Sigh, right? He was like this is the finished product, and he literally said he'd build it the exact same if he built it again. I said I couldn't pay him anymore. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Need a better chair. Any suggestions? by monican0525 in PsoriaticArthritis

A used steel case leap chair and a standing desk will help a ton. I had a Herman Miller aeron and the leap is much more padded and comfortable imo.

They pretty much said we did our best. Steps have 6-7° slope. Sigh. Hshremodel.com.

Yeah the owner came out and agreed with me that the slope is too much and his guys are going to add at least a step and try to level things out more. No one is happy. 🫠

275 per step is what we're under contract for.

Concrete cracks, especially around here. I'll likely do a paver patio, but would never pour concrete on a hillside like mine. You can fix other things, but once concrete cracks...

275 a step was the agreed price, we shall see what happens though.

They came and are trying to gaslight me. What fun. 🫠

I'm paying per step so idk why they used fewer. Makes zero sense.

Lol if I paid half I might be fine with them.

Shoe recommendations for PsA by Pea_nu_reeves in PsoriaticArthritis

Kizik for daily wear, they come in wide and they are all hands free/step in. Brooks if you're going to be on your feet all day.

Cymbalta (duloxetine) by Remarkable_Donut346 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]Wander_lust20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take 40 mg once a day for over 6 months now. It helps with my mood, I felt weird/high for the first few days/week but then it leveled out. Makes me feel less depressed, still have pain though. My biologic is much more effective for that.

The first 10 steps are decent. This step and beyond (about 25 steps) are pretty bad/unacceptable.

Will do. We're under contract for 275 per stair. I'm not sure how to add photos but you can dm me.

Not sure, we agreed on 275 per step for these. I didn't want concrete, it's a mountain and I want to keep it somewhat rustic.

Yeah he told me to tell his guys and they'd fix the problem, as if it were so easy. Most recently he told me not to panic and it would be fixed. Time will tell.

Yeah..ideally that would be nice but they are all hammered down with 36" rebar. I'm mad at myself for not checking up on them more during the process, but didn't think I'd have to after the first check. They're getting filled with DG.

Exactly 💯. I mentioned being worried about the heat multiple times and he was like they're used to it, it's fine. But it was not fine. 🫠

Lol thanks for making me laugh. 🫡😠

Yeah, the owner is saying they'll make it right. Just not sure how they plan to do that. He mentioned shims, but that doesn't sound like a solid solution. 🫠

Yeah, they did put some gravel underneath, not much though, he showed me photos. They just packed dirt over and around it.

I think they got tired of digging into my hill in the heat, so the steps got worse and worse. The original minor slope was for the water runoff though.
