I find it hard to believe that nobody out there has ever tried their hand at a Groverhaus Doom map. Or maybe a Quake map would be more appropriate, interdimensional Lovecraftian horror and all that.

That deck (boardwalk?) one doesn't look like crappy construction either. Given the sand and the wet wood I'm guessing it's near a beach or something, and the wood looks weathered as gently caress. It looks like whoever maintains it doing a pretty decent job of repairing problems caused by the conditions that it's living in. The fasteners they're using aren't straight, but they're doing a decent job of holding some pretty distressed looking wood together.

If all that was done at once as part of someone building it I'd make a face, but if it's a groundskeeper or homeowner quickly taking care of a board that warped in salt water and is popping loose before doing what they actually planned to do that day I'm kinda OK with it.

My parents granite counter tops have lil risers onto which the faucets are mounted.

Because the installers cut the wrong holes at first. They cut holes for the large faucet at the prep sink cutout, and holes for the small faucet at the bigass main sink cutout. There wasn't enough stone left to redo the giant pieces with the cutouts in them, so some offcuts were shaped nicely and used to cover the hosed up cuts.

There was actually tons of stone left, it would just require them to swap out all of the stone with new pieces. The installers didn't want to take the loss for their fuckup and instead had your parents settle with an inferior installation. Hopefully they at least got a discount on it after that.

This has happened several times to my mom including with her granite countertops, and she made them rip everything out and do it again according to the contract. She got called some colorful names by them but she has the installation she paid for.

You may well be right. The story we were fed was that my parents picked some unique stone and they hardly had enough of in the warehouse for the area of countertop in the first place blah blah. Who knows, I was like 9 when they were building the house so I had more important concerns.

Yeah I don't mean to be mean but it irks me so much when people are like "Well that's just the way it is and I guess I have to take an L because the professionals I'm paying to do it right screwed it up!" I've done it myself once and it's one of those memories that makes me cringe at in hindsight, and filled me with rage every time I looked at it until I fixed it myself.

It's just mind boggling how bad a lot of contractors are at their profession and then when you call them out on their terrible job they're just like "Well you're the only one whos ever complained!", and they're probably not even lying judging by the butcher jobs I see when I tour open houses.

They will loving lie about that poo poo all day long.

My parents had a granite countertop put in a while ago and they dropped it while installing it. Cracked it right in half. Wanted to give them something insultingly nominal like 5% off and repair the crack, which would have included filler. When my mom pushed back it was all about how this was the only piece this size/shape/color/whatever on the entire west coast and they would have to get another from their distributer which would take months, maybe half a year etc. Wouldn't you rather have a working kitchen sink rather than live in a construction zone that long?

When she called their bluff they had a new one in less than a week.

edit: to be clear this wasn't some kind of high end custom installation, it's a pretty normal L-shaped countertop.

It could be an installation in the desert. For most of my formative years I never dried a dish. I'd pull it out of the dishwasher and by the time it made it into the cupboard it was dry.

It also took about 11 minutes for a pair of jeans to dry on the line out back. Sopping wet to board stiff in under a quarter hour.

Dishes you take from the dishwasher are dry even if you don't live in the desert, FYI.

I live in an alpine valley desert and my dishwasher doesn't dry my dishes. It takes a few hours with the door cracked open.

It's like bachelor laundry. Clean pile, dirty pile. Clean cabinet is the dishwasher until the dirty pile in the sink needs to go in.

A lot of that video was just punching down. I didn't listen to the audio but like the glass on the wall thing is extremely common as it's a very cheap deterrent to people jumping your fence. The only really scary things there that was fixable for a dollar or two were the uncovered meter bases. The sketchy foundation is obviously a bad hazard as well but it's not something someone chose to do.

Literally all of that is stuff you can see in rural Michigan.
