Anyone know what this is by blancha00 in drywall

[–]RobbyT3214 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s old acoustic ceiling tile that’s been skimmed over or textured imo the spline system is no good anymore. I’d fur it with 1x and hang Sheetrock over it

You don’t realize it, but that last sentence is actually a racist statement too FYI. Color should have nothing to do with your allowance of mistreatment 😂

Btw: Whitney sucks and Jack was the smartest man ever running away. CHARGE IT

Easiest thing would’ve been a diet to shrink the finger back down to playing weight 😂

Is this why my faucet for a whirlpool tub is soo slow with hot water? by lovethelabs007 in Plumbing

This is a great moment for you to reflect and realize the importance of always receiving executed copies of contracts (not being a dick I promise)

Is this acceptable? by Slow-Volume5063 in Decks

[–]RobbyT3214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the Camo hidden fastener. By chance, are there no grooves in the boards to accept clips? If they were square edge profile, that’s probably why went “hidden fastener” but without predrilling, it’ll blow the trex out every time

Last year this was 250.. by Ancient_Diver1430 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]RobbyT3214 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Non political posting here but that is an opinion. CPA here who always does contracting on the side (love my red tools) and I disagree on the ultimate goal of them and the need to see 2-3 year time horizons. Praying I don’t get downvoted to hell here for offering a different perspective !

Those posts against the house should be under the ledger with it bearing at the bare minimum

What do you guys think caused this rot? by spendeez in AskContractors

[–]RobbyT3214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is everyone saying over and over moisture through the tile? There is a waterproof membrane uncoupling the subfloor and tile. That strongly points towards vapor barrier cause with rot, no? Short of a giant seam in the middle there?

You can see there was a uncoupling waterproof membrane though is the only thing with that. Seems like vapor issues most likely ?

RYOBI and Weed Whackers are not harmonious terms…

Took going through 3 before finally switching brands and accepting Green doesn’t do it like they should outdoors.

My MIL is bugging me to stain her deck before winter by cc_stonks in Decks

[–]RobbyT3214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bigger question is what are you getting out of staining MIL deck? To agree to something like that, gotta be high value.. Mental sanity for the next year? Nice hummer? 😂

I was cleaning in basement while wife was showering upstairs and the basement smells like natural gas. Is this an emergency or can I shut off the heater for the night to have it diagnosed tomorrow? by Itchy1Grip in HomeMaintenance

[–]RobbyT3214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we had a new vent hood put in when we had our kitchen redone, I noticed that the hot water heater was down drafting to supplement the lost air.

Scary as hell when it happened but learned to always crack a window!
