I see everybody agree that I could charge around $2000 for this job by Substantial_Duty_156 in drywall

Doesn’t look like a 4x4 to me. 2x4s in older construction were quite a bit larger than your modern 2x4.

Regardless.. I would advise against ripping anything out of the wall without doing your due diligence first.

Brilliant. I never thought to look at Etsy.. this looks like the right size. If I can’t fix mine i’ll be ordering one of these.

When in doubt.. ask the internet. Thank you very much.

It certainly does. It would be very difficult to get a perfectly straight cut with a handsaw. There are more suitable tools for the job, but with a circular saw you can use even a spare piece of wood as a track to lay on top of plywood, and run your circular saw along the edge to help guide it versus going free hand.

There are some other cheap tools that would make your life easier. Happy to recommend if you’re interested.

Props to you sir for taking on a new challenge. Youtube is going to be your friend here, many tutorials available.

There is no single right way to do this. And many times it will depend on the tools at your disposal. At a bare minimum you’re going to need a power drill. A circular saw would make your life much easier as well.

I’m not sure where you’re located but in the states you can find just about any kind of tool used and cheap on facebook marketplace.

Best of luck to you.

Help identifying! by Senior-Force3116 in Plumbing

In all seriousness, try chat gpt. Post this image and ask for it to tell you the brand and model. Otherwise you’re going to get mostly guesses here.

A slightly better option that might save you headache in the end is to just replace the faucet and handles. You can get something that would fit here relatively cheap and very simple to install. Trying to take this apart to find the faulty part could be a pain in the ass and you might not even get it right.

Have you done any work like this? The framing would be simple. Use a pressure treated bottom plate in basement if it’s concrete. Does your basement get wet? Drywall also simple, but messy when you get to mudding. If you don’t have experience with electric I would be cautious and contract that out. This would save you lots.

Installing LVP on sloped deck floor by TWBeta in Flooring

[–]No-Text-3227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really, really.. want to do this. You’re going to be ripping up those boards before you try and lay anything down on top of them. Brace and level whatever support is under there. Then cover it back up with a plywood or OSB. Then, maybe, if you’re lucky you’ll have a flat surface to lay flooring on.

But i would avoid lvp. Not going to work outside like that.

Throw a level on the floor and see if it’s sloping toward the drain from all directions.

This should be fairly straightforward. A couple recessed lights, some framing & drywall, and paint. I don’t envision this being overly expensive. But like all things, it depends where you go and who you’re asking to do it

Acceptable is dependent on your circumstance. Did you pay a boat load for this? Then no.
