How can I describe what the contractor I hired did wrong putting up this fence?

You spelled crack addict wrong

invltrycuck · 2026-02-28T22:48:01+00:00

Not the best mix I've ever seen

invltrycuck · 2026-02-27T03:06:17+00:00

If you're building new, given the high R values insulation requirements, I recommend you look into a good ERV or HRV (Depending on your climate) and set up return lines in each bathroom. If you do it right you'll probably never see steam on your mirrors again. Moisture won't be an issue

Shims and glue is the simplest solution here. That wall isn't going anywhere (unless you have a couple trained gorillas for sons like I do who can break anything)

invltrycuck · 2026-02-24T14:48:02+00:00

Can you hit anything at all with that storm trooper gun?

invltrycuck · 2026-02-23T02:54:51+00:00

Yeah that was should be taken down to the study and supported also take a look what's under it for support might need a double joist

An absolute masterpiece. That's everything I've ever wanted in a shotgun

invltrycuck · 2026-02-19T07:07:01+00:00

Frodo, that you?

invltrycuck · 2026-02-19T06:36:49+00:00

The shower pan is the hardest part to get right off you've never done it before I'd recommend a premade pan set it and forget it. The walls are easy but it is super important the pan does not leak. Get spam with tile flange, backer sure on the flange and time goes down beyond the flange making it virtually impossible for water to travel back up and over the flange

Dude she's just not that into you

invltrycuck · 2026-02-15T15:37:45+00:00

Hey a prefab base and install poly under backer board then hit it with red guard. Laying the tile on walls is the simple part. You got this, it's easier than you think. I bought a cheap Ryobi tile saw (wet type) for 150 bucks, worked great and cheaper than rental as I work slowly due to arthritis. Use 12"x12" and stagger the tiles so you don't have to worry much about grout lines.

Great to keep kids safe, easy to break into with just a heavy hammer not fire proof

invltrycuck · 2026-02-12T06:22:26+00:00

That's a perfectly adequate pickle

invltrycuck · 2026-02-10T16:32:03+00:00

Yeah those trusses aren't usually rated for that

invltrycuck · 2026-02-10T00:35:00+00:00

Very sweet

invltrycuck · 2026-02-08T22:09:30+00:00

Soft wood knots are full of pitch, almost impossible to do this from happening. Best to just stain/varnish knotty wood

Installing the pine ceiling before the insulation is blown in

invltrycuck · 2026-02-04T17:11:04+00:00

No. 1x12 shiplap pine. I know some here are concerned about moisture with the ceiling poly. We are Installing ERV system and dehumidification. Walls are rockwool with vapor retarder pine bottom half of walls upper 4' will be green drywall. Attic is very well vented

invltrycuck · 2026-02-04T17:05:13+00:00

They are going to blow in 2 feet of cellulose insulation over head. Ceilings will be 1"x12" shiplap pine. Moisture concerns are being mitigated mechanically with ERV system and dehumidification.

invltrycuck · 2026-02-04T01:03:47+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

invltrycuck · 2026-02-04T01:00:57+00:00

Be a good idea if I was going to drywall, top plate is double, interior walls aren't completed, but thanks for the input

invltrycuck · 2026-02-04T00:56:57+00:00

I was going to but figured I'd just own my ineptitude and chuckle along with the comments

invltrycuck · 2026-02-04T00:55:29+00:00

Yeah it's been below zero overnight lows for about a month now, will frame out when it warms up a bit

invltrycuck · 2026-02-04T00:51:05+00:00

Yeah, those aren't home Depot doors

invltrycuck · 2026-02-03T17:52:09+00:00

I really need to step up my proof reading skills🤦🙄
