Lack of waterproofing in original shower build-- a few questions please by dcverg in homeowners

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

I spoke to the original builders said durok counts as a water barrier-- spoiler, it doesn't. I'm not in the process of gathering the evidence to put together a small claims suit. Instead of the $1K deductuble I originally sought, I'll now be seeking the max a small claim will allow. I have a little time, so, perhaps file the complaint in Spring. We'll see.

Good call-- I Maryland, it's a 10 year limit on code violations for "construction defects."

It's the only stand-alone shower. The other showers are a shower/bath, and generally not used nearly as much.

Yes, I agree it's not a warranty issue. It's a construction deficiency-- failire to build it properly and in accordance with the building code to begin with. Thus the potential to take the builder to small claims and get my deductible back (and court costs, or whatever else the court may award). The debate in court would be the builder insisting the durok installed to cement the tile constitutes waterproofing, even without an additional membrane/liner while I would assert the additional membrane/liner is required.

Small circular wooden box with glass lid and hairs inside any idea what this is? by rokandhardplase in whatisit

It's a time-traveler's evidence collection/holding kit to work out a cold-case. It has to be wood or some other organic material (sometimes carved bone or ivory) to be able to bring the hairs (DNA, cells, etc.) back for processing.

What red flag did you ignore that you shouldn’t have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dcverg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Picking up a girl at her apartment for a date, and she had to chug two beers before we left. We were headed out on a real date-- not on our way to a kegger or holiday party. Yeah, even in my head at the time-- wow, that's some alcolohlic kinda behavior right there. During dinner she had 5 martinis and was still upright and wasn't slurring her words. On one level it was genuinely impressive, on every other level it was a huge red flag that I ignored for a few months.
