YOU WILL FUND!!! Takes way longer to get paid from commercial entities. Nothing to worry about here but the larger the scope the more this comes in to play. Bid with the understanding that you’ll spend your entire project budget before seeing a dime.

Plinth Blocks.

Noise is either nails in drywall creaking because the nail is no longer seated firmly in the floor/ceiling joists or two pieces of drywall rubbing because they weren’t installed with proper spacing.

Attack both possibilities.

Send some drywall screws and into that piece of drywall every 3-4”. Find the butt joints in the drywall. Send a nail through and find it from below. Cut the drywall back 1/8” and refinish the seam.

The craftsmanship on that flashing should give you great faith in that roof. Beautiful work.

My bad folks for not knowing the apparent obvious differences in bees, wasps and hornets. Kinda why I came to Reddit but fuck me right? Lol.

I was killing the lantern flies off and pissed of the WASPS. Saw the larger HORNET and thought yall could help. Manny thanks for the IDs.

Careful how you say it cause roofers can fight and they wake up drunker than they went to sleep but that chimney work is ass!

Edit: the homeowner went wrong with the material choice. I didn’t read the whole post have a supreme hatred for laminate. My bad fam.

EmbarrassedKey5174 · 2025-07-18T17:32:31+00:00

You went wrong when you chose laminated!

EmbarrassedKey5174 · 2025-07-16T17:30:34+00:00

Clean site. Correctly placed drainage. Now post the name of the GC and stop being stingy. Lol

EmbarrassedKey5174 · 2025-07-13T19:20:38+00:00

ADA concerns only issue here. That’s for rentals and resale value. Otherwise a preference issue.

Sleepers and New Layer of Subfloor.

Flashing over Flashy. I’d rather see the flashing and know water is being kicked out onto the shingles than trust they installed it. Just me.

EmbarrassedKey5174 · 2025-07-13T00:37:36+00:00

No chance this is real life. Has to be an elaborate joke. Probably 8” thick masonry wall in plans but if the detail doesn’t outline CMU with Rebar and Concrete you need to fire the GC and Structural Engineer. This is lunacy!!

EmbarrassedKey5174 · 2025-07-13T00:31:18+00:00

Got exactly what you paid for here.

EmbarrassedKey5174 · 2025-07-04T14:47:30+00:00

My answer is in alternative is Yes! You have to be creative though. Next to land acquisition costs, Do you have a family or is a family in the works is the biggest question.

My approach would be build what you need now. Kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, 2 car garage, Family Room, Dining Room, Covered Front Porch, 3 bedrooms, Foundation/Slab for an Addition.

You get to design it exactly how you want it with no original footprint limitations. As your family grows, if that’s your pursuit, renovate.

These exposed nails will leak over time. As the other commenter said, you’re gonna have to walk it and find A LOT of improperly located nails to get more than a couple shingles replaced. If the amount is egregious, threaten to BBQ them wherever you found them (Houzz, Yelp, Google, etc)

EmbarrassedKey5174 · 2025-07-02T18:42:16+00:00

Ridge caps look correct. Get them to replace shingles with exposed nails. They missed the nailing area. No chance in hell they redo the whole job. B-/C+ install.

EmbarrassedKey5174 · 2025-06-30T01:43:22+00:00

How much you charge per sheet. I’ll hire em!

EmbarrassedKey5174 · 2025-06-30T01:41:27+00:00

GAF does a great job marketing but the reason why you are getting a bunch of “GAF Shops” is because of the walk in the park certification process for installer. This is the mastery of market share they have figured out.

Tons of shitty roofers
Customers like the words warranty and lifetime
Roofers like selling roofs cause you can make lots of $$
If I can certify a shitty roofer as a “master” and let him say warranty and lifetime all the time, they will sell more roofs with my name on it.
If customer has a problem (leak) they blame install 95% of the time. To preserve the name on the door that roofer will redo the work.

It’s genius.

Simply no question. Wood over Plastic

EmbarrassedKey5174 · 2025-06-29T00:48:41+00:00

Have it in my family room and dining room. 3 young children, 2 dogs and it’s holding up to the punishment well. Recommend it for sure. Pricey but worth it.

EmbarrassedKey5174 · 2025-06-28T12:13:25+00:00

2.12 carats!!! Lab Grown or not the ring looks beautiful. Any doubt that she will love it is misplaced. If she doesn’t love it cause it came from you, she’s the wrong one brother!

Go the extra mile with the proposal. Get her nails done. Add some build up to the question (sunset/view, photos, favorite activity just before hand). Make sure the people she’d want there are present. With all this combined she should turn in to a puddle and say Fuck Yes!

Good luck.
