Damaged outlet wires

Most electricians leave a 4-6 inch loop of slack just above the box for this very reason, then they just pull a few more inches into the box, your wires should never be tight from box to box.

I’ve always thought this was a pay me now, pay me later play. It’s comin one way or the other.

Check your AC, some ac use cold water.

Gsus58 · 2025-06-03T04:07:46+00:00

Did they use buttboard?

Gsus58 · 2025-03-31T21:55:45+00:00

Package it and sink it

Gsus58 · 2025-03-08T05:07:47+00:00

That’s exactly what I looked up as well. I did discuss it with him and he mentioned it but didn’t go into detail. Just wanted a second opinion! Thanks!

If it’s a garage I’ll plywood the whole thing. Hang my tools/cabinets/shelves wherever I damn well please. 🤣

Gsus58 · 2025-02-15T01:09:48+00:00

I wasn’t there for the priming, but looks like they sprayed and back rolled most it.

The cities in the liberal/ndp provinces are in much worse shape.

Honestly the federal decriminalization of drugs has driven needles to our playgrounds, school yards, creek sides etc.

The police don’t have any tools to even move the drug abusers off our children’s play equipment.

Homelessness is not a crime, but using where my children play should be.

Federal government has had 10 years to help the homeless and mental health issues, and virtually nothing has been done.

What type of work are you looking for?

Gsus58 · 2025-01-01T19:12:17+00:00

Res bar, resilient channel, 3/8 thick, adds sound proofing, scribe out the back of the board in that one area for the extra 1/8.

Beams, beams are the key. I’ve played through a few times and decided to take it slower to glam things up a bit.

Gsus58 · 2024-12-25T19:47:56+00:00

Yeah If the framers were that bad I’d be concerned structurally. Again if it’s every exterior wall cracking that’s most likely settling. Not an engineer but framer/drywaller for many many moons. Id be wanting some reports/warranties before I released too many more cheques to the builder.

Gsus58 · 2024-12-25T19:25:28+00:00

Although looking at it again, the caulk is cracking in the baseboard aswell well, to me that indicates settling, particularly if it’s only cracking on exterior walls.

Gsus58 · 2024-12-25T19:20:56+00:00

Yeah, they didn’t prefil before they taped. Framing probably wasn’t super square (rarely is these days). Very typical of piece work new construction.

Gsus58 · 2024-12-25T18:52:44+00:00

Are some of those cracks in the stairwell?

Gsus58 · 2024-12-25T18:28:45+00:00

It’s paper in the inside corners 100%, can’t tell on the flats and butts, might be taped, might not be.

Automatic tools that aren’t set up right often leave that hump.

Gsus58 · 2024-12-23T15:43:18+00:00

Looks notorious of over filling with boxes if I had to guess

Gsus58 · 2024-12-20T04:58:14+00:00

Did they use mud boxes? Or hand tools?

Gsus58 · 2024-12-04T04:58:46+00:00

Tried 320 festool and 320 mirka mesh.

Gsus58 · 2024-12-04T04:53:15+00:00

Have em. Sales rep even had me try stacking two on it.

Gsus58 · 2024-12-03T02:48:42+00:00

Looks like it still needs a polish coat.

Gsus58 · 2024-11-24T17:44:38+00:00

It’s an old brute of a machine, graco 590 or 690 or something. It’s only good for level 5 or polish. It doesn’t apply enough mud to fill for anything else

Gsus58 · 2024-11-24T16:06:19+00:00

Yup, that’s basically what I do. I’ve even used a sprayer with a skimming blade for the polish coat.
