Mike Holmes: If it's all Greek to you, listen up
If you're going through a renovation or planning one, it helps to know the terms and lingo that contractors and trades professionals use - things like 16 off centre, LVLs, HVAC and rough-in. Contractors have an entire language of their own. I still get blank stares from homeowners - usually when I'm explaining exactly how I'm going to frame out their basement, carry structure after knocking down a wall or pitch their roof.
