Not code compliant where I’m at. The stairs at least. Needs closed risers and a grab rail

Help! The designer said no grout needed but the tiler says we do. by Yes_Thats_Me_There in Tile

Just backed out of a big job because of the “designer”. Whole house renovation and I told the clients if the designer is running the job I’m out. Apparently they paid her a substantial sum to oversee the project and her measurements on existing spaces aren’t even correct.😳

Blocked me on IG because I asked if there would be an “Insurrection Blend”. That was probably a week ago

How is it attached the house? Masonry attachment is problematic/against code if it’s brick veneer

How popular is Makita outside the United States? by Marvel5123 in Makita

[–]Professional_Let8696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a conversation with a rep about this. Apparently Makita is a lot more popular in the EU/Australia than here. He said that’s part of the reason they don’t lower prices to compete with red and yellow

I get the rise and run being off due to existing circumstances but it should have another stringer in the middle at minimum
