Quote from @Bruce Woodruff:
It's generally not allowed any more to have posts buried in dirt. You should pour a spot footing, 6 inch stand-off, with a steel bucket for the wood post. I would still use PT lumber though....

What type of lumber are installed in column posts for backyard porch. Is 20 year ground contact lumber common? What other options for lumber are available that would last longer?

Quote from @Ko Kashiwagi:
Pressure treated wood with ground contact is seems common from what I've seen. If you can spend more, you could use composite lumber or engineered lumber which can be more resistant

Who is supposed to install the range hoods for the stove? Does the general contractor usually do this? Is a permit required? This is for a fix and flip in San Antonio, Texas

Hello, I am working on a remodel in San Antonio, TX, and was wondering is there a code/compliance policy on how far a window should be from a stove? We are trying not to have the window right behind the stove but maybe somewhat close to it
