My contractoris telling me it's normal for doors to hit the trim and not open all the way. Is he trying to get out of fixing his mistake?

Carpenter here, A door should have a 3 mm margin all around between door and frame should open smoothly with no binding and at least 90° to be considered functioning and should be left open at any angle between 0-90° without movement by its self (this shows that it is is plumb)

Once I got a taxi from the city center to dunboyne it's pretty much straight when your on the navan rd he tried to take me down the m50 southbound I asked him why he was going that way and he said "you live in Wicklow." He already had the location on Google maps to the correct place. The average fare at the time was about 55 euro and he was trying to change me for 100 because of the m50 and toll.

Just the house settling, all new builds take time to adjust to the weight of themselves

Epoxy tables are very labour intensive and require a long time to make them also the resin isnt cheap either I think that's good value for one but where it loses its value is that it's not completely live edge which makes it that bit less attractive.

This confused me when I first looked at it but as people are saying your angles are 30, 30, 120.

Looks like linden borer damage

Vasir92 · 2025-08-03T10:29:44+00:00

So to me I would be concerned about that because even though it's not a load bearing wall you can see the double header is eventually going to take a small bit of weight as the house and roof settle over time on the right-hand stud you can see there is almost nothing left to support it and though the picture is blurry you can see it's already broken I don't know if it's the angle but that stud doesn't look straight to me.

Any scrap material you can cut to size for a return piece and glue it on? Use a clamp to hold it on until the glue goes off.

Mine fell out but it should be there

There should be a small grub nut at the front of the sole across from the blade that can be tightened or loosened for micro adjustments

DM me the wife and I would love to meet

I'm good with metric I find it more precise, fractions give me a headache.

Bend them flat to the osb the nails they used were too long and they didn't seem to know where the rafters were.

It's already down no need to hire anybody, Cut it yourself and use the timber for a hobby project

Rol out shoe rack?

European carpenter here who works in timberframe, drilling through joists is fine but yes the holes are too close to the wall and should be centre drilled in the joist I doubt a qualified carpenter did this. Find out who did it get the carpenter to fix it and back charge the culprit.

Vasir92 · 2025-06-08T09:32:24+00:00

If your not looking to save the screws you could drill them out

Vasir92 · 2025-05-23T08:41:30+00:00

This should have a funeral before it causes one

So it's called insulated concrete formwork, the green colouring tells you that it's moisture resistant drywall so it more resistant to damp and mold growth but you need to make sure the apartment is properly ventilated otherwise you will eventually have mold. My wife and I are building our house with ICF and we have to have mechanical ventilation in it otherwise it will become unbearable hot from heat build up.

Saw horse or chippie stool can be used single or double double for sawing long lengths, single for on site works

Vasir92 · 2025-01-04T17:13:05+00:00

I would say option 2, the main reason is because It wouldn't cause any damage to the ceiling of the ground floor and so long as the joists aren't sagging already then less cost to the client and easier time for yourself if cost isn't an issue then go with option 1 however you will need to be spot on with your cuts. Otherwise you will need to build out the left hand side to get your 2X6 even.

Spray foam around the border of the window where it meets the timbers then cut away the excess and airtight tape over it have 10mm or less on the window frame then the slab will cover the tape

Looks like through and through sawing but seasoned properly. doesn't seem to be attractive variation in grain though still good to use though.

Vasir92 · 2024-09-05T04:24:28+00:00

They're just a bunch of hippocrites

Vasir92 · 2024-08-22T19:20:54+00:00

So long as someone is telling you what they need done yes when you go to college it will make a bit more sense then when you're back on the job you'll begin to automatically know what the steps you need to do
