I have looked everywhere for concrete labor and I can't find anywhere where they are willing to hire entry level. I have never done concrete, but am hoping to see how it goes and learn the trade and maybe one day IF I like the business make my own company. Problem is that nobody wants an entry level worker in this type of work. How do I get my "feet wet" in this field???

This question is for my research paper. I need to know what jobs women are not allowed to pursue such as being in the front-line in war. Same goes for men, what jobs are they not allowed? Note: this question pertains to jobs in America meaning please do not give me a job in a different country other than America

We have 2 smaller basement windows (about 31 w. x 36 h.)that are aluminum and in poor condition. We want to install new vinyl windows but are unsure how to measure precisely to order new ones and unsure how to install them. The current windows appear to have their "flanges" installed into the concrete foundation itself. We don't want to change the size since there is another larger egress window already in the basement. Neither of our handy-men were able to suggest solutions other than "they don't do windows" Any information would be a help. Do we measure from concrete opening size or glass size? Thanks

The house was built in 1900 I don't know how old the steps are. They were fine when I bought the house in 2001. A couple years ago as part of an overall exterior face-lift / paint job I painted them red with Sherwin Williams outdoor deck paint dark red. Now they are seriously crumbling especially the bottom of the three steps. No side rails or anything just concrete steps but rather wide. Should I Repair them? How? Replace? With what? Want it to look nice last and not cost a whole lot. Thanks in advance anyone with advice. I should add that I would prefer a professional take care of this not DYI!

We are in the exploring stage of this project up at our cabin in Hayward, Wisconsin. Soil is all sand. Cabin is high above the water line at the top of a hillside. Most of one wall of the basement that faces the drop side of the hill will be framed and above grade with a walkout patio door. Basement will be finished with radiant heat in the slab... The plan is 2 bedrooms and full bath. Right now the cabin needs leveling every few years because it is just sitting on the ground on pads. The foundation under the above grade wall would have to be concrete correct? At some point on the sides a transition to block would be possible and brought around the whole back wall. Or just do the whole foundation in concrete but then cost is an issue is it not? After everything is set and before backfilling I can only assume there is some sort of product and/or membrane that should be applied. Just from a professional opinion or if you've been there before from a cost perspective which is the better way to go?

Well here's the lowdown. we bought our house about 4 yrs ago and have been fixing it up and we finally got around to the side that has a concrete block chimney that is attached to the furnace..it looks like a hack job..now this house is pretty old so it may just be age....but i'm not a mason so i could be wrong. we just want to patch it up for now and then later my wife wants to have a mason come over and make it look like an actual chimney so it's asthetically pleasing. well i took 11/12 pics so you can see what i'm talking about. Here's my list of things: 1. it doesn't look straight 2. you can see it leaning away from house and a huge gap is evident 3. trim was placed in between the shingles and the chimney..is that normal?? is there something else that can be placed in between that would do a better job.. 4..i actually had to put cement at the bottom because there was a hole going into the house. what should i do to patch it up until i got money to get a new one? http://photobucket.com/chimney

Going to have a brick side steps installed. There is an old stone / cement structure that was as old base for steps. After tearing out a wooden set of steps. The old structure is very old 50 years plus Do I remove the old structure and install a whole new base or build around the old base ? If the contractors use the old base do I take off from the install price? Would it not be the right thing to remove all the old structure and start new? Or the contarctor is doing a bad job? How do you know there using old bricks than new ones ? Any opinions thanks
