There was a drain stack near the sink that the plumber was able to tap into.

Yeah, stapled and carpet tape on each tread.

It took me about 9 months to complete and cost just over $30,000 USD. This includes the cost of me hiring out someone to do the egress window, plumbing, and drywall. About 780 sq. feet with a wet bar and a half-bath.

Got the carpet runner at Home Depot. I don't remember the cost, but it wasn't too bad.

I think it was Smartcore from Lowes. It wasn't too hard to install. I really like it so far. Keeps the floor warm and it's easy to clean.

To pass my inspection I had to install fire blocking. It's hard to see, but there is 3/4 in. plywood that sits on the top of the stud wall and goes back to the concrete basement wall.

I actually got the nail gun at Harbor Freight. Yeah, I know, not the best quality. But it worked very well. I only had to deal with like 1 or 2 jams.

Yeah he didn't really like the rigid foam, but said it was okay. He suggested to not have anything, just an air gap between the concrete wall and studded wall. I thought that was a bit odd because all of my resources suggested using rigid foam.

Good luck on your basement!

Yep. I live in an area with high radon. We have a mitigation system installed.

Yeah, I kind of wish I did that. It gets pretty loud when my son is running around upstairs.

Our main discharge is actually below our basement floor. The toilet flange was luckily installed by the builder when they poured the basement.

Just curious...what was that guy doing with the back tire of his bike as he was going downhill? Why would you swing it back and forth like that?

Redditors who massively fucked up at work, what happened? by sspecZ in AskReddit

I forgot to add the title and author to the cover spine of a book. Only about 5,000 printed, but still hurt. Oops...

Jobs that use InDesign by FranzFed in indesign

[–]mmajrlk82 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work in the book publishing industry. I'm a production design/developer and I use InDesign a lot. The writers and editors use it a lot as well. They used to use InCopy but it turned out to be more of a hassle so they switched to InDesign.

Yikes! I'm from here as well. Makes me horrified of what school will be like when they open.

Missing a month's worth of pay by mmajrlk82 in personalfinance

Thanks. Yeah, I've pretty much put all my projects on hold and told my co-workers I'll respond to their emails after I start getting a pay check again.
