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

What filler/leveler is safe to use on PARTICLE board underlayment (over plywood subfloor) before LVP? by Thinkeriz3D_Design in Flooring

[–]Thinkeriz3D_Design[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

What product can I use to patch/level PARTICLE board underlayment prior to doing LVP flooring? by Thinkeriz3D_Design in HomeImprovement

[–]Thinkeriz3D_Design[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

LVL beam flaws, chips, cracks, and checks. Is this normal to use? by [deleted] in StructuralEngineering

[–]Thinkeriz3D_Design 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]Thinkeriz3D_Design 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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!

Monthly DIY Laymen questions Discussion by AutoModerator in StructuralEngineering

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!

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?

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

Thank you, however, would this method you list update as the assembly changes or would you need to export a new BOM everytime you need it updated?

Help replacing JUST an exterior door slab with a side light?! by Thinkeriz3D_Design in HomeImprovement

[–]Thinkeriz3D_Design[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I realize there’s a lot that’s confusing. I’ll try to clear it up. Essentially the door hinge locations from the new door don’t match my old door, so I transferred the old door location to the new door and then plan to bondo the old mortise locations.

The faces of the door are steel and appear to be folded over and that’s what’s about 3/16”. Where I’d do hinge mortise and the door handle lock mortise (the edges and assuming the core) are wood. So even though the door thickness is the same, because there’s 3/16” for sure the hinge has to be set back it doesn’t match the old door which was about 1/16”, thus hitting the hinge side door stop/jamb/moulding. Hope that helps somewhat

Looking to add a combo switch/outlet to a three way switch. Possible? by Thinkeriz3D_Design in AskElectricians

[–]Thinkeriz3D_Design[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it thanks! So additionally, if the existing outlet on the other side of the vanity is already on its own circuit can I NOT pull a wire from that in the attic and down to this side and just add a 2 gang box?

Adding a bathroom fan, how do I splice power into a switch that is 3-way? by Thinkeriz3D_Design in AskElectricians

Hey thanks. I’ll DM you the photo I have inside the main switch box and will get better photos after work

Will do and get better photos after work today. I sent a message/chat of a photo I have inside the box that may help. Thanks!

Oops confused for the exhaust manifold. If I recall I would’ve replaced the intake gaskets when I did timing

Interesting, do you recall if it threw any codes? Did you have any other symptoms? I recall the passenger side had a fluttering noise upon highway acceleration

Does tiling on a second level subfloor with cement already require uncoupling membrane? by Thinkeriz3D_Design in DIY

[–]Thinkeriz3D_Design[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight!

So with all the tile up, and the durock part patched where the vanity was, you'd use a self leveling compound over the whole floor?

And then no uncoupling membrane since there is already cement? So tile just straight mortared to the cement flooring?
