Maybe take a longer shot. Better perspective.

Not advice but a quote. “ Don’t sweat the small stuff, remember it’s all small stuff”

Interesting, I would say that you didn’t get the residual soap off the wall and it caused that reaction. Scrape off the bubbles, spot patch. Spot prime and you should be good

What is sugar soap?

Maybe the product was bad. I live in US northeast, so we get a lot of expansion and contraction also. The point of the caulking is it’s supposed to be flexible. I think that you had a bad batch of caulking or something.

There is a product called Quad. You can get it at big box stores. It isn’t very paintable. But you can groom it better than silicone. I would also recommend phenosil. My experience has been the clear caulking and silicone tend to yellow over time. But cracking after 2 yrs? That’s weird.

Awesome! I’m glad that I could help!!

Allen wrench. I don’t know the size. You can get a set of them fairly cheaply

There is probably a set screw on the bottom of the handle.

Cut the studs 1/2 way. Push it straight and sister with another pc of 2x4 or a rip of plywood. I’m assuming those aren’t bearing walls.

Like I said it’s specific. But there will as many opinions as there are users. Gutter must be functional and aesthetic.

Each installation is contingent on the existing conditions. Some are level some are pitched. Think about if you had a 50’ run you. One side would be 5” lower than the other, and it would look like crap. In that case. I hang the gutter higher in the middle and pitch it slightly to each side toward the leaders.

Screw done a pc of steel or plywood and use this. https://www.paintsupply.com/product/architectural-specialty-coatings-one/roof-driveway-coatings/roof-coatings/2-gallon-gaco-gp1525-2-gray-gacoroof-silicone-roof-patch/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=surfaces&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgNKxjvrr_AIVxd7ICh3tUAIMEAQYAiABEgISw_D_BwE It’s expensive but it’s designed for applications that you’re describing

In trade those spots would be called holidays. That’s quite common when you only apply one coat. The standard is two coats. When a wall is painted with two coats the finish is more durable.

When I 1st moved from Pittsburgh. I asked someone for a gumband. They had no idea what I was talking about until I said you know the rubber stretchy thing that you put around a bunch of envelope. They’re still laughing

Yeah, I agree it’s going to be time consuming. The grid is part of the frame that holds the glass in. Like some else stated the glass may fall out. It may fall out when you apply the window film. You’ll need someone on the outside to behold the glass in place while working on it. By the time you take the frame off, apply the window film, reseal and attach the frame. It’s probably gonna be a wash. But hey. Do what you’re comfortable with.

It's not recommended that you apply fiberglass insulation directly to a concrete wall. If you must use fiberglass, there needs to be a space between the insulation and the wall. If not, the place where the insulation touches the concrete will be overtaken by mold and mildew.

Why cant you window film each pane of glass. I know it’s possible. I’ve paid a company to do it. It was security film for a CEO of a Fortune 500 company. We couldn’t do it ourselves. They wanted a professional window film company to do it.

Okay air space? A gap? Void? Chose one. The point is you don’t want fiberglass insulation touching the concrete.

You are going to many different opinions. I’ll start, I use 2x4s for the wall with at least a 1” gap between the back of the stud and the masonry. That way you will have air flow and the insulation won’t rest against the concrete. I would paint the floor if it’s a shop.

Get it as smooth as possible. Then skim it 2 or 3 times with powdered joint compound like easy sand 90 if you want it smooth. You could do a rough plaster look also. Check out YouTube videos for that.

Then it seems like you got this!👍

When new terrazzo is polished by grinding it down. Call the professional before you get too involved and ask his opinion on how to approach

Exactly!!

That can easily be done. Sounds like you have zero experience. Call a carpenter. He can sister each joist on either side of the joist that you want cut out. Then he will head the joist off with hangers etc. I don’t know if the prize is worth the price though.
