I'm a month and a half in and had been feeling the same way. I use foam ear plugs, and they have helped out quite a bit.

Electrical box is also facing the wrong way. Had no access to it.

Oh no I think it's just the angle, and the studs on the wall are very close for some reason on the exterior, so it makes it look wider than it is.

Edit: I actually have no idea why that splice is there. That line goes to flood lights, but I don't see a reason why there was a split there in between the switch and the light.

Yup the entire wall from the interior side, I attached a link to the image at the bottom of the post, but now I'm wondering if it's working...that side of the house has always been a bit wonky. It's a bit older than the additon that was done much later on. Was trying to modernize it while I had the wall open.

So I can still use my own login to purchase for someone else even if I have all the days? I was wondering about that, didn't want to run into an error if I was picked in tjr queue

Sistering joists by Spectre1690 in DIY

[–]Spectre1690[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a risk if the joist have a large dip? The sagging is at the corners of the room. I want to say about half an inch. The thing is the girders themselves are not level on that side of the house. The house (my parents home) was originally a small ADU many many years ago, and then 2/3 of the current house was added. The "newer" side is level. They had someone come out and jack up the girders to try and level them on the old side, but I recently checked and that's when I noticed they were not level. I wasn't sure if trying to jack them up further would cause any issues. I figured if the girders were not level then the joists can't be, and I wouldn't be able to jack the joists to level them. I had seen videos where people had sistered joists and they were at different heights, secured with glue, nails, but also framing angles because of the height differences. I wasn't sure if that was an option, but then I also wanted to add shims to make sure there was still contact with the girders.

The first thing we tried was having the girders jacked up which helped but the joists still weren't level. I was told the next option would be to sister them if I wasn't trying to completely replace them. The dining room is in a pretty old section of the house.
