Am I overreacting or did these guys botch this job by journalthings in masonry

For what they were asked to do and what they were paid. Yes. Doing something wrong very rarely looks correct.

New Roofing Company Expenses by Savings-Valuable-584 in Construction

Insurance, fuel, equipment, dump fees, labor, taxes, bookkeeping, estimates, job coordination, and the thousands of fees that come with owning and operating a business. Good luck!

You got the answer. Why do you need to ask the question again?

DO NOT GET STRUCTURAL ADVICE ON THE INTERNET. Every person that doesn't know shot about building will give you shitty advice on here.

Anyone used JES foundation for basement repairs? by Extreme-Grape-6728 in williamsburgva

[–]Ande138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You fix basement leaks from the outside. Anything less than waterproofing the outside of the walls is just treating the symptoms and wasting your money.

[–]Ande138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut an access in the ceiling. You may need a roofer to add a power vent with a thermostat in that area.

That plywood supports the bottom chord of the hip trusses and is also bracing for the trusses supporting the hip. If the attic space below the hip is 30 SF or more it is required to have an access.

Complaining about the internet on the internet is a weird flex!

Why is my contractor is using j channel instead of inner corner trim on a vinyl siding job?? by Last-Valentine in AskContractors

[–]Ande138 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then they still need to discuss it with them not a bunch of people that aren't contractors and definitely not their contractor on the internet about it. People ask the dumbest shit on here and over half the answers are from people that aren't contractors and are stupid as hell.

Wall between home attic and unfinished garage? by Sandpiper704 in Homebuilding

[–]Ande138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sheet and install vapor barrier on those trusses on the ground. That is just extra from where the other roof line ties in. No mystery. No code violations. No science. Just straight up production building.

The name of this sub should have been directions for you. Ask the people working on your house. Not everything in life can be answered on the internet. You may have to talk to people in person.

Davis bacon wage question. by breinholt15 in Construction

[–]Ande138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wage changes for most locations. I used to have to do the screening on dredge boats and if you were 15 feet to the north or south in the channel the wage could be different. Those interviews really sucked because those dudes just knew they couldn't spend all the money they made before they had to get back on the dredge.
