Too many for a single pic. Here are some of the 'quirks' of my house:

The previous owner of my house botched the entire addition. It's literally a box that's bolted on the side of the house. The carpet in the upstairs is rolled, because they cut it wrong. In fact, there are a ton of little problems that could have been prevented with "measure twice, cut once" and remembering the kerf. The entire addition isn't level with the main house. The lower level, the floor levels don't quite match up. The upper level I have to walk down 3 steps to get into the master bedroom. The steps aren't coped to accommodate the door frame, which extends all the way down to the floor, past the bottom of the door, for some reason. The foundation of the addition sits a full 8 inches below the main house foundation. The bathroom was refloor without raising the plumbing, that same bathroom has a full tub/shower without a p-trap (the trap is in the drain line downstream of the bathroom). The aforementioned trap was not an actual trap, but rather four 90s Then they built patio outside the addition, and then they put a roof overhang over the porch. But they put the roof supports on top of the railing. As in, the primary supports are coming up from the ground, through the walking surface, and up to the railing. Then the roof supports are mounted on top of that. As a result, they are bowing out. The joists for the deck run parallel to the house, and are bowing, and the rear deck is built at grade level, and they didn't even use deck screws for most of it - they used nails. So a lot of those nails have rusted through and aren't doing anything.

What do you mean "that house" on "that property"? its a basic box with a reverse gable because roof leaks are desireable. And its on a hillside with dense green trees, so maybe kentucky? elsewhere appalacia? We have no idea if he's on half an acre of useless hillside or 4000 acres of ranch. Either way, nothing about the house or land screams expensive high end. Those rock baskets acting as a privacy screen are cheap as shit too; just steel cages with rocks in them.

>Rich people love those baskets full of rocks, wtf are you talking about.
They're used by cities and commercial properties as soil errosion, they're inexpensive but high profit, and they look ugly as shit because they're the same things they used in military bases as explosion barriers. As someone that lives in a rich as fuck area, no, rich people do not love these mostly because they're ugly and cheap looking.

I already explained the patio and hillside, patios aren't expensive, and hillside land is sometimes seriously cheap because its nearly unusable. See the redneck pool in a shipping container held up by plain I-beams

Steel and glass isn't expensive, its often inexpensive for builders to rapidly put up. What makes you think anything involving steel and glass is expensive?

Paving in the garden? Lol they poured a concrete sidewalk! Its not even stamped and stained concrete. Looks like a plain broom finish.

Hot tubs aren't expensive either. Maybe $10k for a good one. Whats your point? Thats not a sign of wealth. I guess if your standard of living is a double wide trailer with garbage and derelict cars in the yard this place is a palace, but overall these are average grade construction items.

The richest cities near my major metro areas all have very many houses that use those caged rocks in their landscaping. I know because I have worked on some of their homes. What can I conclude other than that the homeowners like them?
It's not that any components of that house are inherently costly, Anonymous. It's just that the non-wealthy aren't going to be spending very much money them.
>Oh I need a path through my garden
>Pour cement? Nah just lay down some black landscape paper or something

>I want a hottub

>No, I don't need glass; just use treated wood

and I see very, very few homes with large porches. They're seen as a luxury in my part of the world. Most homes have some kind of porch, but almost never along an entire face of the home.

>my major metro areas all have very many houses that use those caged rocks in their landscaping.
Do you live in Los Angeles or Baghdad?

And yeah, thats how home ownership works. Some people are content with some paver stones instead of a poured cement. Paver stones actually cost more because its the same prep, but you have individual stones, plus filler aggregate.
Thats not an artisnal hot tub either. Its a super tiny round one; see the person standing next to it. You could fit at most 3 people in it. Its a tiny piece of shit.
And with the amount of glass on that minimalist house and similar Steel I-beam construction, the glass guy was already there. Those glass panels are a few thousand installed. Versus Stained cedar of a similar size would be a couple thousand.

Some homeowners will splurge on shit thats important to them, doesn't mean they're rich. And since that style trend has been a thing for over a decade, prices have come down since tempered glass isn't some new material.

You're over-estimating that house and that property in general. Again, basket of rocks, steel i-beams, glass, and the tiniest hot tub on a hillside do not make a millionaire. Nicer than a doublewide for sure, but this isn't some super high end custom house.

I live in the midwest. I'm rather poor but my home isn't a trailer. I wouldn't dream of buying a hot tub, or owning a pool, or landscaping my garden to look so neat, or building a full-length porch. The money just isn't there. I've got more important things to spend it on, like my rusting car and my aged mother.

>thousands of dollars
>on twenty linear feet of railing
>somehow this isn't a sign of wealth
$300 will easily cover the cost of an equivalent railing in the favored material of my local hoi polloi, green treated lumber.

Clearly, you and I just have different ideas about what's expensive, and that's fine -- it just means you're probably wealthy too! I'm really rather jealous.

>> No.2809655

>>2809651
Buddy, $300 is comparatively pennies when owning a house. If you're not in horrendous debt and you're making it work I'm not picking on you. But $300 for railing is going to look like $300 of railing. $3000 for some glass railing looks so much better and will last much longer than $300 railing. Also, check the price of wood and screws. You'd spend $50 alone on screws for such a railing.

why do i come in these threads ngaaaaaaaaaaAAA!
My landlord has had some ideas, but they are all shit.
The stairs have a quarter spiral at the bottom but this makes it difficult to get anything up them, so he made the bannister removable, but it's made of thick heavy steel box section. it might actually weigh like 100kilos. it's so heavy.
Everything else is just a bit ... off.
Kitchen lino is wavy as a stormy sea. roof on extension leaks. bathroom has one of those shit glass door things on the bath/shower, barely stops water- it still gets everywhere and it collides with the sink every time you open it (i can't wait for it to shatter so i can put in a curtain).
Most lights are those stupid spotlight things, they are all falling down, i already replaced one with a normal single bulb.
Pro tip: waste more than 4 times as much energy to light your room by using a spotlight lamp with 4 filament bulbs instead of one LED bulb.
The kitchen is just weird too. it has no space for a bin, the sink is half blocked by the corner counter, like the actual bowl of the sink is in a corner.
He made built in cupboards in the small bedroom, but the doors are just shitty thin plywood and so have warped and don't fit properly.
He added a loft ladder but the hatch doesn't fit properly either so in the winter you just get massive condensation, to the point of RAIN, inside the loft space.
I have learned the hard way not to put any effort into a house you do not own.

And a single piece of railing is comparatively nothing when building a house.
If you're gonna inflate the price of every non-crucial component by 10x, and maybe 10% of the house is "non-crucial" (e.g. pool railings, garden paths - stuff you can compromise on without making the house worse to live in, so for example not the roof or the plumbing etc.), then you've nearly doubled the cost of the house by making those 10% cost another 100% of the original budget.

You don't just do that on a whim unless you actually have 200% budget sitting around.

The small step would be more than enough to stop light rainwater from flowing in (also a simple raised doorsill would do the same job).
If bigger flooding is a concern, that tall step is absolutely not sealed against the walls anyway, any water level going up above the lower step would just flow into the door through the cracks on the sides between the step and the doorframe.

Theres where you made an assumption. You assumed the deck was bearing the load of the entire exterior wall. When in reality it was the wall and those 4x4 posts are just holding up a tiny section of the roof that is otherwise cantilevered.

Protip: if you ask 5 tradesmen or 5 contractors about a specific issue, all 5 will say "the last guy did it wrong". Contractors smell their own farts for fun, and are usually wrong, but also kinda right. If the place isn't falling down, out of code, or kinda dangerous to be near, its fine.

my guess is a leaky trash bag, on top of the cardboard in the background, for a week or three. Someone finally takes the stinky leaky bag out, the contents have run off and underneath the cardboard, so they drag the now-moldy cardboard away, and the fluid pooled on top of the cardboard runs off the edge and makes the puddles near the blue curtain. Meanwhile the trash juice that was underneath the cardboard slides off on the carpet as it's being dragged, making the rake-shaped pattern on the left with the white shower curtain ring on top of it. All of it still very stinky, but let's say a mixture of beer, barbecue sauce and coffee; it's definitely not the right color to be blood.

those crappy planks are called purlins, they are not meant to support the structure of the roof. They are for nailing roof panels on. Replacing them with beams would be mostly harmful.
>Let's add more weight to the sagging roof

The only proper fix is to but a stronger beam UNDER the roof, supporting the rafters. A 4x4 is also the wrong answer because you're adding strength on the wrong axis!

2x6 or 2x8 or 2x10.

It would be a rigid body supported by the pillars to the side. It would support the rafters which pull down from below. That would require bolting them right, so it would be my last choice of solution.
I agree adding depth is the right choice.
This whole setup looks like it will fall apart at the first hurricane, so the whole point is moot.

You can fix this without replacing the beam. Just grab some sheet metal steel and cut it so it runs along the top and bottom side of the beam, and screw it in good. You’re essentially building a hillbilly I-beam. Rather than resisting flexing force itself, the steel will be resisting the stretching and squeezing force that the top and bottom of beams receive.

>hazard tape for stairs
Is this for some retard school? I would guess the plywood would be to catch them if they begin to fall down the stairs.

Its so your attorney has something to point at showing a visual warning there is a trip hazard or a step ledge there. Just notice next time you're at a business with steps in it. Theres always a useless railing even if its 1 step, powered lights next to it, and often a "CAUTION THERES A FUCKIN STEP HERE" sign somewhere next to it. Enough people got sued for some dumbass tripping up or down stairs hurting themselves and suing the business successfully winning.

The strand-board walls really accent the 70 year old plain cabinets. Neat idea but dude probably doesn't understand letting water and other dust in between those un-mortared river stones is going to make that bathroom a stinky biohazard in about 12 months.
