VIRGINIA, THE FUTURE
An aged Grover is seated, alone. He eats a meal. In the course of cutting his meat, he knocks a glass off the table. It shatters. Grover stares down at it for a moment, contemplative.

As he raises his eyes he sees a bed in the corner of the room; he is startled to see an elderly, infirm version of himself lying there.

Drawing on the last strength left in his elderly, ruined body this version of Grover slowly begins to rise in the bed. He only manages a few inches, his breath rasping desperately out. A withered arm rises from the bed and, with its' owner's last rattling breath, points toward the foot of the bed where a monolith lies waiting:

Floating tranquilly amongst the cosmos, ensconced in a protective bubble, a baby Grover begins to wire a garbage disposal. Roll credits.

Holy moly

Grady: I'm sorry to differ with you, sir... but you are the contractor. You've always been the contractor. I should know, sir. I've always been here.
[Grover chuckles]
Grady: Did you know, Mr. Grover, that your son is attempting to bring an outside party into this situation? Did you know that?
Grover: No.
Grady: He is, Mr. Grover.
Grover: Who?
Grady: A building inspector.
Grover: A building inspector?
Grady: The Norfolk County building inspector.
Grover: He is a very willful boy.
Grady: Perhaps he needs a good talking to, if you don't mind my saying so. Perhaps... a bit more. My girls, sir, they didn't care for the house at first. One of them even pulled the insulation out of the stairs. But I... corrected them, sir. And when my wife tried to prevent me from adding more outlets, I... corrected her.

This is probably a mistake but whatever. It seems we have all calmed down a bit, myself included.

I want to apologize directly to you. I shouldn't have posted your pictures in this thread. It was a lovely thing for me to do, and though I played it off like it wasn't a big deal and joked about it, I felt pretty drat guilty afterwards because it didn't pertain to the issue at hand. For that, I'm really sorry.

That said, the issue (of many) at hand is that you acted like a smug prick to the people genuinely trying to help you salvage some really bad decisions you made. Oh, and also you sound pretty sexist.

Shadowgate posted:

Maybe everyone can stop being such a loving baby and let OP document his project in the DIY forum.

But no, let's turn this into a D&D circlejerk about how much of a filthy misogynist OP because he said female. This is way more interesting and definitely not a ridiculous brigage of idiots.

Crotch Fruit posted:

I guess it's time to go start a petition to Tampax so they can rename their products as "womenen hygiene". Better go tell feminism activist to let them know how mysoginistic their term is.

Hey you guys, get this: the word "female" is an adjective, whereas "woman" and "women" are nouns. For example, "she is a woman contractor" isn't grammatically correct, as well as "all the females in this thread think you're both loving idiots."

I have no idea what to do with all these Albee awards and gone with the wind figurines, goddamnit.

Freakbox posted:

ACTUAL QUESTION, THOUGH: my bathroom has a crack in it! I noticed it when I moved and it hasn't grown yet, but the tile has a hairline in it. Did the house sink? It's been very rainy the last decade in tulsa. I'm just learning home diy and have no idea what to do.

-

While I can't say for sure, my guess is that its just something got banged in to those tiles. If it was settling, you would likely see the cracks in the grout between tiles, looking something like a staircase. The crack would go down, then turn 90* then down then 90* and so on.

I've seen a ton of houses that were settling at a corner or two, and you see that sort of thing in the mortar in between bricks. Never remember seeing a brick that was cracked from that.
