It looks like some sort of foundation below that wall, so does that make it an external wall? Does that mean the siding has effectively become load bearing?

I see this and see that it is dumb and dangerous, but how would you do it so it's safe?

I'm pretty sure it's only dumb and dangerous if that's a load bearing wall. If it's more or less just a divider that has some utilities run through it and the studs aren't doing anything more than providing a spot to nail dry wall to it's fine. I've got a similar bunch of ancient nail plates over notched-out studs in the very much not-load-bearing wall between my kitchen and the bathroom where a poo poo ton of plumbing runs, and it's been fine for 70 years now. Obviously a different story if that wall is keeping the roof from being in the living room.

I don't know the exact details, but you are limited to the size of the hole and how far apart the holes can be and where they are in the beams. Random website I saw said that a notch like that couldn't be more than 1/3 of the way through the beam, but I'm assuming it would need to be strengthened with a bar once the wires are run.

Route it somewhere that doesn’t ruin the integrity of a structure? Soffits exist to hide poo poo you can’t route through a wall.

The fact that wall is sitting on concrete makes me think it’s load bearing

Isnt that what structural stud shoes are for? Basically a nail plate that goes around the hole and is designed for load bearing

Hmm, tough call on what fails first, the deck or the RV. I do like the nice touch of the giant dent on the RV slide out where it likely was opened into a tree or post or something.

Megillah Gorilla posted:I see this and see that it is dumb and dangerous, but how would you do it so it's safe? If the pipe absolutely, positively must take that route then either the 2x4 studs need to be replaced with 2x6 ones with drilled holes (max diameter 2+7/32") or 2x8" (3" max diameter) or have the pipe run slightly behind the studs so they don't have to be notched like that.

being AC lines, i bet the unit is just on the other side of the wall, i'd put money on it being load bearing.

They at least put wall plates in, the AC will still be standing when the rest of the wall falls down

And yeah you can do a reciprocating saw but also not take out 80% of the stud lol

Cat Hatter posted:That's nice of them to include screws since that thing would definitely get installed with drywall screws otherwise. I used to work at a warehouse that housed, among other things, plastic roofing (for sheds, verandas, gaze-bos, and other such follies). To cut down on shipping costs, anything that we (me and another big guy) could roll up was rolled up - usually the cap was like ten to a dozen sheets. We'd stick two big-rear end "OPEN UP IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID PERMANENT BENDING" stickers on each roll. Basically every time some customer complained it went like this:  "The dang sheets deformed, they're not straight at all!""They were delivered a week ago. Did you leave them rolled up in the sun for that long?"  "Of course not, I'm not stupid! I opened it immediately after delivery!""O I C" "And another thing: the screws are missing!""The screws are double-bagged inside the roll."  "gently caress you."

Sharing a set of steps in my neighbourhood. They've done some improvements to this set in the past week, they've painted the pallets black and also enclosed one side with plywood, indicating that this is a permanent installation.

Darchangel posted:Thank you for this. Happy to be of help. I'm glad that thing went on sale too. I hadn't wanted to get one at full price because I didn't need it for a project yet... Then it arrived and I remembered there's been a ceiling fan sitting in it's box for a week that I'd been too lazy to install. Breaker finder worked great. The auto calibration is neat. My wife was impressed that such a thing exists and glad she no longer needs to perform her wifely duties wrt hanging out waiting to tell me I've flipped off the right breaker. Some homegrown: I've now replaced two ceiling fans that were wired with separate hots for light/fan but then controlled from a single switch because nobody in the past ~40 years has bothered to hook the ends of the second wire to anything at either end.
