My husband and I moved into my sister’s home to help her out for a year. We pay rent, and he has done quite a lot of work on the house, including the purchase of building materials, paint, etc… Is his labor and cost for materials, tax deductible…and if so, where could he claim this?

I am very capable but this home is very old. They are pre-dry wall. There are holes in the roof and leaks everywhere. I don’t need a contractor as much as I need clear instructions. I mean it is not raining in the living room, but I think they have neglected it too long. There may be structural damage. Especially to the roof. Most contractor’s only cover the roof and so far few actually repair the roof. I live in the Philadelphia metro area which includes New Jersey and Delaware.

My home is old and it needs a lot of work. However, I am on a fixed budget, and I need a contractor who can do anything from drywall, painting, yard work and plumbing, etc. To get a contractor to do work in the Washington, DC area is hard, because certain parts of DC has a lot of historical site laws which can place lot of restrictions on home owners and contractors. I need help before my old house becomes a serious problem.

My husband and I are about to buy a home soon and this home needs a little work and upgrades. We are looking for the best and cheapest place to get some new appliances and also home repair supplies. We heard about directbuy.com but then read really bad reviews everywhere about it. Does anyone know of a place that is good??

What is the best home repair manual?

Dont_Just_Look_At_It_Eat_It asked:


I am suddenly the man of the house and as such it usually comes to me to fix holes in drywall, clogged sinks, broken fans etc.

Usually I just go online and read through a few examples of how to handle these problems, but I was hoping someone could recommend a book that describes the general workings of a house, and how to make the best and longest lasting repairs (I like to get things done right the first time).

Thanks!

If so, what do you do about the toilet bolts/flange. Since the tile will raise the height of the existing floor what do you do to remedy that problem?
