A loving pine 2x4 is $6 here. PT is basically unavailable. 5/8" BC plywood is $40 a sheet. It's crazy town.

Motronic posted:No doubt about lasting longer because yeah, you have those rubber gaskets on the weird combo self tapper sheet metal and wood screws. I'm not seeing any new building in my area of the northeast using legit standing seam. If you're in an area where that's not specialty labor (like it is here - that's right up there with river stone rubble wall masonry repair for your 1700/1800s farm house) it makes a lot of sense for longevity, but coming from where I'm at I'm thinking it's ridiculously expensive. Guess not in the right areas. Kind of like veneer plaster. Try to get it done outside of New England, it's hideously expensive. Around here, it's about 10% more than drywall, but only takes a day and there's no dust. It's also far far more durable. Ken, you should learn to do it! It's maddeningly simple looking, but a real bitch to get right.

kastein posted:Honestly most of the debate I see seems to be the electricians complaining about the sheetrock guys just blatantly covering up their boxes, which blows my mind, having done both jobs. I have no idea how anyone can hang sheetrock over a box sticking out a half inch and not notice unless they were completely blasted out of their mind on something. My plasterers buried 2 boxes in our bathroom. They're depth-adjustable boxes, and they adjusted them back all the way and then buried them... Sigh.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Water rights are, like, one of the fundamental challenges of civilization. If you're downstream of someone else, do they have the right to consume all of the water that you would normally have access to? Usually, the answer is "no". But enforcement of that decision ends up manifesting as a bunch of really weird-looking laws that, at their root, are intended to ensure that people don't consume so much water that their neighbors run dry. Except it's been corrupted. Replace people with corporations, and it makes more sense why it's a poo poo show now. Nestle can extract millions of gallons of water while down the street people's taps run dry. Why? Number must go up! sharkytm fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Dec 20, 2021 |

24" of reinforced concrete for the walls and 36" for the roof should suffice, right?
