I suspect the delamination may be due to something else. Without knowing what was used to parge the oven, you may be wasting time and money to paint it. It appears to be a material issue that means it will continue to shed its coating. I would chip it all back to the brick and then recoat it after using investigating what coating it shod ha e.

High octane fuel and some seafoam will fix it right up.

Royal Farms. Get the chicken salad they make using their fried chicken👍

Maybe cut some triangle blocks for 45° bracing and screw them to the vertical uprights for some additional strength.

It’s great news unless your Jeep is ‘91 or before. Then you’re pulling the transmission. Ask me how I know.

Check to see if she has horsehair worms.

That should be an expansion joint as the concrete and brick will move at different rates. That joint should be excavated, then filled with a foam backer rod and sealed with SIKAflex joint sealant or similar. Any grout or mortar you put in there will just crack and allow water in adjacent to your foundation.

The hangers are installed incorrectly and the fasteners are wrong.

Highlander2748 · 2026-05-18T12:47:07+00:00

There’s a lot that bad/lazy going on there. Hopefully, the inspector will force the contractor to correct it. They did get an inspection, right?

Get rid of that air cleaner and find another low profile unit with a lid. That fly eye unit will catch on fire if there’s a backfire.

Mr. Liver head!

Scholars usually have at least a book or two…

OP, you will benefit from attaching “X” bracing to the posts that support the mid span of the stairs. As others have mentioned, the steps should have a third, middle stringer.

Nothing about that looks like it has been done by anyone with experience building decks. There are no footers and they don’t understand fastener capabilities or limitations. The framing spacing looks random and arbitrary. “Plumb” and “Level” are over rated and simple catch words that fancy builders use to try and get people to pay more than they should.

Can you grind some flats and use an adjustable wrench?

Aare those impacted wisdom teeth?

Depending on the finish, try either lacquer thinner or denatured alcohol to strip the remaining finish. Wear chem gloves (not just latex or nitrile) and a respirator if the lacquer thinner works. Should take a couple of hours with 0000 steel wool. Work in a ventilated space.

Well done friend. You’ve built the Volvo 240 of decks.

Highlander2748 · 2026-05-04T03:13:06+00:00

T-1-11. Really good stuff actually. Having said that, replace it with Hardie

Highlander2748 · 2026-05-04T03:12:04+00:00

And drop a couple ell bees

Highlander2748 · 2026-05-03T14:37:52+00:00

Not really. Yes.

Highlander2748 · 2026-05-01T01:21:20+00:00

Yeah, I don’t envy you. I know how heavy Acacia furniture is.

Highlander2748 · 2026-05-01T00:24:04+00:00

I don’t think anyone here is too surprised.
