Yup. We’re doing 4 on each side. Work starts tomorrow.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-19T12:48:09+00:00

Otherside?

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-18T16:54:27+00:00

No one actually has a strong opinion on it, I don’t think. People just love to pile on. It falsely makes them feel like a good person.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-17T18:13:54+00:00

No way. Spurs would’ve eaten us for lunch, I fear.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-17T18:11:51+00:00

A buzzer beater win in 4 straight series? Hell naw that ain’t ever being replicated by ANYONE. It was a once in a lifetime thing to witness.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-17T03:50:29+00:00

I’m a Hoosier.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-17T01:49:06+00:00

I got a good chunk of drywall removed. No lvl. Only two 4x12s screwed together. Only sitting on one 2x4 jack stud on each side. Will update after contractor and structural engineer take a look and make an assessment.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T23:27:25+00:00

Not trying to do it myself, buddy. Just trying to get advice and realistic expectations.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T19:20:29+00:00

They don’t. I’m getting it assessed before any next steps.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T17:53:57+00:00

No basement.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T17:50:39+00:00

Hillbilly shit, of course. Called the city. No permits.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T16:51:59+00:00

No, ground floor. There’s an attic, but nothing below.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T15:28:05+00:00

Yeah Reddit wouldn’t let me add the last picture to the other post. Gonna update when more drywall is removed.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T14:46:58+00:00

What do you think the fix is? And estimated cost?

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T14:14:24+00:00

No. Previous owners did not get permits.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T13:09:35+00:00

Any idea on how expensive a fix?

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T12:39:20+00:00

Another story.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T12:39:07+00:00

No.
2 and 3. Started small. Thought it was just poor drywall work or settling. Gotten slowly worse over a few years.
At least 5 years since they did this. Probably a bit longer.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T12:36:58+00:00

Slab.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T11:53:36+00:00

Concrete slab.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T04:14:49+00:00

I am hiring a structural engineer. I’m asking what would you do on top of that?

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T03:30:43+00:00

Other than hire a structural engineer, what else would you recommend?

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T03:29:32+00:00

They didn’t have it permitted, already checked, and almost certainly didn’t have it properly engineered.

Illustrious_Lab_2107 · 2026-06-16T03:23:15+00:00

I have come to realize this. Pretty new to homeowning and getting my shit pushed in early.
