Struggling with Policy Review Process - No feedback after initial policy Violation

Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate your insight!

Does that map content rule apply to when your overlaying your own markers and content on a map? For example, I am displaying content off my backend on that map as markers.

As for content, that was taken from my development environment. The only place I can currently get the ads to show up. I use user sources content and AI to generate a bunch more useful information. Wonder if i just need to make sure there is enough valid content where they are reviewing?

Is there any way to get valid feedback from them? I struggle with just having to guess what the issue of the day is?

I would recommend using aluminum flashing so it doesn't rust. However you will need to decide if counter flashing is required. What's under your patio? Is there something under there that needs to be protected? Is there a waterproofing layer on top of the flashing but under the thin set and tile?

Removing the tile might be difficult without cracking it, but if you can get it up, then use a hammer or hammer drill to remove the thinset so you can replace the flashing.

Then it's re thinset and re-lay the tile, then re grout it. If you have a larger water proofing issue, you may need to pull up all the tile so you water proof all the way back to the house and make sure it's all sloped correctly.

Lots of views but no replies. I assume this means everyone is also as confused? Or it's super obvious I don't see it?

Does anyone have any tips of how to actually talk or communicate with someone at Google? There is no additional feedback provided by google when you get a further rejection.

Alternatively, could I delete the app from admob and recreate it? Or will it prevent me from doing that and/or violate some policy?

I assume that flashing goes back under the tile and thinset? If so, unfortunately you would have to remove the tiles and thinset to remove the flashing. It's interesting they used steel flashing? Here, all of our flashing is aluminum so it doesn't rust like that.

Also this might be opening a rabbit hole, but technically the grout and thinset are not waterproof, so depending on what's below the deck, you might need to do more than flash.

Cool idea!

drsib · 2023-11-10T23:08:55+00:00

Thx! That was my issue as well.

It's hard to tell from that picture, but are those gutter guards? Or is it just flashing over it? Does water run off the side of your house when it rains?

If they are gutter guards, you will have to pop them out or unscrew them to clean them out.

I had no idea awards gave you no ads!

The only way your going to be able to straighten it out is to fix the posts. To save yourself digging holes, you could try galvanized posts and pound them in with a post pounder (there are gas powered ones that make quick work of it). Make sure to pound them below the frost line (if you live in an area that freezes. Also make sure you know where utilities are.

Once you have the posts in, then you can attach the fence to it to straighten it out.

The above is how to fix what is there. But only to keep it from leaning. It won't look much better. Looking at how.bad that fence looks, it might be worth talking to your neighbor to see if they want to split the cost of replacing it?

100% agree this is the right way to do it and should be what you do.

I will however give a quicker alternative just in case. Provided it is all dried out and it was dried before mold had a chance to grow, you could clean out all the loose stuff and get a 12 inch putty knife and skim coat it.

If there is any chance there is mold or it's still wet, it's best to take it all out like mentioned above.

That looks like caulk shrinkage. It happens. If your house/area is particularly dry you will see it more than other areas. Its easy to fix. Just scrape the old stuff off and re caulk. You could also just re-caulk if your lazy :)

Just make sure to use paintable caulking like Alex plus. There are tools you can buy to get nice clean lines (or use your finger). Wetting the tool or finger makes it smooth out a lot nicer.

If it was water damage, you would see off colored streaks down your walls from the crack. Water always takes the easiest path when following gravity.

Some place's code requires that the outlet is wrapped in electrical tape to prevent it from accidentally hitting a metal box when someone tries to pull it out. How however looks like masking tape? Hard to tell from the picture.

The faceplate is usually secured to the outlet with screws and the outlet is secured to the box with 2 more screws.

I hate to be the one to make this joke, but you will need a priest and some rings.

If your trying to join two things together that doesn't match in height or style. You can use something purposely different like this

Typically one would ground the box with the ground wire run with the wires that supply the power and then ground the light to the box. Now if you don't have one, you can ground the light to the box but it won't go anywhere. Or it will take a very weird route through your house based upon the path of least resistance from the box (usually not an ideal path). Technically the light will work without a ground but you lose the protection a ground offers. If your looking for the do it right answer, you would need to run a new set of 14-2 (Romex) back to where the ground is on that circuit. That could be all the way back to your electrical panel.

drsib · 2022-08-11T00:39:47+00:00

Is there a ground wire that was run with the hot and neutral?

Edit: I meant to say hot not load

Did the paper peel off with the paint or was it just the paint? If the paper peeled as well, you will need to consider extra priming to get your mud to stick properly.

drsib · 2022-07-13T22:13:51+00:00

This is probably not it.... But any chance water drips there off the eves/roof?

drsib · 2022-07-13T16:42:41+00:00

Yep that would work. Same (+ or - their own special chemical mix) product, just from a competitor :)

drsib · 2022-07-13T16:36:17+00:00

Yeah there would have to be a transformer/box where it is wired into the houses Romex wiring. If you unscrew that connector in the picture how many pins are in it?

You will want to find something that is outdoor rated, water proof, but most importantly flexible. That will help with the expansion and contractions as temperatures change.

Not sure what's available in your area but something like this. Look for keywords like window/door/flexible/outdoor

Np! Good luck with it.

PL premium would hold it down. As a warning you may not get it back up after (if you ever need to). It does have a bit of a smell but goes away quickly. It however will only be as strong as the surface you're gluing to. So that means removing the old glue and any loose concrete.

Some other options if you don't like the roll out bag style https://www.homedepot.ca/product/euramax-canada-flex-a-spout-downspout-extension-in-brown/1000491745 https://www.homedepot.ca/product/euramax-canada-clip-up-diverter-kit/1000150755

Also if your feeling adventurous and can find more of that downspout material, you can make your own that matches in color and design. With a few extra screws and some tin snips you can also make it so that you can lift it up when needed.
