footer classentry-footer> span classcat-links>i classfa fa-folder-open aria-hiddentrue>/i>span classscreen-reader-text>Categories: /span>a hrefhttps://www.gimnasiodreams.com/category/home-projects/ relcategory tag>Home Projects/a>/span> /footer>!-- .entry-footer -->/article>!-- #post-12 -->article idpost-1 classpost-1 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-home-projects category-renovation> header classentry-header> h2 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://www.gimnasiodreams.com/hello-homeowners-purchasers/ relbookmark>Hello Homeowners and Purchasers!/a>/h2>div classentry-meta>span classbyline>i classfa fa-user-circle aria-hiddentrue>/i>span classscreen-reader-text>Posted By: /span>span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://www.gimnasiodreams.com/author/admin/>admin/a>/span>/span>span classposted-on>i classfa fa-calendar aria-hiddentrue>/i>span classscreen-reader-text>Posted On: /span>a hrefhttps://www.gimnasiodreams.com/hello-homeowners-purchasers/ relbookmark>time classentry-date updated datetime2020-02-07T06:20:54+00:00>February 7, 2020/time>/a>/span>/div>!-- .entry-meta --> /header>!-- .entry-header --> div classentry-content> p>The crane on top of the building is a bit over the top.
