Asbestos Ceiling tiles?

I am planning on removing my finished basement ceiling tiles. I bought the house 5 years ago and the ceiling is in good shape so I never decided to replace it but I plan on changing the lighting system and add insulation. How can I test if these tiles are asbestos? Name: IMG_20161014_175451.jpg

Hurricane Damage

Okay, well... it could've been much worse and this is sort of minor. I have a story & a half. Where the top story meets the half story has a leak but there's no visible exterior damage. Just during the storm water started pouring in from the celing and through the our light fixture. I don't know what's causing this leak.. I do know that the celing needs to be replaced and maybe the insulation? Definitely need to replace the light fixture... Is this something that would be difficult to DIY ... maybe with the help of YouTube? If not, is it expensive enough to file any insurance claim with a high deductible?Read More

Remove steel-framed wall corner

P

phipperdee on Oct 15, 2016

I am looking to remove a corner stud where two steel-framed walls meet, re-frame the corner (probably with two 135 degree corners) and re-drywall it. In the diagram with the 90 degree corner, I can only remove the stud that forms the corner; the other two must remain where they are. The second diagram shows what I'm imagining. I was wondering if anyone had ever done this and had tips on how to alter the track and how to frame this corner. Thanks so much. [ATTACH]71936[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]71937[/ATTACH]Read More
