I heard that y'all got some really bad smork problems. I can certify that this alam got all the smork detection modules preinstalled and ready to go. No longer will our children have to hide their toys from the pilferous smork, and my wife was never happier with my performance in the bedroom. E:  Curse you and your newfangled alam, I'll have the last laugh yet! By popular demand fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Apr 11, 2021 |

Besides looking dumb as hell and needing to be replaced every 15-30 years, is there anything actually wrong with using asphalt shingles as siding? It's all kinds of wrong to me but seems like it might work ok???

It's all kinds of wrong to me but seems like it might work ok??? Nope, you're completely right. It is a valid house coating and entirely a cosmetic issue. Like I said, it's commonly done for A frames. Of course, I imagine adding all the heat absorption to your house will make your cooling bills sky high. edit: side shingles on houses that aren't A frames are usually done with cedar or slate shingles, not asphalt. edit2: I look closer and those might be steel shingles. They might be good for 50 years. kid sinister fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Apr 11, 2021 |

You can bet that they didn't secure the laminates with silicone adhesive on the elevations, either, so: it may look bad now, but wait until the secondary layer starts dropping down when the factory adhesive (which is not designed for installations beyond about 8/12) fails. No, it's not wind damage so no, your claim is denied. PainterofCrap fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Apr 12, 2021 |

this seems like a not good way to build things.. lifting instead of building in place just seems to be a lot of extra effort.

It’s me. I am the rear end in a top hat previous owner. We moved our fence from including the front yard to just the backyard since our yard is 2 lots deep and goes through to the road behind us (the lots behind us were seized and auctioned by the city due to unpaid taxes. Was $150 to triple the size of our yard). Instead of digging up the front poles because I didn’t feel like going down 2 feet through clay I dug to the concrete and cut the poles off flush with the concrete and reburied them. I was only planning on doing it to 1 which was 2” from the gas line but after the first one was dug up and had a concrete cone attached to it that was 2 foot across at the top and went all the way down I wasn’t going that poo poo again. The next homeowner wouldn’t be able to put a fence there anyways without a variance since the setbacks have changed since that fence was put in.

Given the change to the setbacks you mention a future front fence would likely not use the same locations for posts. So I wouldn't worry too much about future people being too upset about it. I had to have a section of about 8 cedar posts replaced a few years ago. A day that saw multiple 80mph+ wind gusts ended up snapping a bunch off at ground level. The two guys that came out to replace them used a tool that was basically an a-frame, some chain, and a long-lever ratchet that drew the chain. They started around 8 am and had all the concrete removed, new posts set, and all the panels put back by the end of the day.

There has to be a better way to have moss covered stairs.

That's brick veneer and those sprinkler heads aren't pointed at the stairs. It's not great, but it's not nearly as bad as they're making it out. The brick veneer being used as siding is going to get more wet than the side of those steps.

That number of sprinkler heads is massively overkill for the space, so it’s not implausible they have extremely short throw distance.

FCKGW posted:This sprinkler head looks problematic no matter how much the try and turn down the pressure Those are flat/short throw sprinklers. That's why there are so many of them in there. It's not hard to set up properly, and doesn't matter anyway because that amount of water simply isn't a problem.

Prior to dry docking you have to send divers down to verify you're on the blocks correctly, and it is an unholy hell for you if you find out you're not after dewatering.
