No contractor wants to come fix a small portion of a DIY mistake as cheap as possible. They want you to call them before you start a project, have them do all the work for you and use all their sub contractors so they can turn a quick remodel into a $20,000 project. What you need is a construction worker who moonlights on craigslist. Yes they exist, sometimes they want to pad their bank account with untaxed dollars and sometimes they are just low on work with their current employer. The caveat is you get a few of these craigslist people then you need to put on your monocle and sort the wheat from the chaff. The wheat will fix your beam and the chaff will make another notch on the bottom.

Really? Thats about the going rate for them here too, for something basic as a few beams. When I wanted to take out a load bearing wall and size the beam to replace it, it was $450.

What about using the existing engineered beams as a form to pour a large concrete block? Chain your bathtub to that and its not going anywhere.

Baronjutter posted:You want something like really porous lava rock to maximize the surface area for mold and moisture retention. Don't listen to this guy. Get something easy to clean and gently caress the haters saying you'll grow a mold farm in your bathroom. Obsidian all the way. You can get huge pieces of it and just smash it into the size you need. If you want to mine it yourself I believe you'll need a diamond pickaxe but don't quote me on that (its been a while).
