Bad Munki posted:Am I looking at a steel beam at this point, or is a gluelam or lvl an option? I assume I’m going to have to engage an engineer to get my builder on board and have it all permitted and such, just curious what I might should expect, ballpark-wise, if anyone wants to hazard a semi-educated guess. Beyond the span table issue already raised, most laminated lumber is not rated for exterior applications. There are some exceptions, I think there is an LVL product now but I've never used it and the last time I needed something like this (2015) I used a Weyerhaeuser parallam plus psl: https://www.weyerhaeuser.com/woodproducts/engineered-lumber/parallam-psl/parallam-plus-psl/ Talk to your local lumber yard and see what they recommend, if they don't have any ideas ask if they can source weyerhaeuser. It was a special order material back then, even for a yard that sold a lot of weyerhaeuser stuff.

My newly installed backsplash tiles are cracking. What could be the cause? I had my kitchen remodeled a few months ago and it turned out great. However, I noticed a small line in one of the tiles above the oven. I checked the rest of the backsplash and the whole thing is full of cracks on both walls in the whole kitchen. Less so on the opposite wall but still. https://imgur.com/a/SsEAMV1  https://imgur.com/a/9g80ibh When my contractor was working on the backsplash he mentioned that the walls weren't even close to straight and he had to use up to 2" of Thin-set on parts of the walls to get the backsplash remotely straight. Lining up the cabinets was also a pain in the rear end because of this. I asked over in r/homeimprovement and someone suggested someone here may have a better idea about what is going on. Do you think the unevenness of the walls and the amount of mortar is what could have caused the cracking tile? Could it be something else? Lastly, it isn't really noticeable so I am ok leaving it for now unless you think it could lead to problems later. Thanks for any input! Thinking of a 2 inch thick glob of thinset and

I feel like whoever did that knew exactly what they were doing, both on a mechanical and aesthetic level. So it's kinda hard to get mad about it. Which isn't to say that I'd want to have to maintain all that crap.

GreenNight posted:Planning? Looks to me like it was a gently caress it, what’s on sale? Good enough! There is approximately a 0% chance that anyone could pull off that complicated of a frontage and have it look as tidy in the specifics, if they weren't putting a ton of effort into achieving that very specific look. Like, there's no gaps, the (many) corners and edges are all precise, and wherever there's repetition, everything is spaced and sized consistently. Someone trying to cheap out and improvising as they go would produce a vastly worse result.

Which isn't to say that I'd want to have to maintain all that crap. They so clearly made exactly what they intended to make and it's so overwhelmingly weird that I kinda like it. Like, I wouldn't build it or buy it, but if my neighbor started converting his place into that, I'd be ok with it once it was finished. I'd spend the construction process peering through my blinds with gradually mounting unease, but mostly for fear my neighbor might be a Lovecraftian protagonist.

(The window washer takes a long, hard stare at the house, not moving for several minutes. At the end of it, he pulls out his clipboard and estimate sheet, scrawls "gently caress YOU" in capital letters, across it, diagonally, and hands it to the homeowner. He throws his name tag on the ground, and leaves.)
