Ashcans posted:Are their restrictions on how you do it? Because I would guess that those ragged holes and over-cuts around the edges make that worse for stress than if you drilled a proper round hole in it. If I recall correctly, the restrictions are something like the hole has to be within the middle third of the board, can't be wider/longer than X (where X varies with the board size), and there's a minimum distance between holes.

Splicer posted:Are you saying the hinge is outside the door rather than in the jamb? Yes. Lemme see if I have a picture.  The hinge covers are similar to the front door, except there they're inside. I've seen under the covers on the front door and it's just some screws. I'm assuming the same is true on the back though I couldn't get the covers to pop off by hand and I didn't want to force it.

Made a little discovery at work. Or I should say, the guys demoing the building next door made a discovery for me when they started to cut this conduit. That is the exterior of my building. It's a lighting circuit for a stairwell, and apparently someone forgot to drop the conduit into the concrete pour. Their solution was to run it outside the beam into the void next to the neighboring structure.   Fortunately the guys didn't break the wire. I'll have to pay an electrician to surface-mount some conduit in the stairwell to hop from one light to the next. You know, actually within the property line of the building.

(basically he bought one from a person who salvaged them from a demo, but it was packed extremely badly and arrived smashed into tiny little pieces. the seller offered a replacement but Jake would have to get it in person, which is definitely not creepy at all.)

Wife and I were thrilled last weekend to have our offer accepted on an older house. Our offer was contingent on the home passing a thorough inspection. The only thing going into the inspection that we were a little concerned about was that the city had the home registered with around 982 sqft for the home, where as the listing was 1100 sqft. While the home was over 100 years old, we chalked up the mismatch to poor record keeping. Well yesterday was the inspection and the home failed it. The bones of the original house were great but there were two glaring issues the inspector found. First off, our inspector has looked at nearly 1000 homes in their career and this one was one of 4 homes she refused to get into the crawlspace to look around. Why? Well apparently there was a major rat infestation recently. The live rats moved out, but bodies and a shitload of feces were left which posed a huge health risk. The other issue was the master bedroom "addon" that was done. Turns out, not only was it not to code, but the city had no idea it existed. It was cleverly done behind the house so the work could be hidden from the front. They built the entire master bedroom on top of a deck that was originally outside. There is no foundation whatsoever under the bedroom. The work involved to simply fix this issue was essentially tearing down 1 side of the house, digging up the deck, pouring a new foundation, and then rebuilding everything. We walked. Still bummed about it because if it was done properly and the previous owners care enough to take care of the rats, we would have had our dream home. gently caress scamming owners. Now we gotta get back into the home shopping game again. Thanks to the housing crisis here, our options for affordable homes are limited as it is. Such is life.

That's a bummer, but much less of a bummer than not having caught those problems, moving into the home, and waking one morning to find that your bedroom having fallen into a pit, and a rat king about to attack.

FCKGW posted:they turned the deck into a bedroom? It's kind of common in Chicago for people to extend their homes out over the deck, or the back stairwell. Normally though there's already a foundation so it's not that big of a deal. I'd like to imagine this is a bedroom sitting on 4 posts slowly sicking into the ground.

For clarification, here's images from the listing: Front angle of home. You can kinda see the addon poking out of the rear.  Inside the bedroom itself. Note the tiny set of stairs that lead down from the main house onto the bedroom "floor".  Backyard view showing the addon:
