wow, real "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" vibes coming off this post. HolHorsejob posted:The pitfalls I'd be concerned about are screwing into a knot or split in the joist/stud, landing the fastener close to the edge of the stud, or the screw randomly pulling out. For the size fastener you need and the load it will create, I personally wouldn't be comfortable screwing that into a 2 inch wide stud. I can appreciate this post and all of the others. I had considered mounting a stronger board with more screws along the existing ceiling and then mounting my screw eye to that... wasn't sure if it mattered, and  It's up and she's used it and there doesn't seem to be too much flex or strain that we can see. We're also aware of the risks, so if it falls we've minimized harm and will never take for granted that it's going to hold. She loves it a ton  Thanks again for all of the replies!

I was doing the fun uncle super-swing with my niece and nephew on my lap and the porch swing ripped out when my legs were fully pulled up under it. I caught the weight of everything on the back of my calf; it was a giant purple knot for over a month but amazingly didn't break anything.

Cheaper to board over and cover windows than replace them, I guess?

I have worse, in my own house. Which has a perfectly fine foundation, but that foundation is sitting on fine clay that absorbs water in the winter and releases it all summer, resulting in just enough ground movement to crack between the sheetrock here and there. Not much to be done about it, patching even with the elasticy stuff doesn't really work that well. Just hang a picture in front of it. Well, after you inspect your foundation, crawlspace if you have one, and attic space if you have one, to rule out foundation damage and/or water intrusion.

Leperflesh posted:oh, it's your landlord's problem then Why the assumption they're renting? It might be a strata problem. OP if you own, you should have via your strata a depreciation report done every five or ten years or something. You can look through that to see what they've said about the foundation. How old is the building?

moist turtleneck posted:Now I can watch people's feet Some guys I used to know who shared a house set up a spare room as a home theater (long ago when that was an unusual thing) went one better - they built tiered risers, like theater seats. It was surprisingly solid. Now I *want* to know where it goes/why it's verboten.

Everything is technically load bearing, it's just that load is very very small

When a renovation collapsed onto a Salvation Army thrift store next to it and people were killed, the ongoing grift of the Philadelphia Licenses & Inspections Division (L&I), particularly with fly-by-night 'general contractors' was exposed, and the L&I official who signed off on the building before work started committed suicide.

This was in 2013: https://www.phillymag.com/tag/salvation-army-building-collapse/ Budd Dwyer probably wasn't guilty of anything, but the smear campaign and innuendo destroyed his reputation for integrity, and the conviction finished him off. I watched his press conference live; I had come home from work for lunch (office was 6-minutes from my apartment) & turned on the noon news. Believe it was early 1987. Budd Dwyer was going to defend himself in a press conference that he called, although it was assumed he was going to resign. It happened so fast, no one really had time to react, and Action News didn't have a 'dead air' button between the feed and the broadcast, so we all got to see him in living color as he left the planet. They eventually cut the feed & went back to the studio. If memory serves, they went almost straight to a commercial break. PainterofCrap fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Jun 3, 2023 |
