Can't believe they didn't end that by painting the entire surface, faceplate and all, with Landlord Special white paint.

The little tear at the end does it for me. Presumably from the pipe that they nailed the "repair" piece to.

Technically the only thing "wrong" with this, code-wise, is just that the receptacle isn't in a box? (Well, that AND mudding over the outlet and hitting the pipe with a screw.) Edit: Oh, they might also be using backstabs on the outlet.

This pic keeps on giving. The missing brick distracts from the fact that the gutter has no stop end. Also, at the end of the first corner piece after the running outlet, they have pushed a male pipe section inside of the corner where they should have pushed the corner into a female section. It's wrong even if you accept that they use a 90 when you really want to slope the bends on a downpipe (prevents mosquito nurseries). Also there's no fascia. Also what the gently caress is with the brick.

The rock she is supposedly using for the castle wall is breakable with minimal effort (she shows this in the first vid that mentions the castle) and almost certainly incapable of supporting compressive loads without help. It's either advanced ragebait and she'll build the wall out of a similar looking commercial stone (or not at all) or she's building the final boss of extremely dangerous attractive nuisances.

Also the random bit of nail plate sticking out of the roof, the huge chunk taken out around the pipe in the right and whatever that line is to the side of it (I thought it was an earth strap but doesn't look like it). The drain on the left looks weird as well.

Mining tends to be pretty tightly regulated due to a history of buildings disappearing into sinkholes and deaths underground. I haven't watched her videos but I strongly doubt she's actually compliant with all of the rules. The odds of her actually getting into trouble for that are extremely remote though.

Anything above it is basically guaranteed to crack in a few years

I was talking to a plumber about tiling, as you do, and he said that "the worst ideas are always single men, like the guy that wanted all white tiles and black grout and we ended up having to rip the whole lot out and redo it because it looked so bad" and well well well do I have a story about single men designing bathrooms for you my friend!
