Just got the inspection report and after working up the nerve to install the smoke detectors the report literally had a picture of one of the detectors installed THE DAY BEFORE with a note "update and replace all smoke detectors and install Carbon Monoxide detector near bedrooms"! The one in the hallway outside the bedrooms IS a Carbon Monoxide detector!
That's... strange. Really really bad inspector?
He put "major deterioration of roof shingles". We had a roofer out this morning and said we have at least 10 years left on the roof. Soo..yeah. If you can't trust an inspection company with "Dawg" in the name then who can you trust anymore?
That's brutal, I'm not even sure what you do with that. Was this someone else's inspector, like the buyer? Or was this you guys just getting it ready to sell?
This was the inspector hired by the people buying our house. The buyers said they weren't going to ask for any major repairs so the only thing they asked for was for us to have the roof inspected and we did and he wrote up a certificate they the roof is fine. So basically were done with that. The minor stuff (like smoke detectors) is on them after they move in.
Did you already say where you got that chevron patterned counter top?
Lowes. It was like $330 a slab. Bought two and cut. Color really came alive after sealing.
Wow, I dig that.
Thanks, it's from the website "Article". I have to say I am super impressed with the quality on this thing. It is solid AF. The table weighs 180 lbs.
Being all cinderblock do you have ceiling dampers or anything in there? Feels like it could get loud/boomy.
Hahaha well it ain't audiophile that's for sure. That's the back garage so that's a huge double garage door that opens on the right there, and then two all weather event monitor speakers on stands in each corner to the left. But honestly it's not boomy, it's loud but it actually sounds quite good. Now if I was to blast the speakers with the door shut mayyyybeee however the door is insulated so that may help? By the ceiling is all wood and has insulation around all the joists so I think that likely helps too.
Nice. I’m hoping I can pool my bonuses next year with the ol’ tax refund and have a landscaper build me a nifty outdoor entertaining space in my giant waste-of-a-land-parcel yard. I love the extra not-in-the-house entertaining space like you have. My garage is too small, in use, and frankly about as structurally sound as an appliance box (all due apologies to appliance boxes).
I think that's a good call, it's a great space to have the option of using. I've got a wood heating stove in there, but I've never actually used it. But yeah in terms of sound baffling, I'm not sure if it's the fact that the door is always open or the ceilings are pretty high or that cinder block doesn't reflect sound as much as one would think, but it really does sound pretty good in there so you probably won't have to worry too much about that.
