Repair Cracked Walls
How do cracks in walls develop?
Cracks in walls are the result of movement beyond that which can be accommodated by the masonry construction materials. A wall tends to crack where masonry is over-stressed and least restrained, such as at window and door openings or at corners. Stress and movement is usually caused by variations in moisture content in the walls, or in the ground that supports them, temperature variations or chemical reactions. Some movements are cyclic and reversible, many are permanent.
Cracks in walls can be divided into three categories:
- active - cracks in masonry that are increasing in width and/or length
- passive - cracks in walls that are not increasing in width or length and
- cyclic - cracks in brickwork that open and close seasonally.
How To Lay Ceramic Tile
The first thing you will need to lay tile is...
The right tools:
- Tape measure, square and caulk line. Hammer, tile nippers, level, and a pry bar.
- Wet tile saw and or 4 inch die grinder with dry cut diamond blade.
- 1/4 inch notched trowel (1/2 inch trowel is recommended for 16x16 or larger tile/stone).
- Safety goggles, power cords and any other safety equipment. Don't forget protection for your hands especially when grouting-latex gloves work great!
- Rubber grout float, buckets and sponges.
Material List
- Cement backer board.
- Glue for cement board as wells as galvanized 2 inch roofing nails or backer board screws.
- Modified thinset mortar, spacers and grout.
- Choose yourself a good tile. Ceramic, porcelain or a natural stone. Note: Buy a good quality tile. Stay away from the red based clay tile. The finish isn't as good and they may break easier. You usually pay for what you get. You can never go wrong with a porcelain tile, although they will be more difficult to cut.

The kitchen is the one room in the house that can have several different types of tiles, in different applications, and they all will enhance your kitchen beautifully.

15 Ways To Save Big When Building A House
No one wants to pay more than necessary when building a home. But only the experts know how to save money on construction, right?
Here are 15 tips from the expert that may help keep your building budget within reason, without compromising on the home you want.
1. Buy a large lot with a friend or family member that can be split into two smaller lots. Some of the most appealing properties may be much larger than what you want or can afford, yet the seller may not be willing to break up a large parcel. So if you can share the cost with someone else (preferably someone you don't mind having as a neighbor), you may be able to pick up a great building site for a reasonable price.
