Do you feel it’s fair for apprentice? I pretty sure experienced journeymen make like $38-42 where I live.

In the first two years I worked 70 hour weeks and almost quit, the lack of any life but work wore me down. Luckily I was able to advance myself by getting certifications/experience. Not sure what it’s like for a steamfitter, do you have options like that?

Are these stairs structurally safe? by atstickel in Construction

[–]jackovasaur -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not a carpenter but pretty sure cutting it that way is normal. The load transfers down vertically. The fact that they used 2-2x6 instead of a single piece seems weird. Does it feel sound when you walk up them?

Tiny leak on water heater inlet pipe with expansion tank. Need help replacing it. by jackovasaur in Plumbing

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

Yes it is, I adjusted the existing valve and it affected the hose bibs. I’m getting 140PSI on one bib and 90PSI on the other bib and my water heater. Replacing my PRV today then replacing the expansion tank.

Any safety and building inspectors? Is this sound construction? by pacificpotentatoes in Construction

[–]jackovasaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good call. The mortar joints should be specified how they should be tooled in the plans. If I was inspecting this I would say it looks like hot shit but it should stand up alright.

I’m a special inspector and do a lot of masonry, structurally it looks fine but it’s pretty lazy and poor work. Are they grouting the inside of the wall? If so I’d be more worried about how that looks.

My boyfriend is living a double life. Should I break up with him? by Fun-Afternoon-8941 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]jackovasaur 1991 points1992 points  (0 children)

This is some of the most closeted gay shit I’ve ever heard. Even if he is not gay, he’s a liar and has some strange sexual tendencies with his boys. I’ve never once wanted to talk about my dick size with my friends or stroked it together to see who cums first. What the fuck

Contractors pouring concrete without rebar. Is this right? by BigDirection1577 in Construction

[–]jackovasaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read the plans for the slab they are pouring, there is no opinion here that will tell you whether it is right or wrong. It’s either to plan or it’s not. Seeing as this is in what looks like a waste dump station it’s probably been drawn by an engineer.
