That's barely a step above the roommate who illegally subdivided the living room of a shared apartment using only drywall.

Every time some hipster douche builds something out of wood pallets, the internet has an orgasm. I think I'm going to start a business selling locally sourced socio-conscious wood pallets. With organic nails.

I’m going to sell luxury pallets, made from the most endangered of tropical hardwoods. Rhodium nails.

Is there even a way to build something like this and have it not look like poo poo/be poo poo construction? If so, is there any way to accomplish that while remaining temporary?

If you just want to have your TV in the middle of the room, get a ceiling mount. If you want some kind of wall to go with, make a bookshelf that goes out into the middle of the room. You can lag-bolt the bookshelf to the wall so it won't fall over (requires a bookshelf with fairly substantial side panels). I'm actually planning to do the latter to my front room so I can visually subdivide it a bit.

If he put on a stain and finished the back it would look 1000x better. Still be constructed like poo poo, but would at least look halfway decent.

The guy mentioned in the comments that he hates "tacky pallet craft" but then he went to lowes and purposfully picked out the cheapest $1 lumber they had, the exact stuff that pallets are made of.

Yes, in fact it's already built. Only you built it tight enough to wedge itself into the space, and only use few control trim screws in ceiling and wall. Those could be patched quickly, unlike the hardwood floor. If you want it to be free standing, make it in L shape

Nitrox posted:In PA a difference between one and the other is $400. Don't think just because they've managed a 2 page application and signed a check, they will do a better job. In PA (a commonwealth) it varies by municipality. Sane ones require contractors who do work in their jurisdiction to have liability insurance and post bonds and poo poo so their residents don't get screwed by people like that.

And since we're kind of on the subject, what is a good way to patch a hole in a wood floor anyway?

It's more like three boards in a 2'x2' patch that needs refinishing anyway. Guess I should just bite the bullet and do it.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Did he do that entire thing with toenailed drywall screws? That is some ridiculously clean toenailing. Today found me looking at a deck, where someone apparently said "You know what? as long as there's a fastener involved somewhere here, and these two pieces of wood are notionally associated by that, I don't care where it's going. I'll shoot an interior brad through this baluster sideways, glue two magnets to the stringer and no fucks will be given. Yes, I said they're interior finish nails, rust builds character. This piece of wood is one inch short of being flush between two posts, but I'm using three inch nails, so I'll just 'toenail' in about three or four of 'em until it only wobbles a little bit. I'm going to break this mother in pieces like I'm splitting logs for loving kindling, just for fun." Never pay your 'contractor' in beer up front.

Effective-Disorder posted:Never pay your 'contractor' in beer up front. This worked out pretty well for me when my little brother punched two holes in a wall during a house party when my parents were out of town and I had to find a drywall guy on 3 days notice. Jokingly mentioned it at work and one of the guys said his friend would do it for a flat of beer as long as at least 6 were cold when he got there. The parents only found out because my dad smelled fresh paint when he walked in the door and knew something had happened.

I've got bad taste, I like hunter green and dark cabinetry for office spaces. But you have to go whole hog and have dark crimson carpet and a giant wingback chair. And bullet holes in the wall spelling out VR. I also kinda like that backsplash, but with much lighter cabinets and appliances.

And bullet holes in the wall spelling out VR. The problem is more that 1. it's a cliche for everyone of these houses to have exactly that kind of study/office setup. Nowadays the middling rich probably all have Don Draper mid-century offices instead. 2. That same problem with trying to sell luxury with cheap materials applies as with the rest of the house. An old school, Sherlock Holmes study with real wooden cabinetry is a beautiful thing. The Rooms-to-Go plywood special is not.

Nah it's still good, it's just actually written with an actual understanding of architecture and design that requires at least a little bit of knowledge and actual taste to get. If any of the things she rants about seems "not so bad" to a reader that's a red flag that the reader has poo poo taste or doesn't understand some pretty basic architectural or interior design concepts.
