How should I light these stairs? Please help. We have a loft situation and I am trying to figure out the best way to light it. My initial thought was a light at the bottom of the stairs and one at the top by the doors, but I’m worried about having light shining right at eye level when you’re going up or down.

I feel like anywhere else will have a similar problem but also have the issue of the light being right next to you as you walk past it.

Would a light on the wall by the upstairs bedroom door work? I really want to make sure the top of the stairs is illuminated.

There will also be an overhead light in the ceiling (you can see the wire in the third pic), but we can’t easily install more ceiling lights. Theres also one area in the third pic that has a red x because a light can’t go there.

Appreciate any thoughts!

So these guys told the homeowner that the crooked footings were no big deal because these amazing looking walls would fit on top no problem. For real though would you guys be concerned about this holding up a two-story house with a basement walkout? This is the wall on the walkout side

What Should I Look For? It’s my first time building a house, and I’m working with a contractor. How detailed should I be when reviewing plans and progress? Are there any common red flags or things I should watch out for early in the process?

Just got my wall done by a professional. Is this ok? Is this sloppy or normal I do not know. Can anyone chime in?

Curious about building an interior wall against an exterior brick wall. Should there be some sort of moisture barrier or plastic sheeting between these wall studs and the brick? It's for an enclosed addition onto the back of the house. If not a barrier, should the points where the studs meet the brick be sealed with a bead of caulk? Should there be some type of paneled insulation? What are the options here? Or is this as it should be?

So, although I’m hesitant to share my little project here, I’m very proud of how it came out. I started over a year ago with ripping out a garden tub and moving a toilet, and proceeded, step by step to build myself a little 4x5 sauna. Is it perfect? Nope, but I did it, and it’s great. Been using it almost every day. Some things to note, I was obviously tight on space so had to do the best with what I had. This is right across from the shower in our bathroom which is nice. It does have Rockwool v***r barrier/spacers. Right now I only have one mechanical vent under the top bench, and a crack under the door. I may add two more vents as necessary but I’m very happy right now with the temps and airflow so we’ll see. The heater is a Havia 6kw. All cedar 6x1 tongue and groove and 2x4s. There’s a drain in the floor and the benches slide and are removable due to the tight quarters. It fits two of us and we’re enjoying it so far!

I'm looking to replace this old retaining wall (the lower one) that abuts a newer concrete sidewalk. I didn't put the sidewalk in so I'm not sure how deep the concrete is. One of my ideas was to use a boulder wall to replace the wood beams, but I'm looking for advice on whether or not there needs to be a space between the boulders and concrete. I would prefer not to have one, but my landscaper wants to put rocks or soil in a 6-8" gap and lay geotextile for reinforcement. I'm just not understanding the purpose of all that given that it wouldn't be serving as a structural support for the sidewalk, and the boulders aren't going to lean in the way that stacked stone could. In my mind, it seems more decorative than anything. Thoughts?

This is just an addition to my first post as I didn’t add pictures of the outside of the house. The basement leak is pretty much inline with right panel of my door.

The outside pictures were taken right after the downpour. There wasn’t any pooling around the foundation.

If you’re new here - we just had a heavy downpour and the rain was pouring down onto the side of my house. I checked my basement and water was leaking through the wall somewhere.
