Stucco just finished on our remodel and there are what seems to be some unfinished areas. The weep screed needed to be raised to accomodate future pavers and be even on both sides, but this area right under will be exposed as it sits above/even the front door threshold. Can this metal be finished to match? Was something missed? Thank you!
Our GC's plumber hasn't been the best at reading plans. The toilet flange was not installed centered in a water closet. Off about 1.5 inches. GC is suggesting using an offset flange instead of redoing the newly installed plumbing. We still have an exposed concrete slab. Tile is waiting to get in there but this is hopefully our forever house. Should I insist on redoing it or is the offset good as a long term fix?
Excited and nervous to start putting our network together. I'm more of a set it and forget it type with something like this. I would like to have separate guest wifi access as well as the cameras on their own VLAN. I have run 1000 feet of cat6, yet to be terminated or rack chosen, to each location from a central guest room closet in our 2400 sq ft single level remodel (mostly square shaped house). My wife will have a home office mostly for taking meetings. Neither of us do any high workload computing. Also, I mostly have no idea what I'm doing but am skilled at overestimating my abilities. Please chime in if I'm missing something I should have or if anything seems overkill. Pardon any terminology errors. Here's what I'm looking at so far:
2 wifi access points + 3rd pre-wired if needed
3 TVs
media cabinet with 3-4 music streamers, Denon receiver, game console, etc
1 Home office port
1 doorbell cam
1 inside garage cam
4 exterior turrets, possible add 2-3 later

We're months into a full remodel and our curbless shower entry was missed. Drywall is being hung and tile is scheduled to start soon. GC wants to demo and pour new concrete for the recessed shower pan. He says 24-48 hours is sufficient time to allow for hot mopping. Every thing I've read says cure time is 28 days but since this pan isn't structual, less is ok but excess moisture in the concrete will steam and could disrupt the integrity of the waterproofing. Last thing we want to do is have to rip up a brand new bathroom in a year.
Any advice on wait times between new concrete and hot mop being ok at less than 28 days? Thank you all!
I've been exploring options for our TV wall. There will be open shelving to the left and flush flat drywall over a cabinet that opens to the back side on the right. Lower media cabinets on both sides. I mounted a board that is about 4 inches wider and a little taller than a 77 inch LG TV which will be able to be lowered with a mantel mount about two feet.
I've looked at using a bookshelf speaker on the left with a matching in-wall to the right as well as wall mounted. Also putting a bookshelf speaker in the cabinet with a mesh screen mudded into the right side cabinet. I don't believe we'll have adequate wall space on the left side unless we go to a 65 inch TV. Thinking center channel above the TV. This is one decent sized open room with the kitchen, living, and dining rooms with the couch being roughly 11 feet away from the TV when pulled down.
Any suggestions for some creative speaker options and placement solutions for listening to music and a 5.1 setup? Thank you all!
Remodel plan is some new stucco on additions as well as keeping some existing stucco. We will skim coat everything to match. This one area has some clear water damage under an area where we were keeping the existing stucco. Our GC added some new paper to the back but wondering if it's worth it to demo the stucco to feather in paper correctly from the outside.
