Well, it's around someone's future home. Yeah, that corner is almost an inch out of square over 21.5 inches. Granite guys are gonna hate that...
Replaced the expired 10-year hardwired smoke+CO detector with another 10-year+hardwire unit.

More playing in the dirt. 30" down so we can put bigger windows in the basement. Fuck do I ever hurt right now. So out of shape.

Jesus, that's brutal. Is that a new build, or just a shitty reno/contractor?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Heh, new build in Bowness. Basement bar corners were just as wonky - 1/2" out of square over 13 inches.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Kitchen done, as many cabinets elsewhere in the home. When completed, you can't see the wonky ceiling or wonky walls. Cabinet, countertop and tile people can hide a lot of bad stuff.

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
Whats this diptube thing?
I just replaced the tank at the new house so i want to do whatever i can to maintain it. Are you guys also flushing it yearly?
When we did the inspection the guy said the tank should probably be replaced due to its age and a quick google lead me to believe it could be done for around $1000.00 so i figured with the deal we got it was no biggie. FFWD to last week i find out i have a power vented tank and it was double the cost of a regular one.

Anode = Sacrificial rod in your hot water tank so the water doesn't attack the inside of your hot water tank and cause it to rust out. The rod usually lasts 3-5 years but can vary and its pretty simple to remove and check.
If you are doing annual or bi-annual maintenance such as draining your tank for sediment build up you can just check/replace the rod at that time. They are only $30 so its cheap to buy.
The dip tube is a plastic tub that feeds cold water to the bottom of the tank and most times including mine you don't need to replace them. Again inspection can be done during maintenance of the tank during the drain.
My tank is original to the house and is WAY past 10-15 years old so its getting past its prime but I was glad to see that despite the shape of the anode tube the inside still looked good and I wasn't concerned.
New windows on order. Did 3 of them last year, now finishing up the house. Should be in by september.
Picking up roof nails around the house. New roof was installed on Thurday. So far walking around I've picked up about 25 nails. Just on my property. Is this acceptable?

No, but it's completely normal. They leave so fuckin many that I swear they receive a bonus for every kilo left strewn about. Check your gutters, too. I had strings of nails in mine!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
