That seems an extraordinarily large heater. Is this house in the arctic circle?

I'd imagine buying a beefier stove and the increased fuel to run it is likely to be cheaper than tearing everything apart to upgrade the insulation if yours is lovely, which I assume it is because look at that place

canyoneer posted:That dude told all his co-workers what a great deal he got by shopping for remnants at the carpet stores At least they're all the same colour within each room. There's that. Apparently my cousin's ex-husband once got remnants (I think carpet remnants, but I'm not sure) and bragged about what a great deal they were and how great it looked, when none of them matched or even coordinated. It was the world's shittiest patchwork.

Enos Cabell posted:While house shopping ten years ago we looked at an exceedingly well built house in a nice neighborhood that had carpet EVERYWHERE. And by everywhere I mean not only wall to wall in every room including the orange kitchen and lime green bathrooms, but it was even on the ceiling in several rooms. Bedrooms and living room had these large, like 2'x6' wood framed panels of carpet up on the ceilings. Also the owner was murdered by her adult son inside the home. Please say there are listing photos of this still online.

Legitimately, those 5 colors are the exact colors of the carpet in my house right now.

I dunno, for 55g, that's a nice reno. That heater looks wack as hell though. But if it was just a new floors and paint, you could have a pretty excellent home. Toss a few more grand to get a half bath in a closet. But it probably needs a new heating system, torn to studs for new insulation and sheetrock, probably rewiring, and always assume foundation or drainage issues.

Youth Decay posted:How many different kinds of ugly carpet can you fit into 1000sf? The carpet in the bathroom and kitchen looks exactly like the horrible scratchy office carpet my dad ganked and put in my folk's bedroom because their waterbed exploded and they needed new carpet quick and cheap. The carpet came from the airport my dad worked for, it was being remodeled and they used that crappy carpet in all the office spaces. I've only ever seen it in other cheap office spaces that got remodeled or built in the 80s. It is the worst and also impossible to clean.

Toss a few more grand to get a half bath in a closet. It's in Hopewell VA where $100k buys a nicely renovated bungalow of that size. It does look like a good house under all that carpet but since you'd be replacing the HVAC and much of the drywall and probably the roof in addition to the cosmetics it isn't worth it. Also you'd have to live in Hopewell.

  This is why I asked several times to test things prior to the drywall going up and several coats of paint going on it. It's one of the two refrigerant lines to my minisplit heat pump.

Also, if you've ever tried to paint a house that has had a coal stove in it......just lol. The fresh paint basically just slides off the wall. It doesn't matter how much TSP you cleaned it with beforehand. I had a friend in this situation with a cabin he bought (and replaced the coal heater because.....yeah) and he ended up throwing 1/4" drywall over all of the existing because there was simply no cleaning it.

So I investigated a water damage loss last week. First-time homebuyer, bought a flip about a year ago. Everything seemed fine until we had some heavy thunderstorms/wind with rain about a month ago, and water started leaking in all the way down to the first floor. Saw nothing obvious from outside. Roof's about 10-years old and in good condition. Sent up a roofer, and...  ...lovely roofing/waterproofing shenanigans continue.

is that a soffit vent? Why is it tilted? Are we looking at the lack of flashing, or is something more going on?

I'm a complete layman so I want to guess it has to do with the missing flashing but I feel like you'd want an eave or something overhanging the vent.

You can do it by wrapping the underlayment over the edge, and then putting the trim over that, *and* flashing over that. A small overhang would be better, though. Even just flashing would be 100% better than what’s there.

Leperflesh posted:is that a soffit vent? Why is it tilted? Are we looking at the lack of flashing, or is something more going on? It's a weird little half-roof - looks like a tiny house was cut in half at the ridge line. Except this is America, so they built it that way. What's under it is a wall: vinyl siding (double-4 dutch lap) The fascia wrap (aluminum face flashing) is short, and there appears to be zero drip edge too.
