the diverter on the faucet chooses either faucet or showerhead
there's typically a separate diverter to choose rainfall or handheld
Not sure if what you want exists - it may - but this is how it's typically done

it increases R value per inch, but loses inches. The R value actually goes up when compressing fiberglass.

Reply to Attic ventilation with spray foam insulation? by shanedn
You do not want those vents in a hot roof type attic. It's part of conditioned space and you aren't insulated between the "warm" attic and "hot" (relatively speaking) house. If it's part of the thermal envelope it should not be vented. The point of the spray foam is to provide an air and moisture barrier.

you've got plenty of wire to do so! good luck with the rest of the install
jinbtown t1_j1nunhx wrote
Do not install the junction box in the same cabinet space as the dishwasher. Dishwashers can occasionally vent into their cabinets if the one way air equalization valve fails, and junction boxes are a notorious spot for electrical failures, smoke, and fires. You need to be able to get at it if something happens. Pulling your dishwasher out to get to it is not a good option. Mount it as high up as possible as well.

The top of the opening in this picture clearly shows floor joists running perpendicular to this beam

Those are structural. I can see the floor joists tied into the header above that post. Looseness means nothing - just means the floor has sagged more than the second story floor, which is common.

I pretty regularly see mobile gantries for sale with huge capacities for under $1000 on FB marketplace, maybe try checking there

Lateral stability is extremely important for posts carrying a gantry. Gantries have 4 feet forming a triangle for this exact reason! You're totally right about uplift which is v important for open structures

that's what I would do. for fences they recommend 1/3 - 1/2 of the exposed height, and this is carrying a lot more weight than a fence! the weight being 8' off the ground means there's a lot of torque on those posts if the load gets off center. Make sure that 4x4 is sitting on a proper bell end too - you need uplift resistance since this has a roof and open sides, the wind can produce thousands and thousands of pounds of uplift force on the underside of the roofHave you considered a mobile gantry for lifting stuff? You could make the entire structure floating if you did that

totally, and knee braces will help stiffen it! Personally would want more than 2' of concrete setting depending on how high you're going. if you're going 8' up I'd want 4' in the ground

bolt to a plate on top of concrete column or footer.
the structure needs to be rigid to prevent racking or twisting, make sure your fourth wall that you pull into has some sort of shear protection
notch your 4x4's for the cross beam/rafter. the 4x4 will be fine for 1000 lbs per post, but that's a lot of weight for a dimensional lumber rafter, so make sure what you're using is strong enough for a point load of that much weight. Might want to use a knee brace or something to reduce the span

atmospheric vented gas furnace? if so it's providing make up air for combustion, and yes, it's necessary. Without it you might suck exhaust and CO back into you home.
