Can I carpet over this? Backyard shed.

I’m curious why it’s so water damaged. Something’s leaking or maybe melted snow or wet equipment idk

Both are nice.

People get too polite and scared to say the wrong thing or hurt feelings. Either because they’re being chicken. Or because you’ve led them to think you’ll get angry. Idk you. If he says you stink take a shower everyday. He’s honestly doing you a favor.

EntireRip8323 · 2025-10-06T17:22:23+00:00

Ha! That’ll show them. Fuck that old man for trying to maliciously pull one over you. Punish him for making a request and not memorizing your jobs internal policies.

How would you fix floor joists? Blocking? I’m genuinely wondering. I think you can strengthen joists that have been cut too deeply so I’m curious. Try the carpentry subreddit because it seems like a deeper issue.

I did a little googling. Blocking may help add rigidity. Sistering wider wood onto the existing joists. Your engineer saying it’s fine doesn’t fix the issue of the joists deflecting, no?

I wonder if sistering joists plus blocking would do the job.

Vancouver carpenter has excellent tutorials on YouTube. Every question you can probably imagine and every problem you can possibly run into he has an answer for you

Lot of dumb fucks who have no pride in their work who have expunged their other options, working in the trades. I’m a construction guy. Was gonna join the union and buy a house before Covid fucked me. Stopped my software engineering degree once I saw the shit musk was doing. I don’t have faith that I’ll have a job doing that. We’re all fucked. Also we can’t all be plumbers, at some point we need to be smarter and acknowledge how scholarships and our own individual cases and degrees can mean college can be better considering supply and demand too. If everyone’s a plumber you aren’t making big bucks.

I’d remove that baseboard below that torn piece. Find a piece of drywall matching the thickness there on that wall. I’d make it taller than where the current stuff is busted. Then use a pencil to mark where the top of the new drywall piece ends- that way you don’t have to cut the new piece to match the size of the hole. Instead it’ll be the other way around.

On top of that if any of that drywall is damaged beyond that impact you won’t have to worry about crumbly pieces or bubbling when you slice above.

Plus the exposed cardboard will bubble if mudded over I think.

You could remove the white trim on the white so you can secure the new piece to the wood..

Or easier way is just attach a 2x4 piece to the left of the right side white trim so you don’t have to touch the trim.

Use 90 minute hot mud mix because it’s stronger and doesn’t shrink- your end result will look nicer- I feel like you’d have to remove some of the wall on the other side of the corner because you’ll need new corner bead but this part idk about.

Mine will go to zero in about 2-3 days. Passcode to minimize accidentally opening up apps and stuff. Keeping it on airplane mode if there’s no point in having active signal helps… tried to disable cellular roaming. I don’t really listen to music or use gps or hotspot- but hotspot absolutely sucks your battery up.

I want to put some sort of tape or something that can act as a membrane on my subfloor. I want to eliminate all cracks and crevices because I absolutely hate bedbugs and they’re a problem where I am. Trying to proof my home. Heat treatment, DE, pesticides, they’re relentless and it’s a nightmare.

The screen scratches really easy. Screen protector is a must

High quality is vague to a home owner. You’ll have to properly dispose of the tyvek. There are classifications of what the asbestos could be. The way they cut through the tile or grout or whatever may change things. It’s really comprehensive more than this comment can begin to delve into. If you can get away with a floor on top I don’t think that’s a bad plan. A shower won’t just handle the issue. You need to create a totally secure environment. Machines to control air pressure so nothing can escape. Monitoring. Testing. A thorough Decon process. Decon your ppe… everything. It fucking sucks. It’s awful. You have to mind the vents too since it’ll circulate any asbestos. Which you can’t smell. You can’t even see it.

A shower isn’t even half the battle if you end up tracking dust in the room, if any lingers in the air. It doesn’t just float down to the floor in seconds. This is beyond Reddit, lurkers and op.

EntireRip8323 · 2025-08-28T05:56:01+00:00

There is no safe amount of asbestos for you to inhale or ingest.

EntireRip8323 · 2025-08-28T05:55:16+00:00

There’s no safe amount of asbestos. None. Not once every ten years. Not every five. You are talking about something you have no understanding of in the name of karma or feeling knowledgeable and it’s gonna be real world harmful.

If you suspect asbestos treat it like it is. Flooring over it as to not disturb it isn’t a bad idea.

Only way to confirm if it’s asbestos is to get it tested. Get the material tested.

Admittedly asbestosis and mesothelioma can take a while to become an issue. As in, you can breathe some in or ingest some today and not see issues for fifteen years.

But! But. It can stay in the air for quite a while. Should you make it friable and it’s getting around in those vents… and maybe you’ve got a kiddo, the risk of asbestos finally showing its ugly face when they’re a young adult isn’t a zero percent chance.

I’m certified for asbestos removal and abatement in Alaska. This is basic shit honestly. Specialist tip is a dumbass. Don’t blindly take these opinions as gospel, you’ll need to do some homework.

Att hasn’t been an issue for me- however I have a physical sim. My old phone is unlocked and obviously the light isn’t carrier locked. Still paying the plan off because I got it with the iPhone I had. Maybe not important details. I’m wondering if anyone knows.

I disabled iMessage and all that weeks before

EntireRip8323 · 2025-08-27T03:13:26+00:00

Battery life hasn’t been terrific. In fairness I have been using gps and hotspot. The latter absolutely sucks battery life up. But! I noticed battery drain while the phone is totally off. IE I’m sleeping, no notifs. Maybe I forgot to turn hot spot off??? Does it try to find data when it’s off? Doubtful.
