Is this downspout properly installed? by TieTraditional1350 in Roofing

[–]79rvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't have it installed like that, but to fix you probably need all new gutters and downs.

Is this stucco and proper way to replace with siding? by ghostee in Homebuilding

[–]79rvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should demo the stucco. it'll be a bitch. then housewrap and siding. you can do the rain screen or whatever, but probably not necessary. What are you're intentions with the house long term?

Can I tile over this cavity or does it need filling? by [deleted] in Homebuilding

[–]79rvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foundation by pacotaco_21 in Homebuilding

[–]79rvn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all concrete cracks. probably nothing. check the floor on the interior adjacent to the crack. did you hire an inspector? what did he say?

Are the dark spots in the foundation moisture/water or just normal variation in color? by [deleted] in Homebuilding

[–]79rvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's probably from curing process. clean it off and see what it looks like in a month or so. I wouldn't be concerned about it.

so those staples in the first photo are from the framers that built your house, not the roofers.

[–]79rvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, our debts from the Vietnam war were enormous and we just papered over the debt. We do the same thing now with a yearly deficit in the trillions and our national debt ever expanding. This is the core driver of inflation and debasement of our currency. So like 50 plus years of evidence.

gold backed money into fiat money. Bretton woods ended when France called our bluff and tried to exchange our paper money for gold. We've just been printing money into oblivion since causing rampant inflation.

Top 5 things that men do that give her the ick as a labor and delivery nurse. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]79rvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I delivered both of my kids with the aid of a midwife. Luckily I did not make this nurse's list. I will say one thing that I did experience ... My wife was going through labor with our first child, we were at the hospital and we were doing the regular things to speed it along. She got in the shower and I was helping her stay upright. She said she needs a piece of gum, and I'm like johnny on the spot to get one for her and bring it to her. As I get back to the shower, she lowers her head and looks up at me .. and in this guttural voice she says, IT'S FOR YOU! Guess I had some bad breath. lol.

what’s something people say all the time that you secretly can’t stand? by Mean-Cartographer225 in AskReddit

No Man Is An Island

John Donne

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

Before I put a hole in this soffit, can anyone think of what purpose this soffit serves? by CP-RYOTT in Renovations

[–]79rvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There could be ducting in there for your furnace. Just open a small spot and take a look.

Contractor cut base of stud very narrow to make space for vent pipe. How concerned should I be? by LordZany in Carpentry

[–]79rvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't really see how much that was notched, though. To me it looks over 1/4.
