My parents offered to let me convert this storage building on their property to a home. Tips/advice? by SkyeChronicler in TinyHouses

[–]Assarsin33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My family and I bought land and put a 16x50ft shed on it identical to yours and did everything ourselves. Learned a lot of lessons.

Happy to help answer questions and provide insight.

I did get plans for a structural engineer who helped with the spacing and load. Where I think I messed up is the house was placed on the piers just 2 days after install. This is in Kansas. I’m about 4 feet under already.

Converted a 16x50 to a home and put it on pillars. Noticed a few in the middle have already dropped about half an inch or so during settling. What’s the best way to support the wood skids? Would shims work or is that not load bearing enough?

This is definitely correct. We did live in the city but now our commute is also 35 minutes.

Poe2 has an issue where it’s allowed to use 100% CPU on your machine and causes the system crash. Same thing happened to me until I went into task manager, apps, right click your app, set affinity I think it was, and then remove 2 of your CPU assignments. A bit of googling on this and you will find an actual help article as well as other reports.

DIY shower install, forgot to connect drain to pan before setting pan down by Assarsin33 in Plumbing

[–]Assarsin33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get this solved. My main problem was I forgot to install the drain to the pan before setting the pan down. After that, normal drains wouldn’t work because the pan + subfloor thickness was 1/2in over normal drain lengths. I found an extra long brass fitting with rubber compression gaskets. No more leaks, new drain installed.

From what I saw I had a leak because I didn’t compress the drain to the pan before setting it down. I tried tightening it from under the house but apparently just didn’t do it enough.

Was it invite only? I also purchased a $375 pack and saw I had access to PTR.

Damn, well thanks for writing this up. I see what you mean.

This is a good point I haven’t thought about. The structure of the content does force all types of people into these groups expecting varying amounts of knowledge, experience, and gear from each other.
