I've used THOUSANDS of Cottonelle flushable wipes with ZERO problems (single family home connected to sewer system). I follow the instructions, and use several flushes (for multiple wipes). Heck they tear just pulling them out of the dispenser if you're not careful. They may not disintegrate as readily as TP, but they break down into smaller bits over time. I don't think the manfacturer says they break down as fully as TP, so I think your test is misleading. Here's a plumber who disagrees with you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mofMm42QZ950qsU

Such an informative video that everyone should watch. Sewer backups are disastrous. We had a neighbor’s sewer line backup and flood their entire first floor. The entire first floor floorboards were ruined. They attempted to clean and dry the floorboards instead of replacement. They later got very sick from the mold and contamination , with rashes, migraines and headaches. Be sensitive with your sewer lines. Never dispose fat or large amounts of food. Skim fat and toss it into the trash or burn it in your bbq / garden waste burn. Never flush wipes. Install a bidet, which will reduce your toilet paper waste by 75%

Architects are stubborn and want to reuse the plans they made for other houses. Less work for the same money. Solution: -Ask the architect to design a 3 car garage. -Tell the contractor to put only 2 gates in, dividing the extra space in left, centre and right. "If my MIL can park inside the garage, she'll never leave. You gotta help, man!" 😁

Did this guy ever think maybe they asked for the widest door in the garage as possible. The only option for more wall space is one smaller door. Looks like a rather wide door. Why is it this guys business what the home owner wants

How does that compare to the typical North American parking lot striping? The standard dimensions for parking spaces and aisles in North America are: Parking spaces: 8.5-9 ft wide by 18 ft long Parking lot aisles: 14-24 ft wide, depending on whether the aisle is one-way or two-way Parking space angle: 30°, 45°, 60°, or 90° relative to the curb Parallel parking: 8 ft 6 in by 23 ft, with 19 ft for the parking space and 4 ft for safety space Compact parallel parking: 6.5 ft by 19.6 ft, with 11 ft 6 in next to it for traffic flow

Correct. So this garage has two 8-foot-wide parking slots next to one another. In a normal 9-foot-wide parking lot slot, you can't open a car door completely. Thanks for making my case.

What's happening is they're trying to build a garage as small as possible to get 2 cars in there, however when the car pulls in it's not going to be against the wall it'll be over at least another foot so that'll give you about 28 in to 3 ft of clearance to walk around your car but most two car garages are so tight you can barely open the door. Now if you think you're going to pull in this garage with a suburban and a Chevy 1500 pickup truck you're completely wrong, and I'll guarantee you the doors are going to be 7 ft high they're not going to be 8 ft doors either. My particular garage at my house is 30 ft wide and 24 ft deep and I have a 18 ft door so I have 6 ft on each side I can put stuff and I'll be honest that's very handy to have I can park my tractor put stuff on either side of the vehicles I have plenty of room to get in and out it works well but I designed my house and built it myself. When you go into these cookie cutter neighborhoods everything is done as cheap as possible You better have your home inspected by a very very trustworthy home inspector before you close on it because I will guarantee you they are not going to have any skilled craftsman doing those jobs It's going to be thrown together as fast as they can do it with the cheapest quality product money can purchase. And if you have tile anywhere in your house You better go in there and take a look and do leak test before you buy it because chance are they didn't waterproof the underlayment correctly and you're going to have leaks.

Toenails are the worst, cheapest, crappiest connection existing. They are designed to save builders time and effort and make them more money. Their use has nothing to do with structural integrity. More construction worker lies and cheating....as they give you the tough guy superior attitude. BS.
@askthebuilder2 күн бұрын
Do you happen to have a PE designation behind your name? Most structural engineers will disagree with you. Toenailing is an approved structural connection if done correctly. Tens of millions of homes, some hundreds of years old, have toenailed connections at the rafters and rafter ties. These houses are still standing. Please do all a favor and stop spreading incorrect information.
