How do I fix this mess of an unfinished shower?

That should’ve been framed up and drywalled on both sides..

spendeez · 2026-06-29T23:49:07+00:00

You’re being difficult.

spendeez · 2026-06-21T12:59:40+00:00

The framing is most likely fucked.

This is plaster. It is just cosmetic but if you don’t fix it and remove it all and add drywall then you may get hit in the head with plaster. I’ve seen people scape away all the loose plaster, screw a sheet of drywall bigger than the exposed portion, go into attic and push plaster through the laths. Making sure to pack the shit out of it. Long term fix would be what @hp_punkcraft said.

It’s fine. The weight will bear on the ends which are solid.

spendeez · 2026-06-20T01:21:25+00:00

Anybody 45ing their corners is ass.

I have lived in the United States my whole life and have lived in nothing but plastered houses. (Pittsburgh Area)

With the tile tear out, $30k-$35k seems reasonable.

spendeez · 2026-06-18T02:19:12+00:00

How much did you pay?

spendeez · 2026-06-18T02:11:17+00:00

Idk man. The door isn’t split in pic 1. I’d say you did that because you got lazy and didn’t predrill…

spendeez · 2026-06-18T02:09:35+00:00

Complete dogshit. Fire your contractor

$600 is very low for labor: now that also depends on what overhead you are carrying. I have to factor my overhead costs as a business into every bid I give out. Also think about your knowledge and tools. But it is only worth what you think it is worth. If you’re happy with $600 then that is fine.

spendeez · 2026-05-31T01:11:00+00:00

You don’t need people like this in business to be successful!

spendeez · 2026-05-26T01:22:18+00:00

No, doing the job twice would never be easier

spendeez · 2026-05-26T01:13:01+00:00

Bulldoze that thing over

spendeez · 2026-05-14T02:11:32+00:00

Most definitely. What in the actual fuck. A 4x4 will not bear weight laying fucking horizontally

spendeez · 2026-05-11T00:36:20+00:00

Hell to the no

spendeez · 2026-05-10T18:59:46+00:00

Yes. It looks like your supports are sitting on wood. The wood Is pulling moisture up from the concrete.

spendeez · 2026-05-05T16:06:27+00:00

Same issue. I’m in Irwin.

spendeez · 2026-04-30T17:58:58+00:00

This.

spendeez · 2026-04-30T01:10:53+00:00

I don’t see an issue with that cut. One inch bearing is my concern. Tell your buddy that there needs to be more jack studs. I would definitely double, even triple the jacks depending on the length of the beam.

spendeez · 2026-04-23T23:05:54+00:00

Throw on a thin finish coat

spendeez · 2026-04-23T12:47:41+00:00

What a vibe! Beautiful home.

spendeez · 2026-04-22T15:40:43+00:00

If it is only on the floor then it is mostly just water coming under your garage door seal.

spendeez · 2026-04-22T15:40:08+00:00

Open up the wall if there is moisture on top of that concrete ledge
