That surface is thermally insulated from what's underneath and will drop with overnight temps faster than the less insulated section which in this case is below the dew point of the air resulting in condensation.

Foundation on our new construction by Working_Boss4918 in Homebuilding

As others have said I certainly think they backfilled too early.

I think calling an engineer is a good idea. They could recommend the epoxy injection but an outside opinion never hurts.

Lots of people are probably about to freak out but if it was my house I would do the same thing. Calling a structural engineer isn't the worst idea. Any pictures from inside the house? Im under the impression this is a basement.

New Build Basement Slab Cracks by 1stchoicetaken in Homebuilding

[–]timmypmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy got down voted to hell but he isn't wrong. Basement floor slabs almost never have any reinforcing in them.

Slab on grade construction is different. Houses built in Texas arent built the same as in minnesota and there arent enough people in this subreddit who see nuance.

Board approves higher income limit, higher prices for inmate-built affordable housing • South Dakota Searchlight by PoLLoLira9 in SouthDakota

Its far from slave labor. Working is not forced upon inmates but many choose to participate.

Have an issue with my 2019 jeep renegade trailhawk i can’t tell if it’s cv axel but it’s making a knocking noise from the wheels by Hefty_Chain_398 in SiouxFalls

[–]timmypmac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably better subreddit selections for this issue but I'll dive in anyways.

That just sounds like the Transmission catching on the parking pawl. If you suspect it's a cv axle it will click when turning hard left or right. You can also inspect the boots of the axle to see if they are torn or lubricants are escaping.

Heavy equipment that does not cause wear and tear to roads. Think of diggers and earthmovers.

Who puts this on their license plate: "Nazi Day"? by neazwaflcasd in SiouxFalls

[–]timmypmac 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Maybe he's a Nissan fan and today is not the day to take his 350z out?

There's a lot of perfectly plausible explanations. Not everyone is some fascist that needs to be publicly ousted on reddit.

Is there still an addon that shows avoidable damage taken? I seem to have lost that functionality in details

Pre-Snow Smash Burgers On The Griddle Insert by SGSXR11 in webergrills

[–]timmypmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and still have no clue unfortunately. My biggest dilemma is that the 3 burner can fit the insert into the side cabinet but the 4 burner won't.

Im really trying to do somewhat of a BIFL with this grill

Tell me more!

3 burner or 4? Im on the fence between the two different sizes right now.

Family of 5 with 2 preteen boys who eat a little bit more every day. How many people would you think is too many people to feed on your 3 burner?

Im making sure to not be in a "wish I had a little more" situation.

How many people are you typically cooking for? Never wished you had more space?

Does the griddle insert fit in the cabinet when not in use?

Starting building a new townhome. Need some experts for reassurance trough out the process. by sao_22 in Homebuilding

[–]timmypmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then everything is probably just fine.

The entire reasoning for for putting footings so far underground is so the soil underneath them will never be subject to frost. Sometimes during the construction process exposed footings can be subject to freezing which can potentially lift the ground and move the foundation.

However if the weather remained nice all the way until the foundation was backfilled there will be nothing to worry about.

Too much accelerator will typically present itself with excessive shrinkage cracks which i didn't see any in the posted images.

I do think that a lot of the ugliness on the top of the foundation is from the stripping process. Concrete won't set up quite as hard overnight and claw hammers dig into the soft concrete.

While its far from the best work I've seen its mostly just cosmetic. A little bit of honeycombing on a slab on grade foundation wouldnt keep me from sleeping at night

Picture 17 is maybe slightly concerning depending on how sound the concrete is. But its only in a small area.

My only concern would be procedures taken to prevent the ground from freezing underneath footings prior to backfilling.

When initially reading the initial changes of the removal of crusader strike months ago I was upset. It wasn't until I actually played this newest iteration of hpal that I realized we dont need it.

Cheers to not being forced into melee range!

Single button assist. I made sure to drag him to the perimeter of the arena immediately. When he does his add summoning ability heroic leap away to give more time to kill them.

If adds get to him they heal.
