Obviously the chainlink fence must go but any other thoughts? | r/renovations | post | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Have you considered just painting the chainlink fence black?
Those back door steps look kind of steep and dangerous without a landing at the top.
The awnings could be redone to clean up some of the lines around the house.
And the siding job looks cheap. The whole place has the look of not seriously being updated s... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
A deck off the back , with a over hang roof would look sweet. A place for the barbecue , and table chairs, even a comfy love seat . | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |

I’d repaint the house a warm deep gold with white trim and remodel the unusual area with the window with a more modern simple window .

In the front i would build a deck with a proper landing and have a shed under for lawnmower and such..

Definitely replacing that basketball court fence with a nice wooden one, stained not painted. Better would be no fence, just hedges all around. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-18-08 |
Gifted house and found original building plans during declutter. One story ranch with half basement/drive under garage, other half is crawlspace. No renovations have taken place since it was build (late 60’s), no additions. We are planning a full update to the kitchen without plumbing layout changes. And, depending... | r/renovations | post | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Anything immediately above the beam in the crawlspace is supporting the rafters/trusses in the roofing system.
Not heavy loads but some | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
These are architectural drawings of the house, and don't really show details of the structural part itself. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Most likely; the wall between Family room and kitchen/ living rm. Also all the walls running down the centre on the rest of house. Ie lower kitchen wall stairs and between bedroom 1 and 2 | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Joists appear to be running the other way over the garage. The family room wall would be structural too | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Probably none depending on use of trusses or not. If any it is most likely whatever walls run down the middle of the house. Can you get in the attic and see if any ceiling joists overlap? | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Load carries top to bottom so anything on top of those piers is definitely point loaded.
A couple general clues if any wall running perpendicular to the joists is bearing and also look for main waste and hvac chases as they are almost always ran in the bearing walls since those ill almost never move so they are safe t... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Thank you for clarifying what we’re actually looking at. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |

r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 | |
There is a LOT of guessing going on in these answers. Without seeing the entire roof structure , everyone is just guessing. The beam in the basement is carrying the load from the floor joists. Most of the roof load would be to the long exterior walls. The ceiling joists MAY be supported by some of the walls that are p... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Not trying to be condisending to op, just advice for anyone
...if you are going to be ripping walls out yourself you should have the basic enginering knowledge to analyze how the joists support the floor and trusses carry the roof ect, and then pay for the professional report to confirm before proceeding unless you h... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
I agree, in the upstairs, probably none. The roof rafter detail is in one of the plans, and the photo confirms, that the roof is rafters so no wall in that should be structural, but an engineer should be the one to make that determination. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
The wall that goes along the center of the house dividing the bedrooms is likely the load bearing wall. The load is continuous and should carry all the way to the foundation. The basement plans shows piers supporting the beam which is carrying the load from the walls above. It is possible that the only bearing walls ar... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
You need the engineering plans. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Generally the walls that are not at the gable ends of the roof are your load bearing walls. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
r/boneappletea | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Going by the detail drawings and nothing more, the roof rafters themselves should be able to span the 13’-3” easily without additional support, although snow load ect changes the final numbers, that is a short span for a 2x8 in any case and I’d wager they don’t exceed any limits without support. The ceiling joists howe... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
This seems likely. Up in the attic the ceiling joists - not the rafters - over the family room should be turned and go perpendicular to the rest of the joists in the attic. That's how come that room is open and it does then make the front to back wall on the bedroom side and the outer gable load bearing. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
You need the structural set. 🤦♂️ | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
No offense taken, I totally would not be ripping out anything on my own. I am able to do some cosmetic updating and home repair, but wall removal is not my skill set. I was just looking for help identifying the likely load carrying walls so I can know which of my scenarios of a remodel would be most feasible. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |

We will be hiring out for sure, but just had my wheels going in a couple directions for renovation.

It looks like a solid house. Good luck with the renos...they are always an adventure and as a contractor if you have questions then always ask before something is done.

What are your experiences of sanding your own floors? I've just bought a house and pulled up the carpet. Looks like it's been done before and then covered with carpet for 20 years. I plan on diy.

Meh, I did a bedroom about 12 x 14 and bathroom 5x5 in red oak 2 3/4 inch wide. Used a regular rather large belt sander and an orbital sander. Took a couple days tinkering with it but it wasn’t that terrible. But if you want you used to be able to rent a drum sander and edge sander. That’s ASSUMING you have the common ... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
It's a really gruelling job, and cleanup is a nightmare. To do it efficiently you need a drum sander but it's easy create grooves in the floor if you aren't careful. The oscillating Sanders work but take forever. It's certainly doable, but I'd hire someone if I were doing it again. I did a 1400sqft floor in a previous ... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
If you do it yourself, be very cautious. It'll cost you more in the long run if you damage the wood. The belt sander can very easily damage the floor if you're not very careful.

i rented a big random oscillating pad sander from HD, and it went pretty well. but i was only taking down a small amount of surface. I was afraid if i rented a drum sander, i would gouge the floor by accident.

It’s a lot, but to us it was worth it. The previous owners put down hand scraped acacia in a chocolate stain. Their large dogs had ruined the finish with nail gouges because of how soft the wood is.

I am a bit scarred from dealing with contractors so I’m now very cautious of picking who does work on my place. We have a 35 year old townhouse, and we levelled the floors. So now all the door openings and closet openings are just slightly not standard.

Go with the one who will use a level and has attention to detail. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Either are fine. Which one cost less? I do think cutting on site is better personally cause Fi there doing off site they will probably go a little higher to be safe in case your floors are off at all and can shoot a laser and set all the door at the same height without gaps at the bottom of the door frame. Sometimes th... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
To me, it feels like Installer 1 is the better option since he was recommended by the door vendor. However, a lot would depend on the cost of the custom size doors and the lead time to get them. If the cost or lead time is unacceptable, go with Installer 2. Hollow core doors have enough room on top and bottom to allow ... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
The language barrier makes it hard for me to understand what’s they’re planning on doing entirely. I think both have reasonable lead times. They’re just interior hollow core doors so pretty standard.
I think I was concerned with trimming on site if too much block was trimmed and it would compromise door integrity | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
They’re both relatively the same price. Installer 2 very slightly more expensive. I’d like a 1/2” gap at the bottom roughly if possible. I’d cut by the door vendor, they will reblock entirely and if cut on site then they will trim some of the existing block | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
That seems like or would be installer 2 who will cut on site | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |

You are overthinking this. You do not have to root out the mold spores. You merely have to kill them. Once they are dead, there is no way for them to spontaneously regenerate. Dead is dead.
Clean everything well. Use your enzymic cleaners. If you wish, also use Concrobium or a similar mold killer. Then move o... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-18-08 |
That's... extensive damage. Not sure it's actually MOLD, but there's definitely damage to the hardwood flooring. It looks more like oxidation than mold to me.
Ultimately the permanent fix is weaving in new boards to replace what's damaged, sanding to level, and refinishing. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-18-08 |
If you're not at a "refinish the floor" point just yet: scrub it with Barkeeper's Friend and a stiff brush, let that sit for a while to lighten the wood, mop with vinegar, rinse with water, wipe down with a 50/50 of polyurethane and Danish oil or BLO. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-18-08 |
Thanks first time hearing of Barkeepers friend but looks like people love it! I'm definitely planning on refinishing the wood. It needs it. But will have to see how much I actually need to replace beforehand. I guess I'll just have to sand down and see how deep the damage is, at least on one plank to make the decision.... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-18-08 |
Thanks yeah that's reasonable. Will need to include a few extra steps to clean up or replace these boards as well. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-18-08 |
Hi guys, we're currently redoing the floors and have found water damage in the hallway (the wall behind the shower).
It doesn't feel wet, smells a bit mildew-y. We plan to regrout/silicone the shower. Just wondering if this is something to worry about? | r/renovations | post | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Looks pretty minor from here. You still want to find the cause asap though.

There’s gonna be a header above there that will need to be as a wide as the larger door you plan to put in. If it’s short you’d find a stud there and can’t just cut it out without doing structural work. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |

That'll be very costly. Try to find siding to match and just replace as needed. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
The most cost-effective way to make this look decent is to cut back the siding to the same deeper reveal symmetrically and have some nicer trim. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
This right here. Garden doors are an odd size as well. They can be simple if the same size door setup is purchased. If you want to go with wider door slabs, prepare for a more lengthy install, that may require opening drywall and additional framing work. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
Add a handrail along your house to match the outside of the deck | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
You have to reframe the wall with a new structural header and cripple studs. So opening all the drywall inside, reframing, possibly moving some electrical, redrywalling, retrimming.
Much cheaper to patch the siding. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-17-08 |
If all you're trying to do is cover that gap just put wider exterior trim on.
