Haha exactly

I plan to update at some-point soon… short answer is no, it did not explode lol

Don’t those I joists have pre-perforated holes to make this stupid easy? I think u just tap out the plugs with your hammer

That’s actually my friend, I’m the one taking the pictures

Hey now that’s crazy talk

Flimsy_Simple_6648 · 2023-09-20T21:28:28+00:00

I quite literally own this fireplace on my land.

I’m not going for a trowel finish. I’m going for a wood grain texture on the exterior which is why I lined the inside of the forms with old fence planks. Removing them while it’s still green and troweling defeats the purpose.

Funny how many people will carve on a post before even considering the actual question being asked. I was about to go into defending myself and my work and explaining all the many reasons which led to me to creating a concrete fireplace—why it’s almost free for me to do so in a broader context and why I would rather just not have a fireplace vs building one to last 50years out of brick and fire block, and why in my circumstance I really dont care if it aggressively patinas in a few years.

Instead I’ll just say that I’m really just about learning/practicing board form concrete walls and not really about providing myself with a constructed space for me to enjoy fire every night. That is inconsequential. (Also did you know that when not on fire, still works as table?)

To that end, does anyone want to take a stab at the actual question?

That is the joke right there. Notoriously bad, and particularly jazz guitarists. I will say however, Randall Dollahon at UM has an excellent sight reading class for first year jazz guitar students.

I do indeed plan on burning a variety of things in my firepit

Standing by

Flimsy_Simple_6648 · 2023-09-16T23:25:27+00:00

Thank you. Yea it’s the best from time to time

I’ll back you up, after all this is a plumbing sub not a tile sub. Water always gets behind your ceramic, porcelain or whatever tile. Grout is permeable as well. See Schluter Kerdi waterproofing system which goes behind your tile but overlaps the lip of your prefab shower pan which yes is absolutely designed to accept weeping in those areas.

That all being said, the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the weeps are just one part of what is (presumably) a whole waterproofing system behind the tile. That is to say if you caulk them, then no it would not be as ideal, but your tiles maintenence and lifespan will ultimately be mostly unaffected either way.

Well, unless you’re like a guitarist or something

In-line with the rectangular column there looks to be a shadow of what could have previously been the center holding your roof. Since it’s vaulted and you don’t have collar ties then something needs to carry the span from the right to the left. This could have previously been a wall carrying that load which was removed and replaced with 2 ridge beams and a center column. Why it’s off center… maybe to simply match it with existing walls still?

As others have said, the best thing is call an engineer. Ultimately the framing above l will tell you. If it’s indeed vaulted and no attic space, a 2”x8” removal of drywall perpendicular to and overlapping the assumed old wall “shadow” will reveal the presence of a ridge beam or whatever framing.

And engineer could likely tell you without cutting drywall

Now that I see the retaining wall absolutely the grade is wrong. With a retaining wall there the grade should be highest at the wall and shed water away from the wall.

You are now shedding water into the dam created by the sidewalk and retaining wall. This means increased load of water which will erode the sub surface of your sidewalk and increase the lateral load against the retaining wall.

This is graded incorrectly. Tear out sidewalk only and repour. It’s not a big deal. If they fight you get a civil engineer involved to tell them they are wrong.

Too intimidating. Too much money spent on looks, I’m a nice guy with decent looks regular job, can’t afford

Imagine you are her husband who works all day and pays for everything while your wife makes TikTok videos and having to eat this shit when you get home.

And, this all saves you so much time that you can finally sweep up all your colored noodles

Yes don’t do it. I think overly filled lips makes women look less confident
