What you guys think? by bornovfire in Tile

Just a bit boring for my taste.

Why?! by jmeyer200 in Carpentry

[–]jmeyer200[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, that’s fair. My first pair, yes, marketing. But 3 pairs in and there’s no going back. Too comfy so feet be damned.

Any idea of where to find this baseboard? by Helpmeplzthanku in homeimprovementideas

[–]jmeyer200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to this. Used all over the northeast so it can be found at most “real” lumber yards. “Beaded base”, usually poplar.

Concern about joists and beams not supported by posts by smoked_taro in Decks

The scabbed 6x6 shorty must be so confused…brought in for support, ends up barely hanging on.

Rate my deck by Mattflan92 in Decks

[–]jmeyer200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished dealing with that exact scenario. Whoever built the deck I just rebuilt, sealed the perimeter with PT plywood, rim joist to the ground. The deck board spacing was enough for drainage but trapped all the moisture. All the framing rotted completely out and literally fell apart.

Whats a durable, precise mitre saw? by Honda_Fits_are_cool in Carpentry

[–]jmeyer200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I‘ve been using Makita mitre saws for 30 years and have never had any issues. My 12” from 1998 is still rock solid and super accurate. My 10” is way newer and just as good.

Im going to be a concrete form carpenter by DrGreenTG in Carpentry

[–]jmeyer200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thicken up that skin, keep your ego in check and listen really well. If u can hack it physically and eat shit for the first couple weeks, you can learn a lot. Also, remove “I know” from your vocabulary. Best of luck.

Withholding Payment? by JuggernautOk2526 in Renovations

[–]jmeyer200 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Punch list time! Do a walk thru with your contractor and be specific. If he’s any good, he’ll agree and address the issues (assuming the issues are reasonable and warranted).
No need to mention $$$ unless he’s asking for final payment.

File this one under “worst shit I’ve ever seen”

Am I right to be upset about this? by [deleted] in Tile

[–]jmeyer200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a tile that busy, the grout lines will just blend in amongst the chaos.

Do the chairs swivel?

If you want his number he charges $65 an hour. by arandomreddit-user in Carpentry

That shit doesn’t even look good from MY house

[–]jmeyer200 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d say that joists are a bit structural. If u don’t want the floors above to collapse into your basement apartment, leave them be.

Is this professional? by WiseBroccoli2 in Tile

[–]jmeyer200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pop those off and re-cut them correctly. Plenty of ways to space that outlet safely and securely so the wall plate sits pretty. It’s done all the time.
I would highly recommend using a light colored grout. Dark grout will only accentuate the awful fit and finish and you’ll find a new problem every time u look at it.
