New to DIY

Welcome aboard Mudlady ! Congrats! You've come to the right place.

You don't need the thorn in your side and the new wife (she's just jealous) :thumbup:anyway.

All the advice you and your daughter could possibly ever want is all right here at your fingertips. Plus you get to be independent:yes: and do it all for yourself.
No better feeling.

For any demo you need ..imagine the harlot and sledge away!! Very theraputic:laughing:

See.... its as good as done ! Its all in the attitude (and the biceps lol)

About your basement..when you are ready to start. Ask your questions and think about snapping a few pictures to keep Joe happy. He will ask anyway so you may as well come prepared

pics of the outside where you suspect the wall is being breached.
