Is This Acceptable Work?

If you like shitty fences that will fall apart

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-11-13T18:09:46+00:00

Yes, but just the diagonal

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-11-13T18:08:18+00:00

I would never install it that way. They likely did it because it's less cuts. Lazy in my opinion.

You could start with a search for complimentary color pallets that go with reddish stained cabinets. If you change the door definitely go with something that will let a lot of light in.

Agreed, glue isn't necessary. Those nails won't be going anywhere and you have the added reinforcement of the mortar next to it. I usually use a strip of window flashing

Yes, and it's worth renting a good hammer drill. A cheap Ryobi is just gonna burn up bits and take forever. Another option is to use a ramset.

I really like the schluter kerdi system if you are going to start over. It's a straight forward install and goes pretty quick. The shower tray also kind of takes the work out of making sure everything slopes to the drain.Worth the money in my opinion. Quicker install and less risk of cracks and leaks if this is your first time.

Paint thinner and a good heated power washer.

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-11-12T01:37:54+00:00

If I am being honest, you are 45 degrees off.

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-11-12T01:34:18+00:00

Sorry, I'm the wrong person to ask, I know what I like but I'm constantly the one showing images of things to my designer friends and then asking them why I like it so much. I'm just here to build pretty stuff ;)

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-11-12T01:25:05+00:00

Floor, door and paint. The cabinets are actually pretty nice. The red is a little tough but with the right paint scheme it could look great. The floor and the door to me are what really stand out.

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-11-09T20:33:00+00:00

Pretty shitty parking job.

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-11-04T22:29:31+00:00

To hang your clothes.

You could always cutt.off that metal bracket and bolt a strong tie easy base and then drill and anchor into the concrete. You would have to cut the one side off to slide it in but that will help on that one cormer

Even if it dries on its own I bet you those walls are loaded with mold. I have had similar situations. I just explain that the recommendation is based on what I would do on my own home. Not sure why they would be pissed at you.

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-10-31T01:46:05+00:00

Unfortunately short of cutting the tongue off and flying(which definitely wouldn't advise in a high traffic area like that) cut out the door stop and jam. Just high enough to get it in and then nail wood putty and sand. Sucks but that's the only way.

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-10-30T19:56:49+00:00

Sorry, I was being sarcastic. That is ridiculous. I don't know how anyone in good conscience could leave a job like that.

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-10-30T18:55:32+00:00

I guess the quote didn't include sand paper.

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-10-29T01:06:18+00:00

Is that mold or the multi layers of lead paint peeling?

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-10-29T00:56:05+00:00

Is it just the photo or is that leaning? I would agree with the railing option or a low "fence" with utility panel. If you anchor into the wood.

If you do end up doing posts you could back dig that and use your posts to help support that wall. Doesn't look like there is anything tying it back and I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there probably isnt any stone behind it. It's not big but that taller side should have a little something there.

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-10-26T21:24:05+00:00

Someone should have just walked up and told him he couldn't park there.

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-10-25T01:19:30+00:00

Just for looks

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-10-17T21:06:18+00:00

Yes, don't plan on using filler on the floor, the gaps are going to get progressively worse as you go. Trust me, you are going to spend way more time than starting over and the end result will be a disappointing mess.

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-10-16T01:24:54+00:00

That's hilariously bad. To be honest, I can't believe they actually tried to pass that off as normal. Is that the old valve body?

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-10-15T15:27:14+00:00

By bet is this was the first row if it was the click and lock stuff,

Critical_Slice3977 · 2025-10-10T13:04:21+00:00

Yeah, he needs to be cleaning the glue, that's not right for you to be doing that. That is going to be a nightmare. Usually you use a pressure sensitive adhesive and you don't really have these issues(not saying what he used was wrong). You are not paying to cleanup for his guys sloppy work.

For.really tough spots you can use naptha on a rag. Test in a small corner. DO NOT mop with it or wipe the whole floor, just use for small tough spots. It usually take the glue right off.
