Actually it is a 2" column when you account for the screw at the top
of the
lolly. Why isn't it encased in drywall? Code violation#1. No handrail
on the
stairs. Code Violation #2. Either the basement floor lifted or the
exterior
wall sunk. That beam is bent.


Wrong again. 4 inch column is standard and does not require a cosmetic
enclosure to be up to code. In fact there are companies that make
plastic, wood and even fabric covers for them, but they are not
required. There is a handrail on the staircase. The beam had no load
deflection nor does the one in the guest room which also had the pole
removed.





Done by photoshop.


Wow! Really???? Of course you really just admitted you're impressed by
suggesting that...and THANKS!


The acoustics in that room are going to be shameful. Such a low
ceiling and
highly reflective walls. Are you a troglodyte? Deaf? Cheap stereo?


Outside of a real sound room, the room is about the flattest around.
The floor is concrete and three walls are drywall over wood. Even
empty there is no audible reflections. I may actually have to add a
sub and tweak for more HF response, but we'll see.


Did you get your radon checked? 35% chance in your area you are
over 4.7
pc/L.

Don't you know anything about engineers for NY state? Radon check is
done twice and required by the insurance co. DId you know that a
proper test must be partially invasive on the ground floor? Of course
you didn't.
Well, the photoshop comment is all I needed. Thanks again!


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!
