Chris, don't take me wrong I have only your interest in mind.
I remodel for a living and see these problems all the time.
If you have water/moisture issues they MUST addressed asap.
Go after the guy who did this, Take lots of pictures bedore during and after. The guy screwed you up. Wheather he meant it does not matter, he is responsible, he is the pro. You
may be able to leave your ceilings depending on what was done?
If they are alright knief the wall the the top and leave the ceiling. Try one room, repair it and make sure that the
new process cures your problem.
Good luck, get some legal advice.
Don't wait the smell is hard to get rid of even after you fix it, if you wait too long.

Did you have a written contract with the contractor who installed it?
I have had good luck with with The Better Business Bureau if they are a member they have thirty days to resolve disputes or loose their standing. Just a thought, you can find their web site and check BBB.com I think.
My Mason told me one of a house he is trying to finish the
fireplace on here in Maine, where they put one these thermal goundwater wells heating system? It does not work,
can't get the house over fifty degrees. The cost of the system was eighty thousand dollars! One of them babyboomer

Blue,Green,Orange there all fine for joe homeowner. As someone mentioned a quality dealer is more important.
Personally in three years I have never needed a repair.
I found that all the JD dealers I have talked to are
pretty cocky , I went with Kubota
for the price difference.
Good luck, choose your tires that will suit your needs,
go hydro!

Did you remove the topsoil and or overburden down to the hardpan before laying in the gravel? If not it is probably coming up through? In my experience the filter does not always work, I think you need elevation/drainage on you side, in order for it to allow you to get away without removing the topsoil.

Approx 1973, atthe age of 15 I bought a 1964 Ford Falcon conv. for $50.00. You could get in the trunk without opening the lid. You might say she was a little rusty.

A 6 mil poly is usually stapled over the wall insulation.
Here in Maine the practice is to not poly the ceilings as to let the moisture out.
You may want to look into any potential moisture issues
you might create by putting fiberglass against the metal wall if that is what you are doing? It probaly should not touch?
I have found here in Maine I can hire it done(fiberglass)
for about the same price I can buy it for. Needless to say I let them do it. Worth checking on? It should also give you awarranty of some type?Good luck

The preparation is very important. The base must be very stable.

I can relate to your road situation. If the base is not
mud, at some point I realized it is easier to spend your time and money adding gravel.
This will also create ditches.

My intention was to shed a different light on Carfax.<br>
Some dealers really play it up,as if to say if it is not on the carfax it didn't happen.<br>
My view was impressed upon me by an in-law of an in-law at a family gathering. He was a rather good size car dealer in the area and we were talking trucks. His exact words"Carfax are a joke" I think there may be dealers who make a so called "clean repair" and stick it out on the lot with a clean carfax.<br>
Yes, the registration history is helpful, but I think it stops there. <br>
Just some food for thought. <br>

I have a friend who has been in the remodel biz for 30+<br>
yrs and I consider him to be the master builder.<br>
He say's "any time you get an estimate you get a sh%^ty<br>
job". <br>
Think about it, where is the incentive to do a good job?<br>
The incentive, (if the guy is greedy) is to do it fast.<br>
Fast or good, you can't have both.

My third winter on my provonost, works great! not one problem. Keep it greased and lube the chain often.
Pulling a blower on a gravel drive ? Does your gravel come up in the winter?(small rocks on the surface) could be trouble?
I have my best luck blowing it before anyone drives on it.
Good Luck.

I planned on going with a 50/50 mix. I ran straight k-1 <br>
last year until Art commented that was not a good idea. <br>
I remember a post discussing additives, I am not familiar <br>
with them and thought I would ask. I want to make sure I am properly lubricating the engine. If I remember right it was<br>
a concern of Art's and other's using just K-1.<br>
I guess motocycle season is really over?

Chains on back only is the rule of thumb around here.
the added safety(braking) is worth it.
Maybe add some weight to the front if your having trouble
steering.
Buy a good set of chains, they are a PITA if they come
apart or are always getting loose.
You will only be working on them in a storm.
Good luck.

To chain or to not chain that is the question
