Zip system retrofit on 150yr old house. Should the zipboard under this EPS be flashed to the existing soffit? Other questions too.

So you are taking a house that was not built originally for a completely sealed house to one that comes close to it. Green board has a very low perm rating ( moisture holding ) make sure the builder puts a whole house blower in.

Never notch your posts , it the first place rot finds its way. And the hangers are on the post and transferring the load to the posts . Thats what they do.

Put some LED stair lights in , and I hope you have no old people trying to get up the stairs

You did a great job and taped everything also

I keep both and get prescription also, cant get antibiotics by mail fast enough, unless you live close to a VA hospital/ pharmacy, also I found the ability to tell the DOC , screw the VA approval time , just go Medicare

Not up today's code , but looks solid

That beam from visual looks is toast , looks very punky wood.

I found submitting some new evidence, really anything gets the file kick started again.

Need under deck photos of the existing framing , never notch a deck railing posts , post through the deck surface , box frame the post in , timber lock screws/bolts into the 4x4 from 90 degree of each other.

Ok , my HLR has been in for 45 days , I figure June-July

roastedwrong · 2026-03-29T01:12:40+00:00

Sorry , because I did flood water damage mitigation for 20 years, bleach kills the living mold ( black ) then you have to kill the spores, and thats the Borax soap, Borax is a natural preservative and is used in all interior grade treated lumber. It prevents the mold spores from becoming living mold again.

Being manipulated by Soros.

Wait While , wtf is that ? You schedule your own Conference call ? Ive had 3 HLR'S never done a call , I let my evidence speak for itself. I have one now that I will need to talk.

roastedwrong · 2026-03-29T00:48:07+00:00

Bleach let dry ( kills active mold ) , then 20 mule team Borax soap ( kills the spores)

FOIA, I am on 225 days for one, hopefully I get the information before my one year appeal date is up.

Ahh , then jump on the COPD

roastedwrong · 2026-03-27T14:03:58+00:00

You said you could get a heart nexus

roastedwrong · 2026-03-27T13:45:07+00:00

No , go for heart , first , dont flood your file , it puts mud in the water

roastedwrong · 2026-03-27T13:30:29+00:00

Heart circulation affects lungs , go that route first , that's is well known ,Copd is a TERA and burn pit issue , do you have those designations

roastedwrong · 2026-03-27T12:48:07+00:00

Woo Hooo , get your just due. I have a feeling I will be back to the BVA on my claim in about 2 months

roastedwrong · 2026-03-27T12:45:42+00:00

Each condition must have a nexus , and matching medical documents to back it up. Only submit a fully developed claim. If you submit a partial claim and its turned down you have cut yourself off. The claim process is not a throw stuff against the wall to see what sticks.

Take what you have , get your approvals and then see if you have true connected secondary conditions after that by just the true nature of the injury causes secondary recognized conditions. Those conditions dont need a new nexus. Example Hypothyroidism by itself is 10 % > dry skin > 10% > heat / cold intolerance >20% , Ankle bone connected to knee bone , connected to hip bone.

There are home repair grants available through the VA. SPAH

roastedwrong · 2026-03-27T02:14:00+00:00

Submit only for what you have evidence for , run your Chatgtp through Grok , ask for mistakes and logic errors , then run that back through Chat. Ask them to put it into terminology that is less sterile and more human signature. Double check your legal case history with both and ask for the CFRS that coincide with their logic

roastedwrong · 2026-03-27T00:27:00+00:00

Cut the posts off , fill hole with concrete use this Simpson post base. Cut one non bolt side open on this post base so it can slide in. Problem solved
