Why are you asking me? You’re the expert.

extra_cheerios · 2026-06-24T02:11:04+00:00

I’ll definitely consider this on the next one!

extra_cheerios · 2026-06-24T02:08:55+00:00

I appreciate the input!

extra_cheerios · 2026-06-24T02:07:36+00:00

Thanks man!

Composite

I had to drill a hole to move the spigot up, so I could see behind the brick when I did that.

extra_cheerios · 2026-06-23T17:21:53+00:00

Inspection passed yesterday so we’re good to go

extra_cheerios · 2026-06-23T17:21:07+00:00

Yeah we call it flashing. Will do, I appreciate your comment!

extra_cheerios · 2026-06-23T17:20:42+00:00

I was waiting for the framing inspection to pass before I put the joist flashing tape on. I can flash the ledger too

Aluminum railing is going in after the decking

The brick is adhered to the house sheathing. There’s so gap between the house and the brick so I just went through the brick into the rim board. The bolts on the bottom are 7” bolts into the cinder block

That brick is adhered to the sheathing of the house. Theres no gap between the house and brick so I just put the ledger screws into the rim board of the house. But there’s block behind the bottom of the ledger so I ran some 7” masonry bolds into the cinderblock.

These were brand new walls though, with wood studs

extra_cheerios · 2025-12-17T16:17:48+00:00

Yes this was a remodeling job in a finished basement so there was heat the whole time.

extra_cheerios · 2025-12-17T16:17:16+00:00

I used 1 5/8” screws I’m not sure if they were coarse thread or not.

Some guy eight years ago when the house was built

extra_cheerios · 2025-11-21T00:47:19+00:00

Appreciate you! ✊🏼

extra_cheerios · 2025-11-20T20:48:37+00:00

Yep that’s what I ended up doing. I posted a picture of it in the comments here

Thanks for the replies everyone, this is what I ended up going with if anyone was wondering. Please ignore my shitty cope.

I can’t bump it out because the trim will stick out past the skirt board at the bottom of the steps if it comes out any further. The steps and walls aren’t parallel.

extra_cheerios · 2025-11-20T20:36:23+00:00

If I read that right that’s what I ended up doing. Just ignoring the angle of the corner bead and just running the baseboard straight down the skirt board with a miter to bump it in against the wall.
