Watch one of the floor vents actually be hooked up to a gas water heater's chimney

Sloppy posted:Would like to read this rant, got a link? AFewBricksShy posted:Sorry, I can't comment on the contractor issue because I don't know your area. However I can comment on the waterproofing. I talked a lot of these points over with the schluter rep the last time I saw him. According to him the Kerdi can go in just as fast or faster than redgard. I’ve still yet to do the race with it though but if I get the right job I will. Their mortar explanation makes sense to me. (If another company changes their formula it might not work and then they would be on the hook for the warranty issue). The all set is actually a pretty fantastic mortar overall so I’m much more comfortable using it. We just did a 2k sqft lobby with the ditra underlayment and it went well.

Sentient Data posted:Watch one of the floor vents actually be hooked up to a gas water heater's chimney Did you tour my house before I bought it? (Mine was vented into a basement crawlspace and we made the seller pay us to have a plumber install a brand new water heater, properly, before we moved in.)

I've been reading up on tile and drains a lot lately but it's all new to me. We've been spec'ing a lot of their trench drains and have just gone with all Schluter everything not knowing any better but are always looking to save clients money and make subs' job's easier. Much appreciated.

I was leaning to hydroban or the mapei product and of course my job now is all schluter kerdi which always influences me.

So I think it’s a return air vent there.

Smithwick posted:What's up with the two rooms that share a wall, but don't share dimensions? I assume the guy who made the floorplan is bad at his job. The kitchen + living room is labeled "Reception". In our open plan hell dimension it seems real unlikely that the "Reception" living area would have a wall and door separating it from the hall. And then a selection of bedrooms that have 0, 1, or 2 doors each.

Assuming that the basic concept is right and that bedroom actually has a door, I have lived in worse places. I mean, you don't have to pass through a 'bedroom' to get the bathroom or kitchen, the toilet isn't in the kitchen, apparently a full bath, I've done a lot worse. Smithwick posted:What's up with the two rooms that share a wall, but don't share dimensions? I assume this is like one of those middle/high school test questions where the diagram illustrates relationships but is not to scale, so you have to do some math to figure out the actual wall lengths and corner angles.

Ah yea, I can see one of the pipes going into the side of it. I think I just don't like it aesthetically but it's there and I suppose up to code, so not a big deal. Just a weird quirk.

Why do you have ductwork from your HRV going into the floor?

Yup, that's the only issue I see here, get another orange wire-nut and you're g2g. E: I have poked myself in the eyeball with a piece of romex I threw over a rafter, not fun.

Just got flashbacks to being forced to help my dad in the attic as a kid. Being 12 and crawling on my hands and knees dragging rolls of fiberglass insulation under rafters to lay out above the new garage. Being a bit older helped bring things down for a move, stubbing my toe, then hitting my head on a nail sticking down when I jerked up as a reaction. Mouse poop in various places.

When I helped a friend run ethernet in their attic I tied a pot to my head because I foresaw that eventuality.
