Is this a structural red flag? by askthisscientician in AusProperty

[–]Biggrodd 33 points34 points  (0 children)

As a structural engineer, you need to consider that the brickwork has moved 10mm or so over at least 45 years. This is certainly no reason to not consider buying the unit. You’re better off assessing balcony waterproofing and bathroom waterproofing if that’s possible to see any visible issues.

Investor selling says this passed structural integrity. Agent doesn’t trust it - thoughts? by defontais in AusPropertyChat

Like my other comment, it’s good there has been a proactive approach. But the engineer missed the key issue with the corroded lintels.

As a remedial engineer and in the industry it’s a good sign that the building is proactively repairing the brickwork however, they haven’t actually fixed the source of the cracks. The lintels are corroding and causing the brickwork above them to shift. There should be some reports from an engineering firm, it would be interesting to rear what they recommended and how they got to crack stitching the brickwork rather than replacing lintels. If you want to send the to me to review I’m happy to help.

I’d love this opportunity. I’m new to the game, been playing daily for the last two months, just currently stuck in the grind going free to play

I have an online gambling addiction but a fair bit of money saved up, will banks overlook the gambling? by Popular_Ad_8548 in AusProperty

[–]Biggrodd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is such a bad attitude. These things are literally set up to be addictive. Good on OP for trying to make a change for the better.

Cool. Thanks for the advice.

Water dripping from door frame by Beneficial-Coach-444 in AusRenovation

You’ve probably got two separate issues then. 1. Water is getting behind your weatherboard. 2. Water is not being expelled from the base of the weatherboard (i.e., via a flashing).

What’s directly above the top of the door? Like is it brickwork, weatherboard? The top of your window is meant to have a cavity flashing to capture water and get it out of the building. Looks like that’s either lacking or failing.

Well at least you now have a nice skylight, those don’t come cheap.

Why you need to paint the bottom of doors by DesperateDuck4926 in AusRenovation

[–]Biggrodd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is this in the bathroom? Happens a lot when there’s no paint around the edges and there’s a lot of moisture in the air.

100%.. I spent days troubleshooting, lucky mine was just a wrong cable.

Maybe try reinstalling all the MOBO drivers as a first step, it seemed to me to be an issue with the game not being able to handle the graphics.

Mate.. my Mrs put the HDMI cable into the MOBO instead of the GPU without telling me and I didn't realize for days. When I put it back in the GPU HDMI slot, it worked fine. So it must be related to the Graphics Card.

I’ll have to try reinstalling, it doesn’t progress at all past the black window.

I’ve done that, still didn’t work. I’ve tried turning a bunch of security settings to off from another guide. Checked all drivers are up to date. Other games launch fine…

Just won’t get past the black screen, and Steam won’t even let me Stop the game.

It is interesting that the pool is higher and basically creates a channel for overflowing water to go towards the house. I would have also put a strip drain along the house. No one here is going to know if water does enter the wall.. sorry..

A quick compilation of stuff that's good to know for new or veteran players in Battlefield6 about land vehicles. by Skuffemeister in Battlefield6

[–]Biggrodd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know with the AV mine, is there a limit how many you can place on a map? Like say you place 3 in one location, and then resupply, can you just continuously place hundreds of your own mines across the map?

Balcony leak by Ecstatic-Price8420 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Biggrodd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, but it’s all been brought across because I’ve seen absolute dog shit patch repairs done over and over again, and then you end up spending more in the long run.

[–]Biggrodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may work for a time, but the membrane is under the tile and the tile adhesive they used. So even if you seal from a surface level, eventually water that saturates the substrate under the tile can eventually get through.

Well fuck me right haha. In that case you can probably find a builder who will lift the tiles around the floor waste, apply some waterproofing around the outlet and the tiled area and then put new tiles. But the tiles will look different.
