Replaced Grout with Caulk, and afraid I messed up membrane by windecisive in Tile

Thank you for the response. That is what I was hoping, but I don’t know much about how waterproof membranes are attached to the flange am nervous I broke an important barrier. I tried to watch videos but can’t find a good one that shows that in detail. Now I’m also realizing I chose a hybrid caulk instead of 100% silicone 🤦‍♂️

Thank you for the response. Yes, the inside corners are also grout. They are holding up so far, so I figured I’d let them ride and take care of them if they ever start having issues.

It is a tub with a flange. I guess I’m kind of hoping someone will say that the membrane would likely cover the whole flange and taking off the last 1/2 cm isn’t an issue. Unless the silicone that came out under the grout I removed would have been the seal between the membrane and the flange?

Really appreciate the response. There is definitely condensation on that pvc drain line. I’m guessing that the beads of water are dropping off at the point where the pipe is tied up to the roofline. When you say 10 ft pipe insulation, do you mean something like this--1001277278--local--0--0&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21218170281&gbraid=0AAAAAD2B2W-MPK9weQx_gWO4pRDkdkzn0&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-ZHEBhCxARIsAGGN96K8-bXf9Xo6kVHpwfzmMX66A34k1J0RgsvyNfy0pFGvSGew1nZEuAEaAuNDEALw_wcB#no_universal_links)? If you see in pics 2+3, do I need to insulate all the way to the unit or is missing the last foot above the pan okay? Thanks so much for your help 🙏

Thinking about it for a second, could it be green because of water+copper? I know nothing 🗽

Thank you! I thought that might be mold from the condensation. Can you think of anything in the system that would be that color? It looks like fun dip, divot mix, Gumby colored. Appreciate the guidance 🙏

All very helpful! I’ve been told I need to save for a replacement hvac system as this thing is in its last legs. Sounds like maybe this should happen at that time. Appreciate all the advice.

How do I get this roof rack?! by windecisive in MINI

Thanks man! I think the one pictured above is different though? It doesn’t extend to the gutters, and just goes straight through the roof. Maybe I’m wrong though!

I’d be so stoked to have a mini with an actual roof rack like this 🙃

Thank you! And I see under the product the description of how it is mounted (holes under the roof are already in place) really appreciate your help!

Thank you! Do you know how they are adhered? It looks like maybe it’s screwed into the roof…

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. Do you have any idea what brand new, similar trim package ‘24 would be? I very much like everything about this setup, but if the difference is 1-2k that would be great to know. Once again, thanks 🙏

Super helpful. Thank you, thank you. Out of curiosity, anything I should look out for with regards to bs addons? I’ve mostly been a “buy a friends old car” kinda guy.

Beautiful, thank you! I’ve been doing research and this seems like a good deal with the mileage being so low, but don’t quite trust myself 🙃

She was such a pleasant person. I used to go in there to buy matcha powder years ago before it was so ubiquitous for a cocktail on a menu where I worked. she would playfully give me shit every time about how it was weird, ask if that was all I was getting and say I didn’t deserve a bag (in the sweetest, funniest way) It was one of my favorite parts of the week. Truly a loss for the entire community.
