Located in Ohio if that changes anything. I feel like there should be a plate there

I saw this at a local park while out on a walk today and it blew my mind. But like…

Where does waste go? (Hopefully not into the river) How does one even get enough electricity to power a home on a… barge? boat? What does one even call this isolationist daydream? Can one order food delivery to something like this? Is this legal on saltwater or only rivers? How common is this outside the northeastern US? I have so many questions.

Tl;dr: I’m curious as to how homes like this work

I saw this in the news, I'm curious about the building. Are the walls: basement + first floor? or all basement walls? And why so many concrete dividers in the middle? Do I also see some base chimney? I'm genuinely interested in knowing why all the extra concrete walls.

Hello

I'm planning on building a shed in my back yard. I wanted it to be a shed style roof (lean to?) with no gable. The front will be 8 feet tall and the back (20 foot span) will be 6.5 feet to accommodate a slope.

Now the question. Is there a way to calculate the birds mouth dept in order to make the roof flat taking account the 7 foot and 6 foot distance. I'm trying to avoid a hight different on the roof so it's easier to install shingles.

I plan to allow for a 1 foot overhang. Since it's a shed I was going to use 2x6 24 on center. Never built a roof before so I'm not sure if this is even possible.

Thanks in advance. Hopefully the sketch is helpful and I'm asking the correct subreddit.

Hi! For this 10x12 sq ft house I used ship lap board as sheathing.

I was thinking of not using house wrap to avoid mold from growing if water ever does get it. Tiny house is located in Central Texas.

As siding, I was thinking I could use cedar fence boards instead of already beveled cedar siding boards.

Any thoughts ?

Hey there all. throw away account for my identity. I recently got the siding on my house replaced on only one side of the house. an independent contractor from our HOA completed this. I was told that the siding only needed to be replaced on one side of the house and painting all exterior of the house.. I am female live alone and do not know much about this so that is why I am reaching out. my contractor replaced the siding with hardie siding panels in February. he put the planks on the house and we had a few snow storms and he didnt come back over til about a month after asking for an update on when he will be finishing. he started painting the house when he returned. he did not seem to go to that side of the siding before he started to paint. so unsure if there are steps missed and I also did not observe this moisture wrap (i hear that's important) at all when he was putting the panels up. have been having more moisture in my bathroom walls that are on the same side where he replaced the siding. it has also been a drought here too. there are a lot of visible dark spaces in between the panels and when my father asked him what moisture barrier he used he said he caulk it. now reading about hardie panels it isnt recommended to use this and should have used butt joints behind the panels or something?? can someone look at these pics and see if this guy screwed up? thank you for your time.

How would you guys recommend me build bases around these pillars? There were already dry wall bases built around them, but water damage rusted the framing and the walls started falling apart.

This project was a 4 piece modular home, 80% assembled in factory and the extra 20% onsite work and finishing touches. The dark floors with white wash T&G is so elegant and gives such a clean look. Railings are also so unique but what a pain the __ to install. Right outside sits a beautiful clear pond where the homeowner intends to spend most of his time. Let me know your thoughts and favorite features of the home!

Thank you in advance for all the positive and supportive comments!

What would be the best option for insulating this ceiling? It is just beams and 2x6 T&G with shingles on top. Structural engineer doesn't want us to redo the roof to add Zip R-3 on top of the existing 2x6 T&G because of the increased dead load. (The beams are of unknown specifications.) Any other options for roofing solutions? We like the look of the 2x6 T&G from below so I'd prefer to redo the roof somehow...

Thanks ya'll! I really appreciate all the advice!

Seems like these cracks are showing up a lot more in the past 3 months, every baseboard pretty much looks like this. Cracks in the stucco under every window. Whats your opinion? Should I bring this up to the builder?
