Wasabi the J posted:I didn't get pictures of it, but there's a residential street near my home that just got repaved, and I think there's a few people that didn't get the memo; there are about 6 cars stranded on their driveways now. Memo? When they did my street, they'd blocked off about eight blocks with "local access only", et cetera, and... did nothing for about a month-to-six-weeks. Even better, six of those blocks? They'd been repaved the summer before. But, they gave no fucks about driveways, because once they depaved and gravelled the steet, people were out shoveling gravel into ramps so they could get their cars out at 11 PM and such, because no one had posted notice of *anything* otherwise.

I was referring to the one under the stairs for the inevitable collapse of the staircase (doesn't look like it's very secure, though hopefully it actually is). But that bird thing ready to stab you in the face after you fall down the stairs the old fashioned way is a nice touch.

We discovered today that the structural engineer thought that the joists in one room went 90º to their actual direction. He'd noted their direction on the plans but nobody spotted it, including me. We're now waiting to hear whether this is going to mean replacing a steel with a larger one. A steel we've already fitted. And built two floors and a wall on top of.

Brute Squad posted:It's not that bad. How much room does your toilet have from the center of the flange to each wall? You might be able to turn it 90 degrees. Also, what's up with the window to nowhere? Or is that supposed to be a shelf?

Brute Squad posted:It's not that bad. hahaha, I think my bathroom has you beat..... We are in the middle of a remodel, so its a bit of a mess(adding a bathroom upstairs means we had to open up walls in this bathroom). I think there is maybe ~8" between the front of the toilet and the tub. Granted we used to have a toilet that fit better, but it was from 1937 and was a 5 gallon flush. And the plumber broke it when he removed it, so he replaced it with this, which according to him is a totally fine replacement and he sees no issue with this*. I am 6'2" and my knees hang over the tub when I am sitting on the toilet. Thankfully we have a got a new compact toilet that is being installed in the next couple of days. We especially need this since my little brother is moving back to the US and will be staying with us for a couple months. He is closer to 6'4", so I don't know if he would fit with our current setup at all. * the plumber actually had the balls to argue with me that the toilet fit fine and there was nothing wrong with it. He also tried to flood my basement when he decided to put the y valve onto my hot water heater barely finger tight. Of course I didn't bother to double check his work cause I figured a plumber would at least tighten the fittings and since the hat water heater is in a back corner of the basement I rarely go into, it was leaking for almost a week till I noticed it. Thankfully that is the *only* bad experience we have run into with this project, all of the other contractors have been great to work with.

therobit posted:Holy poo poo. Are you making a claim against his bond? That is up to my GC to deal with. He will be tearing out/replacing all of the drywall/etc that got water damage and I am not paying the plumber that last 1/3 of the bid for the work. That is the biggest upside of having a GC run the job, he is responsible for dealing with the subs. The project that we are working on is converting the entire top floor(which was 2 bedrooms), into a master suite. Thankfully there was nothing beyond the downstairs(also only) bathroom that belongs in this thread. All knob and tube wiring, but it was all in really good shape. Ended up having to get an entire new power drop/meter since the existing one was so old and we only had a 80 amp panel.

Told my wife I was posting about our bathroom, so she had to take this picture to show how bad it is This is the only way I can sit on the toilet. I measured the gap just to see, and there is just over 7" between the front of the toilet and the tub. I can't wait to get the new toilet installed. *edit* I have tried sitting with my feet in the tub, but it is not comfortable at all. slurry_curry fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Jun 8, 2017 |
