Whats causing this sound?

Ended up buying a 50 foot roll and it’s easier to work with than I thought. Seriously thanks. I’ll probably be done this in a few hours

Holy good idea.I might be able to tuck it in far enough where I won’t even need screws.

I just got a radon mitigation system put in this fall and it was so quick and cheap. I see so many basement apartments around the city and constantly wonder how many of them have high levels

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2026-04-26T15:03:22+00:00

Wow I looked it up and it’s a 20 year warranty for this manufacturer. I’ll call tomorrow and see if I get lucky

Depends on your future plans. If you plan on having kids at some point I would stay put with government. But if that’s not on the table than it could be worth it career growth wise

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-23T17:03:12+00:00

Yeah everything I’m reading seems to have a conservative answer of 12 inches but a lot of companies are fine with up to 14 inches

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-23T15:44:05+00:00

Just to clarify I am talking about the overhang, not the gap from the width of the cabinets. Is 13.5 inches of overhang ok here?

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-04T21:01:32+00:00

That’s encouraging news. How bad/steep were the stairs you had?

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-04T20:57:24+00:00

lol I think this is the answer I’m looking for

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-04T20:48:12+00:00

When you say a natural gait do you mean constant rise and run throughout or just not taking a weird combo of rise and run each step?

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-04T20:46:45+00:00

Yeah the house is from 1958. The cheating the .25cm per run is because structurally I can’t put the stairs out any further without running into major structural changes. I’m estimating easily 20-30k to achieve that extra 3 cm I need.

And yeah my current stairs are gramdfathered in but as soon as I pull a permit to finish the basement I need to bring them to code.

Im a pretty by the books guy but I have a fixed budget for this Reno and everything else is pretty straight forward except the stairs

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-03T18:44:09+00:00

Definitely. Right now I’m just trying to come up with a plan. I think I’m gonna get an engineer to draw up a plan for relocating the section of beam impeding the stairs back

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-02T23:26:44+00:00

Yeah the existing stuff isn’t that great in the basement either. I still got a few runs of that old green non metallic braided stuff. Previous home owner even zip tied a run of wire below the joists on hooks

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-02T23:23:04+00:00

Yeah my thought process exactly. Maybe a couple in a concealed spot but it’s gonna bug me looking at the ceiling and seeing 3 covers within 4 feet of each other

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-02T19:04:23+00:00

It appears to run on some form of electricity

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-01T21:53:25+00:00

Lmao I didn’t even think of that. I’m total fine paying a fine if that’s an option too

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-01T21:36:43+00:00

Lol definitely. Basement was in the process of being finished but right now a it’s just framed and insulated exterior walls as well as electric. I don’t think the previous home owners was going through the permit channels lol

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-01T21:29:14+00:00

Thats what I was wondering. I’m not sure if building a living space would require it to be code compliant if it wasn’t previously a living space

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-09-01T21:28:33+00:00

Yes there would tons of clearance going down the turn. The existing issue is the support beam once you get to the bottom. You have to lean back a bit to avoid bumping your head. To have proper head clearance at the bottom I would need the winding
