The continuous load path is the idea that your deck needs sturdy connections at each point where framing members meet, to facilitate a single, continuous path for stress to travel through the deck and into the ground. Decks are awesome, but not always safe! So look out for these key connections when you’re looking at houses with decks. #sponsor | Ellie Ridge

Ellie Ridge on Instagram: "Part 2!! These are the best improvements you can make to your own house, based on ROI *AND* your happiness index (very important metric). Most of us aren’t flippers… we’re just regular people who want to feel good in our space, but also make a little money off our real estate investment when we eventually sell. These projects are what I’ve implemented in my OWN home; and are part of my strategy when preparing homes for sale professionally (which is, literally, my job).

Ellie Ridge on Instagram: "I put in stories how glad I am we redid this window casing bc I just couldn’t with all the putty and random nailing. That’s the kind of thing that really matters to me I’m realizing :) Designing and overseeing your own remodel is a learning process — I’m definitely getting better at it as I go and on the next bathroom we’re not gonna have any re-dos!! ;)"

Ellie Ridge on Instagram: "Vaulted ceilings change everything!! I harp about it all the time because the value add is so huge relative to construction cost — and the visual and emotional change is so dramatic. Paired with built ins, exposed wood & skylights? Perfect. This listing is 1216 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, presented by the ineffable Karthiga Satkunanandan at Grubb Co. Get to pulling down your ceiling joists, guys (with an engineers sign off, of course 😘)"
