8, at least 8. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
I assume you mean wall height, not overall height. Overall height includes your roof. The pitch is quite shallow in the pics. If you are concerned about overall height, you could do a shed roof (your picture is a gable roof), with 8 foot height on the front and 7 at the back. This would reduce overall height signif... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
8' because that's what the materials are. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |

No matter how big you build it, it will always be too small. Says the guy with more square footage in my garages than in my house. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |

Where I live (UK) last time I looked, Permitted Development rules covered sheds height and set back from a property line. You might want to check, if you intend on keeping the shed. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |

8' ceiling height, if possible. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
Yes 8’ wall height | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
Yeah we had to put it 4’ from the fence as apparently the fence is actually on the neighbours property | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
Go eight feet or taller. The one thing I have NEVER wished on ANY sheds I own(ed) is that they were shorter. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
Go as high as you can it’s a shed. The extra height will be helpful | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
Go big or go home | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
I'd go 8' walls as a minumum. If nothing else it will save you a few cuts and on waste material. Plus you'll appreciate the extra room inside | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
I love my 8 foot walls, 10 foot peak. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |

Ruin is a strong word, but I agree with your gut that the 7 foot is going to go easier on the eyes. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
8 ft | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
I'd suggest asking yourself which sightline is more important to you? Your rear neighbours and their hedges, or the stuff that will end up in your yard because your shed isn't big enough to store it all?
As someone with no room for a large shed, rear neighbours, and a yard full of pool supplies that I would love to pu... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |

The sightline? You mean the back of your neighbors house? | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
Even that close to the fence? In my area a building that close to the fence gets height restrictions similar to the fence unless it’s a full permitted building. I’m assuming that doesn’t apply here.
Basically to prevent someone building a 1 foot wide structure that is functionally a 15’ tall fence on the property lin... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
8 for sure. You won’t wish you had less space. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
I doubt anyone really wished their shed was smaller or they had less storage space.
With 15' you can add a loft.
You won't regret having the extra space. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
Agreed 👍💯 | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
The trees a 7' would block out will grow, worth it for the shed to not feel stuffy and claustrophobic | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
8 vs 7 feet is the difference between walking and ducking. Clearance inside is less than your roofline - doors, framing, lights, etc. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
7 ft. Who wants to look at a big shed? Including you. Eyesore. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
8' - less cut-off waste. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |

You have to buy 8ft lumber. Why cut a foot off and throw it away? Go 8ft if not you regret it im sure!!!! | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
Where is the error trap in that? You can still frame out standard windows or doors as needed. You can still have jack and king studs as needed. You can still frame headers as needed. You can still have cripplers above windows or doors. Still tall enough to frame in an overhead door. I'm not a professional framer but I... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
more importantly, how big is the neighbors shed? Build it, 1ft bigger. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |

I’m not building it, it’s my contractor | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
I understand, but you are paying for the meteral for him to cut and throw it away . | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
I’m more concerned about the aesthetics than the material waste. It’s part of a bigger renovation. Renovations are inherently wasteful. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Extra cost? It would cost more in labour to cut everything down to 7’, since standard stud, sheathing, tyvek, etc, are all 8’ lengths. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Unless you use standard “stud length” which is 92” 5/8”, to offset top and bottom plates. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
8ft is standard | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-18-08 |

We need to reshingle because when it rains hard, water seems to be dripping through a wood board in the attic roof (no plywood or osb, most wood boards look fine). The current shingles are 3 tabs, 14 years old, and are starting to curl so it seems about time to reshingle. We're going to go with 30 yr architectural shin... | r/renovations | post | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
I would insist on the ice and water shield. It is a proven product with a long track record. Worrying about a hypothetical replacement problem in 30 to 40 years is not a valid excuse to not use it. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
Have you considered asking a tailor to just customize some regular blackout curtains for you? I think good windows will be a lot more meaningful than a thicker curtain. It all helps, sure, but you definitely won't save 5k thanks to it anytime soon. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |

Removed as curtains are not a home renovation. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
Which part exactly are you concerned about tho? | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
The marble tile against the door frame doesn’t look flush/ there’s a gap showing/ a bit crooked? and the shower tiles meeting in the corner wall looks off (not a straight vertical line) … I can’t tell if grout will help make it look better. idk I need to stop looking at these pictures | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
Just make sure to specify you don’t want those parts grouted, you want a small piece of tile put there then grouted. It’s going to be hella small, but your choice. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
What? Why? | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
The slivers at the top are because of bad layout/ not planning ahead. Tiles are prone to breaking wrong on those kinds of angle cuts when you use a score and snap cutter. The way to avoid that is by doing those cuts on a wet saw. But even then it can still happen. However, those cuts aren’t acceptable and shouldn’t... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
Gotcha, well I'm pretty sure that is an optical illusion at the door because the door frame is probably crooked at the bottom, probably needed a shim between the casing and studs. As for the tile work goes, yeah definitely will look alot better once it's grouted. I suggest since you feel they aren't so straight then ju... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |

No good way to replace it without also replacing the countertops. Look into ikea laminate counters, will be cheaper than you’d think | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
Reminds me of my grandmothers sink. Can you repair the sink? Is it the chipping that’s turning you off? | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
If it’s me
1. Turn off water
2. Use a hammer and demolish the sink, it look hideous.
3. Disconnect the hot and cold
Line | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
I hate those sink. It makes your house look dated.
1. I would check under to see if the hot and cold runs out from the wall. Right behind the faucets. Or you have an angle stop and there’s hoses running up to the faucets.
2. If no angle stop, then you probably need a plumber to redo the hot and cold so that you can... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |

That's either a DIY or the owner paid a crackhead to do the drywall and mudding. It's done really poorly.
Around the bedroom door has the drywall done in separate pieces i.e. the drywalls butts are at the corners of the door. This will inevitably lead to cracking down the road. Didn't V the butts. I'm going out on a ... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |

Anybody ever come across lead flashing that's... rusted?! I've tried scrubbing and it comes straight back a week or so later.
For info it's a 1962 build up north | r/renovations | post | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
nope, lead does not rust.
what DOES rust is terne plated steel (i.e. tin plated). That stuff is not really intended for outside use.
most roofers will just use aluminum flashing and not look back. from the ground, you can not tell the difference | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
That makes a lot more sense. I couldn't get my head around how a soft metal is rusting. Couldn't be full steel as it'd be solid at the thickness but also couldn't be lead as rust. Reckon it'll paint or should it be a replace job | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
Should I be concerned about this hole in our new truss for our addition? Truss manufacturer has no knowledge of a hole nor does the engineer however framing inspector didn’t fail it if he even saw it, IDK? | r/renovations | post | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
It’s a small hole in a wide board. While only an engineer can approve truss designs this would be fine in a wall stud or floor joist. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |

That looks like a girder truss (supporting other roof trusses). There definitely should not be a hole there. It looks like there may be some hangers missing on other trusses as well. The manufacturer can design a fix (probably will involve installing plywood along the side of the truss with a specific nailing pattern).... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |

steel putty knife, a hammer, and a couple small flat pry bars. You are trying to "lift" the old tile away, by cracking the bond between the tile and the adhesive, leaving as big a piece of tile as possible. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
You may be thinking of what they call a mud wall installation. Wire mesh tacked to the studs with a thick layer of mortar smeared over it. Those can be a huge pain to take out. But this looks like tiles adhered directly to cinder block. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
