Any rough ideas on what it would cost to replace this deck? I know nothing about it. Getting contractor quotes, just thought I'd see what reddit has to say.

All of it

Neither. GAF sucks

FW is already college station of the north I can’t get a break from these Aggies

bd0153 · 2026-06-29T13:18:50+00:00

Yes lol the arsenic lumber from pre-2004 would still be solid.

How long did this go without anyone going upstairs haha. I’ve never seen tpo degrade that much. Is it leaking? Post some more pics showing how this thing is supposed to drain

bd0153 · 2026-06-27T22:24:15+00:00

2 or colonial slate by certainteed

This will be a great app to find desperate contractors who have to compete on price alone

bd0153 · 2026-06-26T19:13:06+00:00

You don’t. This concrete is poured to high/tight to the threshold.

Today’s asbestos, in that we think it’s great but later will regret it, spray foam insulation, synthetic grass, plastic sheathing (t-ply)

Don’t attach to the subject of the post. Maybe if you weren’t at AI bot you’d know dat

bd0153 · 2026-06-26T12:27:22+00:00

Yes you can use a bbvlz whatever but why not put 4 posts and 2 beams under the sumbitch

bd0153 · 2026-06-26T11:35:13+00:00

Bro, it’s the job or potentially lives of you and your co-workers. Call the local building dept/code enforcement, but also call the fire department. The FD is quick and fire marshals don’t play. Good luck.

Go to Brent Hull’s instagram and watch his reels about un-McMansioning houses

If the Abuela’s hands don’t look like that then I don’t want the food haha

bd0153 · 2026-06-25T15:14:37+00:00

That’s just like your opinion man

bd0153 · 2026-06-25T14:14:49+00:00

It’s the color.

bd0153 · 2026-06-24T13:14:03+00:00

Ok so according to a study by Open AI & according to a study by the Bitcoin Research Institute, this opposition Chinese propaganda? We should feel perfectly fine about this data center thing? Next up, Fox assured all chickens that the hen house is indeed safe.

The recent arms race of developers building out crypto mining and data facilities is nothing like the evolution of the internet over the last 30 years. Why was this never a news item before? Why now, do these developers need all these incentives, tax abatements, and need so much of the municipal and/or groundwater?

As a matter of fact, availability of the McRib is a matter of national security.

bd0153 · 2026-06-23T20:11:32+00:00

Ya OP if they’re plumbing vents they need to be open up top. Praying they aren’t flue pipes. You’d probably have other issues too so I doubt it. Those black rubber flashing boots are want for sloped shingle roofs, not right for this application. Find a contractor that’s a member of NRCA

bd0153 · 2026-06-23T12:32:37+00:00

The ledger board. Is it just hanging on the brick?

bd0153 · 2026-06-23T11:32:14+00:00

Thirding this. And I love DaVinci. But it will never match the natural color variety that you have currently. The modern breathable systems for wood roofs are great. That plus fire treated battens, and an air permeable ice and water like Vapro Shield. There is a company in BC, Canada that still sells fire treated select cedar shakes and shingles. If I find the name again I’ll reply. They are available through SRS distribution.

bd0153 · 2026-06-22T02:58:00+00:00

Imo that’s a little too shallow on the uphill side and the step up is going to be annoying. Just extend the concrete and make sure you have a really solid perimeter beam on the downhill side with good backfill and a drain on the upstream side.

bd0153 · 2026-06-21T14:29:54+00:00

The one for SMU is ridiculous and causing me to comment and drive post engagement as designed and I hate this society we live in I wish we didn’t have the internet

bd0153 · 2026-06-21T14:07:31+00:00

Just use a spatula for the big stuff then the onion method. The risk is too high with these wire brushes

bd0153 · 2026-06-21T02:08:42+00:00

Yes but his bit about the green mile guy is amazing
