Remodeling: Cobb county residentual permits and inspections

I purchased a home with an unfinished basement. It has framing/installation/some electrical and roughed in plumbing. So I spoke with an Licensed electrician about wiring it out to code ...»
and him pulling a permit. He advised me if he pulled the permit it would have to be for the full job not just electric so it would be better if I pulled an home owners inspection permit because I'm doing the basement in stages. I called and requested this and I was told it was 71.50 a sq ft and 4.50 per something else. Well I have 1200 Sqt so just adding that together that tells me that can't be right as that is about 85,000 bucks. I question why it would be so much to to finish my basement and was told thats the system and they hung up on me. I called back and got someone else and rephased the question still to get told they needed to know the full amount I was going to spend to finish the basement.

Anyone have any insight on this?

    Permits! UGH! But keep in mind that you do not just get a permit--you have to get it signed ...»
    off on, or you may run into trouble down the road trying to sell the house. And if you put in something that is not legal, i.e., a staircase to steep and not to code, that will haunt you! It is best to play by the rules. But you can use some reclaimed materials that can keep your cost down. You certainly do not want to put in extra fancy stuff and then not expect your assessment to go way up! TIP: For all DIY projects, know that we have "Habitat for the Humanities Resell" stores in the Atlanta area. Worth checking them out!

Remodeling: Any ideas on how to transform a large utility shed into a "cute house?

building a porch on it and painting the front door a pretty color, but? The porch idea would be the width of the building 12' and 4' out. I thought of columns but that is as far as I have gotten. Help please from you wonderful creative people. I will try and get a picture in a day or two.

Hi! I'm am in the process of refinishing Birch veneered kitchen cabinets. They were installed, brand new around 1972. The cabinets were shellacked over the existing hardware and have been ...»
a nightmare to clean and sand. I tried using Tung Oil to finish them, because my husband and I love the grain of the wood. But, it made them a not so pleasing, gold color (which was the color they were when I started) . Has anyone stained these types of cabinet doors with a darker stain, without them looking yellowy/gold? Thanks for any help!

Remodeling: What to do with load-bearing posts

I'm rehabbing this home and want to remove the posts between the DR and LR; problem is, these support the upstairs wall and the roof is supported on it, so it will be $2200 to get rid of the two posts to the right and leaving the one to the left, moving it over to the right about a foot. I can save $1000 by just having two posts- I would remove the middle and move the two end ones closer together. Any thoughts on type of decorative (remember has to be load bearing) posts, or taking a 6x6 and decorating it to function well? Thanks ahead-

    They actually used the existing posts, added different lengths of posts that were the same diameter, and made a contemporary open wood box floating shelving unit. It completely hid the fact that they were support posts, and acted more as a room divider. If you can set your DVR, or catch the episode, it may be worth a watch, and be a cheaper alternative, especially if you're rehabbing this home as an investment.
