Figure while there’s no washer here may as well work and clean out the dryer vent…
Line looks clean so that’s a good sign.

Kevin you dumb motherf$@#%r.... you stupid SOB...why the f$@k would you not allow for at least 1" of stupid clearance above the washer and dryer you put in. You dumb, idiotic, f$@k...
Now I need to raise the entire sink, counter and everything that goes with it. FML....
I'm going to punch that *** in the face if I ever see him. And no...I can't lower the legs any more. I'd have to remove them completely.

Just cut the top off the new machine to make it shorter
To be fair the cabinets were likely set-up to fit the old machines, not thinking about standards... Fair DIYer mistake IMO.Reminds me of the old Italian guy I worked with in maintenance at a hotel BITD... The fire extinguisher supplier screwed up and sent the wall mount security boxes for the wrong models and they were all too short for our extinguishers. They were giving us the run around to make it right... so he says to them "I just cut the bottles so they fit." We had new boxes the next day, I guess they took him serious.
Easiest option is to keep the legs...but remove the adjustment nuts....Just cut the top off the new machine to make it shorter

Recently had a foundation repair on the front of the house, we went full "Kevin" and had the entire front foundation sealed so we should (hopefully) never have to deal with a leak again. Now the ground had started settle and is 12-16 inches low, we're going to need to fill it. But, this might be a silly question, we plan on having a poured concrete porch on the front of the house, level with driveway and front entrance (no steps) so it can be cleared easily with the snow blower, any water from the downspouts will run into 4" PVC under the porch and about 10' away from the house.
Should we fill the void with dirt, gravel or both (layer of dirt then a layer of gravel) being that it will be a 100% covered surface once completed.
I'm thinking dirt then a few inches of gravel to prevent the area from getting muddy as we'll have to wait to the fall before concrete is poured to ensure everything is solid... Any experts want to chime in, I'd love a little insight.. Thanks!

I would just fill with dirt for now if doing it DIY. Do the gravel as a proper base when the concrete is getting done.
Dirt is easier to remove and adjust when it comes time for the concrete. If you have to remove some at least you are just getting rid of dirt (spread it anywhere) not dirt mixed with stones.
Yea good point, want to ensure that the ground is 100% solid before any concrete gets poured cause if that sinks... yikes what a mess that will be..
I'll just cover the dirt with landscape fabric so it doesn't grow a million weeds and my dogs don't get filthy..
FU Kevin…

Oh that son of a B will never fully disappear.
Bath Reno quandary.
Nothing is worse than taking a short cut, having it fail, ripping it out and then doing it right the second time around.
The short cut is going with laminate flooring over the existing floor which is diagonal 1X 6 spruce, 1/4” poplar ply and vinyl sheet.
The tub stays but gets a surround and new doors
Add a bucket of paint and we’re done
Materials should be under $1500 with modest mess and effort.
What I’d really like to do is a full rip out but that calls for a major demolition of the room, wallet and possibly marriage
Are the trades still busy, the good ones?

That is a quandary. I’m never putting laminate flooring in a modern bathroom , I would consider engineered hardwood or luxury vinyl plank. The laminate doesn’t like humidity or moisture ( regardless of what the salesman says ) and you can do either vinyl or hardwood over the mess you have and be fine . I’d rip out the tub , surround and all , but that’s me .

Hack and pack on a bathroom is like putting of a necessary divorce - you just prolong the agony.
They are normally small rooms, so it you want it for utilitarian purposes they should be quick and easy to reno. Full surround fiberglass tub, box-store vanity/sink/faucet combo, and if you're not picky, you can always find lux-vinyl for $2.50/sq'.
Take your wife to Naigara Falls for the weekend. Bring @mimico_polak's dad and kid in, leave the material and $3K on the counter, you'll come back and it will be like one of those Bathfitter commercials.
Do not put laminate in a bathroom. It’s not made for it. It’ll warp from the moisture.
Ask me how I know. Parents decided to upgrade cottage and ran laminate throughout entire house…the laminate beside the toilet is showing signs of water damage. The rest is perfect.
I blame my mother for wanting laminate in there. Never again.
