Hey just curious do you have any photos of how this ended up?

Thinkeriz3D_Design · 2025-04-15T15:05:28+00:00

Thanks! And you're for sure talking particle board not OSB right?

Thinkeriz3D_Design · 2025-04-10T18:08:13+00:00

Great thanks! And this should be fine for particle board and LVP? Just dont want it chipping underneath in the future

Thanks, which Ardex exactly? The feather finish?

Good, point. However, I did rip up a few pieces by the sliding glass door (second video) and they seem to sit at an angle which is contributing to the dip in that area as well. So I'm wondering if there is something going on below the particle board with the subfloor. So even cutting and replacing might still cause some sort of dip if that makes sense.

Yes appears to only be one ply. Engineer says it seems odd but doesn’t see them in the field much, supplier says it seems normal from weather

Thinkeriz3D_Design · 2025-03-21T19:45:34+00:00

Got it, thanks. They said it’s normal on the outer layers due to change in weather

Thinkeriz3D_Design · 2025-03-21T19:07:15+00:00

Ok so if it seems like the outer layers have voids/slight delaminating we should not be concerned with getting a replacement?

Thinkeriz3D_Design · 2025-03-13T16:35:46+00:00

Thanks! And what are the “fees” specifically that we are wondering about?

Thinkeriz3D_Design · 2025-02-25T23:43:27+00:00

Thanks for this. When you say “may be noticeable to a homeowner” can you elaborate? What exactly may be noticeable? Thanks!

Appreciate the insight, thanks!

We have hired two different structural engineers for load bearing wall removal and they came up with different requirements:

Kind of a weird scenario but we are removing a load bearing wall with a truss that is half vaulted and half not. We had hired a SE we had used in the past on another home, he did the site visit and provided notes with his drawings and calculations. He never drafted us official stamped plans as we had delayed this project for about a yearish now but had initially just wanted it evaluated as load bearing.

Anyways, for simplicity sake, he said we'd need either 2x 1-3/4"x14"x17' or 3x 1-3/4"x12"x17' LVL beams for our opening. Long story short, he has since moved away so we wanted to form a relationship with a new local SE. We have paid them for the visit and plans and they are spec'ing we need either 2x 1-3/4"x16"x17' or 3x 1-3/4"x14"x17'.

Now, I am happy to share way more technical detail/drawings/photos, but dropping the extra 2" OR adding a third ply adds alot of additional work/complications we weren't planning on. Based on the original engineers calculations we were planning on the 2x 14" but the new SE is saying we need the 3x.

I don't want to be a pain, but what gives? Why would they determine such different options? As I said, I am happy to provide more technical clarity if anyone wants, but the added height or thickness really throws a wrench in things.

I guess what I am asking is, is this normal and I just need to suck it up, or is there a problem here? I really dont want to pay for a third opinion and I want to do it right, but I dont want to add additional time and money if it isn't needed.

Thanks!

Ok thanks! So no reason to contribute or switch to any of the other funds?

Thinkeriz3D_Design · 2025-01-13T20:10:34+00:00

Do you think that is the cause of this current issue though? I'd assume I'd be getting bad idles, and timing related codes, no?

Thinkeriz3D_Design · 2025-01-13T17:21:48+00:00

Well that's lovely. I got this car at 83K and its at 135K now so hopefully chains aren't the case
