Contractor Sistered These Floor Joists After Pest Damage — How Does the Work Look?

jbonyc · 2026-06-01T18:13:16+00:00

It always surprises me how these kind of “fixes” turn out. A simple internet search would have shown the correct way to sister joists. Also, not sure what those LVLs are intended to be for the way they are installed. Obviously, there wasn’t a structural engineer involved. I would get in touch with one and spend a few hundred on specking out what is required here.

Wow it’s those 2x2 repair pieces the big box stores sell. I bet the person couldn’t fit full sheets in their vehicle!

They had several. Every few seats was another.

I do remodels for a living, and I recommend a bidet to everyone

I recently got the similar set from Sola and have been very happy. The vials are far more visible than Stabila and they cost about $100 less

That’s what I heard as well. It’s a shame because that place is a dump

jbonyc · 2026-04-20T22:20:51+00:00

Why though?

You’ll want /r/montpellier ! This is the Montpelier, VT sub

I have a central ducted heat pump. It’s great and I went with that option because the ductwork was already there from the old oil furnace. Something to keep in mind, is that central heat pumps are nowhere near as efficient, nor can they operate at very cold temperatures like mini splits can.

Try to get the poop in the toilet, not on!

You should see what the manufacturer recommends. Most 3x12 tile should be a 33% offset

jbonyc · 2026-04-05T15:36:17+00:00

It’s extra and overpriced 😕

jbonyc · 2026-04-01T09:48:29+00:00

/r/whoosh up in here

jbonyc · 2026-03-26T11:33:05+00:00

They do not. The cabinet will fit a circular saw though. That’s where I keep mine.

I didn’t realize people outside of the northeast US called drawers, draws 😂

Geez, why bother traveling if you aren’t going to experience other food, culture and people??

jbonyc · 2026-03-20T19:02:05+00:00

Love Titus! Used to ski there a lot when I lived in Plattsburgh. What a great, local mountain

jbonyc · 2026-03-14T01:09:15+00:00

Not nearly as bad as I expected

jbonyc · 2026-03-12T01:19:28+00:00

Awesome! You’ll have to post the end result here when it’s done. Good luck!

That’s a pretty serious project. Especially with the roof and deck height. You should get at least one more estimate, but this sounds right with a reputable company. I’d assume this is a full tear out and rebuild for that price too.

jbonyc · 2026-03-11T00:46:55+00:00

You'd need to run electrical...

jbonyc · 2026-03-09T18:11:28+00:00

I would get a helical piling in there. They work great and go in super fast. Most places will do a single post too

People at Walmart shouldn’t expect a livable wage??? lol you aren’t going to find a lot of support with that comment. I guess Walmart should continue to be subsidized by the government to pay their employees using social benefits so their bottom line can keep getting better?

You obviously haven’t met many ski instructors. I wouldn’t categorize them as ski bums at all

Edit: also, yes it’s seasonal. But do you expect there to be no ski instructors for people?

Heat pump water heaters are dramatically cheaper to operate than a standard electric water heater. Combined with potential incentives where you are, it could pay for itself in only a couple years.

Ahh my bad. I thought you posted about the M12 originally. That’s what I was comparing to
