Do you have an Air Miles Card?
When we moved into our house the dryer didn't dry at all. Not only was it clogged with lint, but the exhaust duct was the wrong kind that had a plastic lining which came off and clogged everything up into a gaint mess. I don't know what the PO was doing to dry their clothes, hanging them maybe?

Running the dryer three times per load and complaining about how much X brand sucks these days.

When I moved into my current house there was a rather old electric dryer that took two cycles to dry anything. I just assumed that it was shot and need to be replaced. So we check reviews and settle on a new gas dryer and matching front load washer to go with it, as they were both pretty old (this was 2019, pre-Covid supply chain stupidity). When the instal crew got out there they mentioned that they cleaned out what they could in the ducting, but we should probably call the store to have it done.

I figured it might be a long run, as it goes through the crawl space a ways, so I drop the $100ish to get a crew from Abt out there to clean it out. They got what looked like half a 55 gallon trash bag filled with lint when they were done with that vent.

I had a friend who was complaining about how it took 6+ hours to dry a load of laundry. Turns out the flexible dryer vent went up the wall into the attic, across an entire bedroom, then back down the wall to the exhaust. I talked him into letting me abandon that poo poo in the wall and running rigid lines more directly through the crawlspace and suddenly his dryer could finish in about an hour.

If the dryer took that long, I would just give up and hang the clothes to dry, even if I were unaware of the fire danger of running the dryer.

Is that insulation? That's kind of what it looks like, but I'm not really sure. I hope it's insulation because the weight of all that leveling compound would be enormous.

It's leveling compound. The original poster said it was a home from the 1800s bought by a flipper.

I'm conflicted on this because I trust people posting about their projects on the Internet to know what they're looking at about as much as I trust previous owners to do a good job.

If you look at the floor, you can see it was pointing a different direction long enough to discolour the tiles.

Though the threaded stud doesn't seem to line up with it having just been pivoted on it.

But whatever. Like the one goon said, its probably rage bait.

If it's earnest.... I would wager it's a 10" Rough for the toilet and someone only had a 12" rough toilet, turn it until the closet bolts line up somewhere and move on to the next job.

Edit: there is one tile and one sliver, estimate where you think the closet flange is.

Some flanges have the slots where the flange bolts can rotate around the flange, usually about 90 degrees. It's to make mounting the toilet perpendicular to the finished wall easier later. However, this one appears to be twisted clockwise as far as it would go.

My sister called me anal for papering the bottoms of cupboard shelves that were high enough to be viewed from below. I think there's a road in the middle somewhere, but I'm sure as gently caress not going to take it.

The toilet in the picture is not bolted to the flange. Do I need to go remove a toilet and take a picture just to show you how this works?
