I don't know much about grout, but the job on my bathroom tiles—both in the shower and on the floor—doesn't seem right. Can anyone weigh in? They seem too deep. | r/renovations | post | r/Renovations | 2024-15-08 |
The gap varies which isn't right and it looks like they overworked the grout. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |

Ok I ask because I’ve replaced one exactly like this that was warrantied by the grout manufacturer because it was a bad batch of grout that did this.

I have a plain 19ft long wall in my house and am wanting to DIY frame moulding on the wall. I just can’t work out the measurements that best suit and it’s driving me bonkers! I wish I could do 3 (because I have built ins next to it with 3 sections) but I think I need more because it’s such a long wall.
Any suggestion... | r/renovations | post | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
Honestly I have no idea what you are asking
Are you showing your “plain 19’ wall” in the photos? Because that is anything but plain
Or is that an example of what you want to do?
Also, in the photos I do not see picture frame molding. It looks like crown molding improperly installed in the first photo | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
Haha sorry, it’s an example of what I am wanting. I’m more looking for advice on what measurements/configuration for that size wall. These are pictures from the internet | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
OK, but what you are showing is not picture frame molding.
Here is an example of picture frame molding. It does not contact the ceiling, and you can buy “hooks” that hang off the upper curved section

We want to remove our basement concrete because it got some issues. My husband can remove it himself and we will call a company to add the new concrete. However our water heater is in our basement. We can’t really remove it because we need it, so what do we do with it during the process?

You may be able to suspend it from the overhead joists | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
you are going to need to turn it off, drain it, and support it.
I suppose you could demolish and repour just a 2x2' block under the waterheater in a day, and the next day fill it back up and turn it on, THEN demolish the entire rest of the basement slab | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |

Hello. I’m a first time home buyer & am worried I may be in over my head at the moment.

They most certainly took some... | r/renovations | post | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
This is happening with your air conditioning on consistently throughout the day and night? | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
Yep. We usually keep it set at 70 degrees at night and around 73 degrees during the day. I feel like this may be happening because it’s colder in the house than it is outside & maybe they didn’t insulate the roof properly? No idea but I’m freaked out for sure | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
Definitely a lot of things that can cause this. Also depending on where you live can cause worse effects. For bathrooms make sure your fan is on during showers and atleast 10 minutes after your shower. Make sure your fan is expelling and venting the moist air out of the house and not into the attic. Check attic for wat... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
Take a deep breath, but go outside first. Mold is everywhere. Just clean it up. It’s the moisture that helps it grow.
With the AC running like that you should have a drain/condensate line going to output the water. It might be clogged, which is why you have mold because water is not going anywhere.

I just did a job maybe 6 months ago for a couple that had the same issues. Their bathroom vent was venting into the attic. When the contractor replaced your vents did he make sure the fan was actually kicking the air outside the house.

To add…. Do the attic which you don’t have access to. Does it have any ventilation? Like gable end vent or anything? | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
Wow thank you so much for this — super helpful feedback! Our house has vaulted ceilings but no true attic space. I’m pretty sure it’s just the ceiling, hopefully some type of insulation material, and then the asphalt shingle roof. We haven’t cut into the ceiling in our primary bedroom yet but I’m assuming there’s no ca... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |

Dehumidifier and exhaust fan in bathroom and one in kitchen when cooking. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
It's important to keep windows open during showers, even if it's cold or raining, as bathroom vents alone aren't sufficient. Proper ventilation is essential to minimize mold growth.

You def need a roof mounted fan to pull out moisture | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
This is a strange thing.
You need to get a dehumidifier in there ASAP and clean this up.
Then, figure out what is happening. I don't think the issue is insulation, but it might be a lack of vapor barrier. An easy way to find out is to cut a hole in the drywall of an exterior wall and check. Note, the paper on the b... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
Thats not it. You have a major leak going on. I live in florida where humidity rarely drops below 80% and my A/C has been on 70-73 for 30 years.
Either your roof has leaks or (if in condo) your upstairs neighbor has issues going on. You need to remove ceiling/go inattic to find source of leaks and then remediate. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
First things first. Make sure all of your faucets are off and go look at your water meter - is it showing water usage which you can tell if the dials are spinning or numbers increasing. Might have to wait 15-30 minutes between readings. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
You should definitely call at least 2 more contractors to see what they think.

1. Does your house have an air exchanger (and is it hooked up right, filters cleaned, exhaust and intake not blocked)?

Check the condensate drain / pump on your furnace / AC. Our pump recently clogged and dumped a frankly shocking amount of water into our crawlspace over the period of about a week. And our condensate pump was filled with nasty bio-film sludge.

Not sure if mentioned but make sure your ac unit is sized properly as well as the obvious advice of dehumidifiers and other measure to reduce humidity. Having an oversized AC unit will cause high humidity | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
Something is wrong with your hvac. An air conditioner is a giant dehumidifier. It's not working correctly.

1) air conditioning? Running? Enough capacity/vents?
2) dehumidifier
3) put a fan in the area to stir air
A little 30% bleach to 70% water mix will wipe off the mildew.
Moving air and dehumidification will solve most/all of your problem.

What strings are attached to this? Licensed contractors only? Can you do the work yourself? What about permits, inspections, and fees? | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
Paint, caulking, a circular saw, a drill, some basic hand tools.
That will fix almost anything. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-16-08 |
18k where I live would be a high spec kitchen or reasonable spec kitchen and bathroom replacement.
