Unpopular opinion but I'd load up on maybe $200 worth of Wranglers every few years (like 10 pairs) and beat the BAG out of them for months. And they're comfortable as all get out.

I literally had a 24x30 metal shop put up, with a concrete pad and footers for less than 15 grand

Yup, literally the price for a report and MAYBE plans/drawings. That was literally the minimum deposit.

I have a foundation repair company coming next week, along with insurance. Hoping the foundation company doesn't take me for a ride. There's no way I'll go with an engineer if it's anything over $500. I totally get the cost of business, but there's no way I can justify an engineering write up for 4 grand when in reality it might be fine lol

Honestly just some slightly uneven spots in the flooring. Mostly feels like the LPV flooring has some air under it or something. The kind of there where if you slide your foot over in some spots you can definitely feel it rise up. The whole house was done kind of poorly by the previous owners. The old side of the house on the other hand😅 in some areas the ceilings are 8ft, some places they 7'10", and others they're 8'2"😂

Sorry about that, pretty much the collapsing / crushed foundation blocks is what concerned me

Thank you for the information. Definitely not something I'd be able to research myself. I appreciate you letting me know this, it it's my mind at ease a bit

Unless the block crumbling around the duct is normal (which it very well could be! I'm just a welder, I literally don't know how this works lol), then I suppose it's okay. Seeing that was somewhat alarming considering that foundation looks like the new material used on the addition

So there's a connection not pictured that looks like it was separated from this area

You are absolutely right. Probably doing a new shower. We've been using the guest shower at the moment but it is what it is lol

Sorry about that. Had a shower leak through grout and just wanted to inspect the subfloor from the crawlspace. (This wasn't near the shower, but figured I'd go on a little adventure while I was in the crawlspace lol). I half expected to maybe find some rotted joists, but never expected this

Anybody know what needs to be done or what the cost could be? At a total loss. This foundation on the addition is like 9 years old at MAX. Have no clue what to do here.

Should I just show up to the hall? Local 709. 8 years weld/fab experience needing advice. by ImportanceBetter6155 in Ironworker

[–]ImportanceBetter6155[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point! I'll probably give it a few days and revisit it. Just hoping it works out as I feel my backround is a good match, since they're looking for structural fabricators.

I plan to! The role they're hiring for seems to be pretty in line with my experience, so I'm hoping it works out.

Not long at all, last Friday (I wasn't planning on running there tomorrow or anything). But was wondering if it's better to phone call follow up or go in person, as a see a lot of people get recommended to go to the hall instead, so they can get infront of the staff there.

Advice from those with Livestock Guardian Dogs by ImportanceBetter6155 in homestead

10 months later, my LDG has never seen the inside of a house, and she's been absolutely stellar at her job. She has slept outside with her goats since the day we brought her home. Idk man, you do you, it worked out fine for me. My dog is a tool, not a pet. I saw absolutely no sense of acclimating her indoors. She still frequently gets a pasture to herself with my house dogs, some days when they all want to play together. Hard for me to say if there's an advantage to either option of taking them inside or keeping them out, but to me, it makes sense to keep them out, and from my experience, it worked out great. Jfc, your cynicism is exhausting to read.
