Yeah, there are a number of older houses like this in our area, where they've clearly gone through 2-3 stages of additions plus like turning the attic into a finished space which have turned the whole thing into a weird, cramped labyrinth. I promise that place is like twice as claustrophobic as it looks in the photos. Our realtor even took us to a place that I explicitly told her we weren't going to buy because I wanted to see it so bad. One master bedroom has a large bathing tub inexplicably set into the wall, in addition to there being an attached master bath and another bathroom down the hall.

Finishing a reno/fixing what the previous contractor screwed up. I swear if he touched a level while framing he would have burst into flames. The lady wasn't happy when I told her I was going to have to rip out at least 1/3 of the wiring because it was nowhere in the same galaxy as code. One 15amp breaker went to a light switch, then a string of three lights, two outlets, another switch, another three outlets then a water pump and then back to another 15amp outlet.  (the one daisy chain was more matters and electrical tape than wire, and ended as the top plugin in an outlet, while the other breaker ended as the bottom of that same outlet)One doorframe that could not be fixed (only shimmed then framed) was 3/4" too short for a door, and along one side was a complete inch and a 1/4" out. I framed in and hung two doors downstairs in the basement and she couldn't believe that it was possible to do in a morning. I asked why she kept the other guy on since he's done two months of work in a year and a half. She said they started dating a month after he started and she hired me when they broke up. The absolute most obvious sign he was not the guy for the job was when he took a full two days to floor a 12x14' room with click-together laminate flooring. I managed to the other two bedrooms, kitchen/livingroom and hallway in a day, which was fun since he reframed the rooms and had obviously never used a square it tape measure.

Jesus; that sounds exactly like my sister's ex. At one point, the bathtub in the one bathroom was fed by a copper pipe sticking out of the wall, and the floor was bare plywood. While left like that, he was in the other bathroom, busy hand-tiling a corner sink. With tiny mosaic tiles. The sink was improperly installed, but drat if he didn't spend six weeks gluing one tile at a time to it. I spent years re-doing his hosed-up poo poo. I would dread every time the phone rang & it was my sister. What made it worse is that we had to arrange it so I could repair his gently caress-ups while he was not around to see or hear of it, or he'd get into a three-day snit.

When I was doing the metal roof I got half way along one side and said to myself, "wow, this is going on really straight, I've only jogged it up maybe 1/16" over the 25 feet. By the time I did the whole side I was jogging it by 1/4" each 3' sheet and the last piece of metal was 1" at the top and 3" at the bottom. In all honesty, I would have told her to start over if I showed up a year ago. In the bathroom there are 6"x2' tiles on the floor, and the guy laid one that was sticking 4" into the hallway. . . and never cut it! I don't have a tile say, so I told her to grab a few handfuls of cutting bits for her dremel and make an afternoon of it.

3D Megadoodoo posted:Seriouspost: OK now I've gotta see it; how can a knife be right-handed? At a guess, the handle is curved, and the knife has a bend in it, such that if you hold it comfortably in your left hand, the bend causes the blade to go the wrong way. I cannot however, conceive of why someone would design a butter knife like this.

The offset makes it easier to use the entire flat of the blade and have it contact the food at a better angle. Also it keeps your knuckles from hitting the food but it has to be a large food before that is a concern E: TooMuchAbstraction posted:At a guess, the handle is curved, and the knife has a bend in it, such that if you hold it comfortably in your left hand, the bend causes the blade to go the wrong way.

That's anathema. The bend makes it harder to butter a slice of bread that's flat on a surface, unless you have it in your left hand

Yeah that's right. You're not qualified to comment on the functionality of a butter knife. That's devastating I'm sure. Hopefully you find a chance to acquire one and test it out.

3D Megadoodoo posted:Not with butter, no. Look I know that Finland does everything completely differently to the rest of the world but this isn't that hard Jerry, you slice the butter with the knife, carry it from the dish to the bread on the "inside" of the knife, i.e. the side that your diagram shows facing the bread, and then, and here's the real tricky bit, you dump the piece of butter on the bread, flip the knife over, and spread the butter with the OTHER SIDE whoaaaaaaaaaa did I just blow your mind there? Like, as someone pointed out, frosting a cake, such that the offset in the knife helps you. Also yes, it is common to hold the bread in your hand as you butter it, such that you can angle it appropriately and have a more forgiving and self-adjusting amount of equal and opposite force applied counteracting the butter knife (since, for instance, if the butter is cold and you have soft toast, it may be tricky to apply without tearing the bread apart, and you can use your fingers to apply pressure more accurately opposing where the knife is at any given point in time). There, that's far more words and thought than actually is necessary or that anyone actually puts into the simple task of applying butter to bread using a butter knife. And yes, people do butter away from themselves, or towards themselves, or in all kinds of directions depending on their whims, the bread, and the butter, because, and this is the important part, buttering bread is an unconscious action that people do in the way that is most convenient at the time. That said, your diagram clearly shows bread sitting directly on the table while being buttered, so apparently you're a dirty heathen who doesn't use a plate which is probably the most horrifying bit out of all of this.
