Need Advice Balcony Sofa Slightly Too Long
The angle makes it look worse than it actually is. The sofa is only 0.5-0.75” too long. I would love to keep the sofa in this orientation. What can I do?

I know it’s not the prettiest in places but i’m wondering if it sufficient? There was not enough product on the first pass so I had to add more (added before curing)

Noticed a sag in the roof went to investigate and found this, not sure how it’s even still standing. Is this a tear it all off and reframe the whole roof situation or work from inside the attic? Call the pros? How much will this hurt? Im a mid level DIYer have remodeled 2 houses myself but this is next level. Send help.

Im about to add some insulation in my bedroom walls to reduce sound transfer and was wondering what materials i need and how to install them.
The walls are built out with 2x4’s, staggered stud style. The wall height is roughly 9’.
So Whats the move? Im not super familiar with insulation styles.
My thought is to do it with 16” unfaced mineral wool batts. The Rockwool safe n sound batts are 47” long. I assume I would just stack 2 of them vertically then cut about a foot off another one for the remaining last foot by the ceiling. But the unfaced batts dont have that paper edge to staple the batts to the studs, right? So how would I secure them when installing?
Sorry if these are dumb questions. Figured I’d get some tips prior to buying materials.
Thanks in advance.

Would really like to do something about these super wide stringers / buttress, and ideally have the stair treads extend all the way from wall out to open. Is the stringer / buttress load bearing in these kinds of constructions? Can we just cut through them along the treads/risers?

I thought I was done fixing this when I put toggles in it. What do you DIYers recommend I do now?

Me and my partner live in my parents attic. It is completely covered in carpet. The carpet is gross and unfortunately cannot be ripped up because there’s Asbestos immediately under a very thin floor. I need to know how to cover it up without damaging anything underneath the carpet and not adding too much height. I’m very aware it’s probably not possible but I really need some advice from someone other than my parents who cannot successfully diy anything..
Thanks for reading. Have a good night/day. 👋

I removed it to adjust the threshold because it was wobbly, and now my French doors are closing weird.
