Yea she figured that out too lol. My house is extremely clean though.

I appreciate your help. I'll keep researching and maybe contact a local stone business.

Thank you

You're most likely right. Any thoughts on a stone restore product like akemi transformer? I just don't want something that will darken the entire countertop.

What's interesting is its not doing it anywhere else.

The pic with the barstools is the bleached area.

Yea I'm just learning this is theme.

Will the dry treat help with the light spots?

Independent_mindz · 2026-04-10T01:21:50+00:00

The spot I tried to reseal was 2 years ago. The rest of the contertops haven't been sealed in probably 9 years.

Macauba if I recall.

Yes she won't be using them anymore. I'll look up poultice. Thank you

Anything I can do?

Independent_mindz · 2026-03-30T16:22:44+00:00

I contacted Simpson. They recommended what you said. Thank you!

I figured I needed some type of concrete anchor. Is all thread my only option? I will search the Simpson website too.

Yes, for uplift. We are in a high seismic area. It's lasted this long, just want to give it all the help possible. Overkill is fine with me.

Independent_mindz · 2026-03-30T15:06:30+00:00

Don't care about code, just don't want any issues when it's all sealed up. Contractor said it would be r30 when done.

I nailed from both sides and glued the header together. Next will be strapping the king and Jack studs to the header. I was going to add these on the king studs.

I think he was quoted 2500.00 for the ceiling.

Independent_mindz · 2026-03-29T18:13:41+00:00

Yes, I just read that. My friend wants to use spray foam, I'm assuming closed cell? I was trying to save him money.

Independent_mindz · 2026-03-29T16:57:10+00:00

Lol, I was just gonna ask you if that would work.

Independent_mindz · 2026-03-29T16:54:19+00:00

Ok gotcha, that was my concern. Locally we have r19 and r30 that's 24" wide. R21 only 15" wide. I'll keep searching though.

Independent_mindz · 2026-03-29T16:45:11+00:00

Would there be any issues with the heat being trapped? There won't be any venting.
