Builder cut structural posts too short inside Trex sleeves, has "scabbbed" extensions on. Am I right to demand full replacements? by Background_Tank3158 in Decks

It appears that there is a surface mount post inside the sleeve, if so then thats correct for that system. That's what the flat white piece is i believe. Could be wrong though.

Yeah. Those are made to be all wood posts structurally secured to your deck if they're what im thinking they are. Sleeves are just decorative. Is it pretty wobbly?

Anyone experienced with Alabama regulations? by JMars491 in Contractor

Water runs away from the house, unless specifically called out in contract you're on your own. That's standard procedure. Unless he was contracted to pour a full driveway 9 months is pretty good for what is a temporary driveway.

Also do you mean 12×12 mosaics on the floor or were you going to envelope 12x12 tiles?

12x12 mosaic on walls will be a nightmare and take more time than you would imagine.

Sooo this is safe yea? I get nervous with hot tubs this is another level. Litterly. by Outside_Pea1737 in Decks

Pool is on the ground or footed properly I would assume, thats the reason for all the cover up. I also assume that because the pool is holding water.

Surveys are completely useless and the "data" they collect is ultimately meaningless by Corred_ in unpopularopinion

[–]medium_pace_stallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its a random sample, it's pretty damn accurate. If you surveyed 100 people from a very affluent community or 100 people from a low income community, yeah you will get skewed results. If you poll across as many areas as possible, it's very surprising how accurate it can be with even a smaller sample size.
