Reply to Is it okay to spray foam the gap between drywall and a basement slab? by jaaassshhh

It sounds like the "gap" between the drywall and the floor is not the issue. Is the air coming through the concrete? Or between the concrete and the bottom plate of the framing? Or from above the bottom plate?

It seems more likely you need to seal the drywall to the framing.

Others have mentioned moisture from the other side of wall. Hopefully there is a barrier between the framing and the wet dirt around you.

Reply to Best way to flatten concrete walls outside of my house? by Remy4409

This may not be permissible in your area, but it seems like it would be much easier to add something to the concrete than to grind the concrete flat. In some of those pictures, it's not just seams, there are significant depth differences.

This is an incredibly silly idea.

It's incredible. It's like he makes it all so bizarre as a trick on the viewer. "This world is totally different than the one I live in." But then if you just describe it, it's a literal description of our world.

It feels (to me) like "satire" isn't the right word for it, but it's exactly the right word for it.

Reply to Attaching a wooden knife block to a tile backsplash without drilling. by mrHL7

I don't think there is an adhesive solution that will do what you want without damaging the tile when you remove it.

I suspect the texture on the tile is interfering, but also wonder if you've cleaned the tile well enough for the adhesives to work.

Perhaps two-part epoxy would work.

But I vote for drilling into the grout, as someone smarter than me suggested here.
