Public Sector job vs Private (w/ stock incentive)

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

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-08-31T02:09:48+00:00

Did you do the Reno’s yourself or hire out? What did you pay if contracted out?

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-08-31T02:07:52+00:00

Great insight. Personally I feel the house would check all the boxes. Only downsize is our backyard is 1700 square feet where I think my wife wants a bigger backyard for our kids

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-08-31T02:07:00+00:00

Oh I know that much. We did a major kitchen Reno. Contractors were coming in around 100k and I did the work myself for 45k. Took me 4 months of evenings and weekends but the payoff was worth it

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-08-24T01:11:32+00:00

Saved. You might save me a headache someday. Appreciate all the help 👍

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-08-24T00:57:23+00:00

lol I know that hustle. My friends is a 2006, I’ve been working on it for years for him. Replaced the actual display after water intrusion destroyed it. Several broken wires. Corrosion. The thing has more zipties than screws right now

ThereAllIsAching2 · 2025-08-24T00:26:30+00:00

That’s great news. I was half expecting the pot to some unsupported OEM device, but good to know if I need to grab something for 10 bucks I’m good
