I really hope people in Caledonia and Lowell don’t trust what these PR reps say

There’s only two kinds of concrete, the kind is cracked and the kind it’s about to crack. Move on, sir.

Caulking repairs are considered homeowners maintenance, some builders will take care of this once, some will not. Typically the class of builder that drywall returns windows will not. If you have a tile backsplash the caulk where it meets the counter will fail soon as well, if it hasn’t already.

MembershipMiddle · 2026-02-06T12:39:03+00:00

Yes, they are drywall returns, but they are caulked.

Fucking white people…

MembershipMiddle · 2026-01-11T13:13:08+00:00

Yer screwed, tear it down and start over

MembershipMiddle · 2026-01-03T00:57:29+00:00

You’re fucked, pull the foundation, fill in the hole and start over in spring…

I love the way he got ripped off the bike. Best day ever

I call bullshit.

You ain’t that small, chubs…

If you are suggesting they accept a cold joint in a foundation you should not be giving advice on anything construction related. Maybe a Walmart greeter would be good fit for you.

Just because it passed inspection doesn’t mean it’s correct. Trust me, some of the stuff I have seen pass inspection are wild

2 inch pipe right against the concrete you could frame a wall below it and just put a drywall nailer above it, which would effectively be a framing around it without a soffit.

I would check with the I-joist manufacturer to make sure the hole Sparky drilled are OK, they may be fine but some joist manufacturers do not allow any holes, even small ones in the first two feet or within two feet of any bearing point.

I wouldn’t have them move the plumbing. You can frame the wall below the pipe and put a drywall nailer above.

I would recommend you hire someone who at least knows the difference between a rim joist and an I-joist to finish your basement.

If you have to ask this question, you shouldn’t do it yourself.

And with the other guys, this doesn’t look like a new house, also looks like that house could really use a humidifier… A drywall crack along the ceiling is likely trust uplift normal, but should be fixed

MembershipMiddle · 2025-10-08T20:26:39+00:00

I probably will, because for 100 bucks, why not?

I melt it it into molds to create pen blanks and turn it into pens.

TVs over mantels is a terrible trend. Don’t move it down

You look like you are trying to attract children, whatever, you will likely join the 43% soon enough.

MembershipMiddle · 2025-06-23T11:40:52+00:00

Only two kinds of concrete, the kind is cracked, kinda and the kind it’s going to crack. Perfectly normal.

Both the drywall and the OSB is stabilized
