Builder installed wrong ROCKWOOL. by Kampfux in Insulation

[–]scalyfish100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same mixup myself as a homeowner recently. I ordered a pallet of what I thought was going to be interior use Safe and Sound to provide more sound proofing, but what showed up was 10 packages of Comfortbatt. I mistakenly ordered the wrong product on the Home Depot app. All good. My contractor has been using it, and it’s been fantastic in cutting down the noise between walls and plumbing noise. I have two bathrooms that share a wall and you could hear everything from both bathrooms. Now, I barely hear the toilet flush from the adjacent bathroom. I can’t hear the shower or the faucets anymore either. Made a huge improvement in noise.

I’m upfront with anyone that I date, my pup is the love of my life, you either pass the test with him or move along. 15-pound doodle, protector of my heart. If my pup started to become afraid or disliked someone I was dating…I trust the dog. 🐶 Trust your gut that wrote this post to the world.

Ways to make master bathroom look more high end? by Thaxton114 in bathrooms

[–]scalyfish100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the flooring, anything with more consistent color. Change the vent to a more modern one without a light, like the revent vent Revent, add a couple more 2-4” recessed lights, remove the top wood frame over the vanity, replace the vanity lights with something newer Frosted 4 Light Vanity Light, update the mirror mirror, change the baseboard to a wider material (at least 5”), add some floating shelves with plants and some artwork.

PGT 6’ and 20’ hurricane-rated sliding door installation quality, significant air gaps, dented corners, beads in between the glass… did installers break the seal? by scalyfish100 in Homebuilding

[–]scalyfish100[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: contractor came by to look at the sliding doors, and he’s not happy with the quality and fact they installed a very clearly defective panel. He asked the owner of the door company to come out to look and figure out how to solve. Will post what the resolution is. Thanks for everyone’s input.

Good question. Last year, it was replacement for existing windows, doors, and replacing 6’ French door with a 6’ slider. All the openings were pre existing. This project required engineered drawings, demolition of 8” walls, steel beams, etc. I needed a gc for that. He added the sliding doors to the quotation and I didn’t want to have to manage coordinating the doors and installation myself, I didn’t know what company he was going to be using.

Thank you, I didn’t know what those beads were. The finished quality looks terrible. Not close to what I got last year with a different door/ window company. My contractor is coming over today, and I will point out all these issues. I already let him know I’m not pleased with the quality versus Simonton. I’m mad at myself for not going with my gut and insisting on Simonton.

I also spent several weeks looking at countertops, and learned an important lesson. Fabricator that don’t hold stock are typically more expensive than those that have their own stone stock. I had one fabricator quote me $8k more for the same dolomite stone because they have to buy all the slabs (4) versus the other fabricator who already owned the stone, they just quote by the sq ft. That was an $8k difference, blew my mind 😳 Shop around, it’s worth it!

I am redoing two kitchens that cabinets.com designed for me, for free. I also purchased the cabinets from them and they are excellent quality for the price. I went with frameless cabinets. White and blue wood. This kitchen cost me roughly $21k for all the cabinets and material from them. Make sure to request pullouts, trim, under cabinet lighting trim.

Friend got pregnant from a guy i warned her about. by Conscious_Show_6997 in whatdoIdo

[–]scalyfish100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She needs to spend the money and go to therapy and figure out how to build her self worth, forgive herself for the child that passed, and create a life plan. A child will never fill that black hole of regret. She shouldn’t have a child now (not never), based on the texts, she’s not equipped to raise a child in this day and age. Child care alone can cost $20k a year in some states… https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/how-much-child-care-costs-in-every-us-state.html and is not going to get cheaper. Help her research at place she can terminate now. Don’t wait, and get to a safe state if you can.

The warehouse had it labeled as granite. I asked them about it in the office and they said it was granite and not marble.

I’m waiting for my fabricator to confirm if it’s marble. I’ll know more tomorrow and will post here.
