Hi- I bought a foreclosure... baseboard pipes frozen so all needs to be replaced. I just want to replace the pipes/fins and not the shell...( the shell-covers are all good shape.). Can I just buy that part and then use the Pex piping?  Sounds like that would be easiest and less cost. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Greatly appreciated.  Question  for Steve....Glue down vinyl planks sounds like thats my best bet.  Would you recommend a brand and thickness?  This will be rented to College students- so they will be spilling Beer and whatever.  Thanks

I own a rental with 4 rooms and hallway in the basement. The 4 rooms had carpet glued down and the hallway was 20 yr old black tile.  I ripped it all up and I'm debating what to do. I will be renting to College students.  I have come up with using an Epoxy for the following reasons.  Easy to clean- (beer spillage and whatever)- very durable-won't have to change carpet every 2 -4 yrs….plus they always want there own carpet over the existing carpet(why? who knows).Has anyone used this and what is your recommendation ? Also, the glue on the floor is like a cream color and i need to get a stripper to dissolve?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I am looking to set up a partnership where I am the sole financier and the other party would manage the project such as a GC.  What would be a fair percentage for this type of partnership?  

Looking to use Epoxy on basement floor. Its a hallway and 3 bedrooms. There was a water issue but it is resolved( i hope).  Anyone have experience with this?  This is student housing and i hear its the new thing to do( and less expensive).  

Thanks

Need to install a 30 X 30 Shower Stall - in a room with slated ceiling ( roof ) Also must be a kit - cant get single unit up stairs (narrow doorway).. . So 1 side wall is fine for height- the other will be cut 4 or 5 inches as well as the back portion of that side.( if that makes sense).  I was at Home Depot and saw Aquatic- they make a base and 3 sides....???  Has anyone used this or would you recommend a different brand?   

As always 

Thanks
