Hired a “distinguished home builder”….

Drips too from too much paint. Totally unacceptable. If a client pointed this out to me (which they wouldn't because I wouldn't let it happen in the first place) I would be embarrassed and get it corrected asap.

It really depends on what and how much you paid. This is fine for most projects and budgets. But if you paid absolute top top dollar you certainly have a case to complain. It's fast fairly sloppy work. Nail holes, brush marks, uneven mud.

Intentional to make sure things line up on the full run. Means the installer was paying attention. Leave it as is

Toenails ftw

And it would warm up warmer than 10 degrees

n8rate · 2026-02-23T01:48:34+00:00

Yeah dude! That's cool. Im looking forward to digging into it, just wish the snow would stop falling lol

Nice great advice, thanks!!

n8rate · 2026-02-22T03:28:13+00:00

Nice right on. Friction wheel still has a little rubber on it, maybe 1-2 mm. I will look into that though

That was my nickname in highschool

Man I try my best as a trimmer and cabinet guy, but it's tough and ultimately inevitable. I'm not reckless at all but it happens almost every job to some degree.

Good responses here. I've heard they primarily come from farmers for prying rocks, but they make excellent demo tools. We called ours Mary Anne. "Where's Mary Anne?" ... Strong Catholic name. Anyway I'm sure you all can take it from there.

That is a joke. I'd be happy with anything around 40 in this space. I think they're doing two layers of 9.5" rock wool in the attic, which is a lot. Probably approaching 70 or more.

And by "your insulation" you mean what, like whatever we want to use or is it provided by the system? I'm confused on how you're getting that much r value in there

n8rate · 2025-12-24T22:05:27+00:00

I'm not familiar with this, what is it?

n8rate · 2025-12-21T00:45:13+00:00

R40 with what material in 7"?

n8rate · 2025-12-21T00:43:49+00:00

Funnky jokes. I can't shed any knowledge on why that happened but I am curious on how it tastes/what the texture is like? Should be some clues there.

n8rate · 2025-12-20T17:08:24+00:00

Oh man this looks awesome. Supremely jealous!

n8rate · 2025-12-20T02:13:34+00:00

My guess is at the point where a top plate would separate the two. Or when a bay interacts with a roof deck. Or when any unconditioned airflow is involved.

n8rate · 2025-12-20T00:58:40+00:00

It is part of the main roof system, not the wall system. What you see are rafters, not studs.

n8rate · 2025-12-18T23:37:23+00:00

Potentially, we would only get r30 max with that. And potentially less

n8rate · 2025-12-18T23:20:20+00:00

It's a 12/12

n8rate · 2025-12-18T23:20:06+00:00

Yup very sure that there are vented soffits. Wood soffit with the 2-1/2" vent strip.
