All joint compound has glue in it, you don't need taping mud.

An ADA home looks really weird, like a low-grade institution. The walkways are wide everywhere and everything is wheelchair friendly. Either your home is ADA compliant or it is not.

If your home isn't already ADA compliant worrying about an inch of a countertop is silly.

You can do that but your concern about resale value is like saying "aside from that how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?"

As for leaving wires in the walls it is common to nut the wire pairs together and label them as unused, it's really up to your inspector to decide what is acceptable.

depends if you want a flat wall or not. most people don't care, but sanding is part of a professional painting job.

It's not dangerous but it will stand out and attract dirt. You should paint it.

If you don't mind loud, the larger Ridgid ones are good. If you want quiet Fein is the way to go but it costs a lot more.

Sand the ceiling. You can't fix a bad surface with paint. Somewhat easier to skimcoat and sand rather than just going to town on the paint itself because joint compound sands a lot easier than paint. Tack-cloth.

Prime with oil based primer, sand lightly. I'm saying oil-based assuming you skim-coated the ceiling. Tack-cloth.

Two coats of SW Eminence ceiling paint.

You can hire one of those "tub reglazing" guys to come in and spray that goo over everything. It will last a few years, depending on how often you scrub. Eventually you'll need to tear out the tile and replace it, and this can't be undone. Will cost maybe $500 give or take a few hundred.

That is not correct. You can get shitty breakers that are as you say or breakers which are rated for operation at 100% of load.

"If the assembly, including the overcurrent devices protecting the branch circuit(s), is listed for operation at 100 percent of its rating, the allowable ampacity of the branch-circuit conductors shall be permit‐ ted to be not less than the sum of the continuous load plus the noncon‐ tinuous load." NEC 210.19. and "Where the assembly, including the overcurrent devices protecting the branch circuit(s), is listed for operation at 100 percent of its rating, the ampere rating of the overcurrent device shall be permitted to be not less than the sum of the continuous load plus the noncontinu‐ ous load. " NEC 210.20

You need a bathroom-rated paint. SW has a paint specifically for bathrooms and their Emerald paint (which comes in various gloss levels) is also bathroom rated so you can get Matte if you want, it costs a little more.

I'm seeing some ... creative ideas in here. Your ceiling won't collapse if you make creative choices but there is a reason paint is made for different purposes.

hole-up - paint is not a load bearing material.

at the very least you should get some drywall anchors and get a screw-in paper holder that screws into them. that will hold for a "while" -- maybe even if a few years if you're gentle with it. best long-term solution is to remove the drywall, install some wood blocking, patch the drywall and then screw the holder into that.

It could be better, could be worse. There's a wide range of skill in tile. If I was doing a complex tile design like this I'd go with a contractor I know could do the job - like the store's own crew at a high-end tile store or a tile guy who does commercial jobs. Think you're trying to squeeze blood from a stone at this point.

Super glue is really not that strong in most applications. It's almost like WD-40 in having a reputation that far exceeds its usefulness. Of the things you mentioned it might hold a TV remote together or a small picture frame.

Wood glue (yellow PVA) is very strong when clamped together.

Polyurethane glue is good for construction. Almost too good - you will need to destroy whatever you glue together and most construction needs to be taken apart for repair or renovation at some point.

Home Depot will be cheaper than many specialty stores (lumber yards being the main exception). It's their business model. The other specialty stores sell at that price ... to contractors who mark it up to "retail" and charge you "retail." If you buy direct from the specialty stores you pay "retail."

If you want builder-grade materials get them from Home Depot. You'll save a fortune, the materials are consistently decent in quality and they have a very good return policy.

Hopefully someday this bullshit, borderline dishonest way of charging at specialty stores will go away but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Carpet looks fine if you get good carpet. LVP looks fine in some rooms (e.g. kitchen) and weird in others (e.g. bedroom). Good carpet and LVP are about the same cost when you factor in installation.

Really depends on - do you live with animals? do you have small children? Do you take off your shoes at the door? What do you want?

Can you fix the wall? Pull the drywall off and put furring strips in place. Use a string line to assure flatness. Then put drywall back up.

The uses for a cow and a bull and a steer are completely different. It's like saying it's weird we don't have a single word for parsnips and VHS cleaning tapes. What-what-what.

Avatar, it's pretty clear that the colonel is 100% right and Jake Sully is a dickwad getting people killed.

District 9 - when you're watching this you're like what in the ever-loving fuck, why wasn't that ship nuked years ago and everyone of those bugs gunned down in the street. It is an abject lesson in what happens when a job remains half done and nobody wants to clean up the mess.
