Starting to get trendy around here. Now that the technology is getting better we're seeing a lot more of these homes. They just come in and pour the foundation, black plastic, pink foam insulation, set their tubing and all other plumbing rough ins, pour their concrete, stamp per their design, and then frame it up. I'm eager to get to do some hardwood in them. Some have tile, some have a combination of tile, carpet, hardwood, and even stamped concrete in some areas. These are mostly custom homes but I can see the spec home builders doing a few for a change in scenery.

This ought to be a no-brainer but it appears that everybody has gone waterbased. I'm trying to hang 4X8 sheets of melamine tileboard on 2X4 framing, no fasteners as it is to be used as a dry- erase board for conferences. First try was Liquid Nails Panel Adhesive - No Good. Took it back and bought LocTite brand construction adhesive, it worked better and then failed. It then dawned on me that the panel was absorbing the moisture in the sealant, causing the panel to expand and forcing the bond to fail. I was working the door panels first, so clamping was an option that worked. All of the remainder is in the field. I need something that is going to stick the first time and stay put.

I am wanting to have a new garage built and have questions about the concrete flooring and siding. Most use a slab floor, but I don't like it that well because the siding is so close to the ground that after a little while it seems like most of them start to rot and look like heck. Is having a stemwall that much more expensive so that it has some room to get it off the ground and also the 12 in. siding I was wondering about using something like 4 X 8 masonite panels. At least then if the bottom starts to swell and rot I can cut it off and patch in a new piece. Or is there a fairly simple way of removing the bottom row?

I am building a house in a remote village. The local workers built a 2-chanber septic tank in brick and concrete. I think I need to replace the brick wall separating the 2 chambers with one containing baffles. How does one make baffles in poured concrete?
