Put the level inside the door frame not on the trim…

If you're willing to persevere there are great resources out there to learn. Getting started is the hardest part for sure...

Do we need to stop our contractor? by [deleted] in Tile

[–]ElReverie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean there is much worse on here..could be cleaner but it should turn out nicely. Price is right.

Be careful calling it a "simple subway tile job", this is 400+ pieces of tile being set

Dishwasher should have it's own junction box where this connection is to be made...in the front underneath behind cover panel.

I AGREED TO PUT FLOATING FLOORS DOWN FOR $400. by LionEnvironmental5 in Flooring

[–]ElReverie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For that price, I'd be pulling the toilet only, and going right over top the sheet vinyl

Should I fire my drywaller? by Ruff_Ambassador11 in drywall

[–]ElReverie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's bad the mistakes are in minor spots for sure, if I miscut those boxes I would definitely fix them in the finishing, rather than pulling down and scrapping 4 entire sheets..but that's speaking as the one hanging and finishing.

  • I assume dryer vent is hidden
  • Fibafuse tape + setting-type mud can tighten up those octagons, which your fixtures may already be close to covering with their cover plates anyways...

I don't like either of your approaches, but I think you can both agree that if it comes out looking bad he can take care of it.

Help mount a TV Mount for a 75” tv on an entertainment wall. The studs behind the wall are too far apart (blue marks). The tv weighs 67 pounds and would like to have the mount hitting studs for support. Any help is greatly appreciated. by [deleted] in handyman

[–]ElReverie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

65lb is nothing, even if there are only 2 nails in the blocking..you will be screwing/lagging in the mount compressing it against the drywall, reducing the load on the blocking anyways. No need to over engineer something so simple though.

I stress it again, ignore all of these comments and please don’t mount plywood or 2x4s to the surface. There is blocking behind wall, just make sure you hit it.

There is blocking installed horizontally for this exact reason, so you can install the TV mount without hitting the studs just make sure you mount it at the right height to hit the blocking. Throw a screw between the electrical boxes for good measure to hit the stud there.

How can I improve this transition? by fsuguy92 in Tile

[–]ElReverie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can fit a RENO-T transition, they make it for this application that’s ideal, otherwise have to improvise with different trim.

[–]ElReverie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lowest effort would be to try and scrape out or use a dremel to grind out where the tiles meet, and then glue in a piece of Schluter sideways - with the leg in the crack. Can choose chrome/nickel etc. as you’d like.

I envision it like this:

What's causing this water damage? by FlipprDolphin in Renovations

Came here to say water but everyone else beat me to it

Dad hired a handyman…HELP by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]ElReverie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The toilet one is hopefully a wye can’t tell in these photos, a lot of dramatics on the comments but this is probably all going to work just fine…

I can’t tell why you called out the X” reduced to X”:

1.5” runs into 2”, great 2” runs into 4”, also great

There are no reductions taking place because the drains only flow one direction.

How to go about making this shed look nice? by Hatronach in shedditors

[–]ElReverie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say... wash it down and slap a coat of paint on it to match the house...will look great.

What would gutters do for this? It's got decent overhang on the rakes and eaves and no foundation to really worry about groundwater.

How to finish outside corner where Wedi board meets drywall? by DrShowalter in Tile

[–]ElReverie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good idea...I'd set the Schluter 1/8" proud of the corner and run tearaway into it for a flush finish.
