Clearly not, since that drain basin isn't sunk into the floor.

Nice try. There's no outlet in the picture.

I assure you, my "opinion" of you now is mostly based on you calling people idiots when you're the fuckhead who lets his wife sleep is the room next to this one, when you live in a major earthquake area. Also, I know how many bedrooms your house has. I'd be willing to bet that you have some kids too. If you were smart, you'd move them somewhere else for the time being. But no, you'd rather try to spin this into you not being a dumbass than protect your family.

What the gently caress does this have to do with laughing at this guy? What are his kids names KS? Doesn't DIY have a no stalk rule? If not, it should. Ban this chuckle gently caress.

So, the idea of the tub is that it's like back before the days of indoor plumbing, when mom would fill up the big tub with water and haul it inside and everyone would take turns using it and water would slosh everywhere, only now we're so goddamn rich that the tub fills itself all the time and sloshes water around for you?

It shows that maybe more than his and his wife's lives are in danger. I'm not sure if he even has kids. I guessed that based on how big his house is and how old he looks. I'm not going to look up his kids. That's really loving creepy and it's not like anyone else sawed through his joists.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I'm happy you enjoyed it. I see you obtained a nice avatar for your tireless efforts as an internet detective vigilante stalker building inspector. Pretty cool compared to your old one, I must say.

This doesn't quite look like a situation where the house is in imminent danger of total collapse. Also I haven't seen any kids running around like "Daddy, daddy! Look there's a big loving hole in the floor! And I'm gonna go jump on it and die horribly while you and mommy snort crushed up pills whilst complaining about strangers on the internet!" You can't say "it's for the kids!" like you've found pictures on his account of a black van full of candy and chloroform.

Somehow, this thread went from a stage-one goon well to pissing in such a short span*... That's not solely you, but it looks like your reaction had something to do with your history with the guy and his weird electrical-fire bed frame. You have some kind of complex about people not taking your advice, in addition to any legit frustrations you have with idiots harming others through negligence. You went ahead and dug your own well next to his, and started drilling holes in the wall to take pictures, piss, and make spooky ghost noises like a jackass.

Even if you're being honest about your motivations, I think you took it a bit far for your own satisfaction. If this guy manages to accomplish anything safely, it will only be in spite of your actions. Nobody has to baby the guy, and it is funny to point out how blindly he hosed up. But, you effectively building-department-swatted him because you didn't like his attitude. That's pretty hosed up.

I really don't think he did. He had hosed up bad but was bringing in actual professionals to fix things. doxxing is gross but trying to report this guy would only make sense if, after a bunch more updates, he made it clear none of these fancy engineers were talking nicely enough to him so he's just going to draw a solution in sketchup and that's that. He had stopped work and was in the process of making things right, there is no need to report him. That would have been the outcome too, he'd get a stop-work order and be told he needs to submit plans of the fix signed off by an engineer. All that's changed is now we don't get any updates.

Now all we need is for a goon to get all up in KS' poo poo and send photos of his posts as well as his last colonoscopy images to Lowtax while proudly announcing that they're doing so. Then another to do the same to that goon, and another, and another...

Add the weight of a tub. Now add the weight of 50+ gallons of water. Now add 400 pounds for your average goon. Tell me how that wasn't going to collapse eventually.

You've never dealt with DIY types like this guy before, have you? The ones that are all gung-ho about tearing open walls and floors despite not really knowing what they're doing. He's not the first DIYer I've met like this, and he won't be the last. DIYers like him take personal affront to other people disapproving of their disasters, then go at them anyway. You're assuming that the engineers and contractors he talked to actually exist. All of his shenanigans would have been nipped in the bud if he had just done a project of this scope properly and got approved plans and permits. Then he would have heard "don't cut through your load bearing floor" and not get permits for it until he comes around and actually does it right. If he has to be dragged kicking and screaming into not hurting anyone, so be it. I honestly don't think he would have done it otherwise.

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with being an amateur DIYer. If you're not sure about a project, then post for help BEFORE you do anything dangerous. If you do mess up, actually take the advice and don't insist you're still right and everyone else is wrong when god and everyone can see you messed up.
