It is the incongruity of simultaneously posting "I made it how I like it and that's all that matters" and also seeking attention and approval for what you made.

If you genuinely didn't care, you never needed to post. If you genuinely do care, you could have consulted with a well-recommended interior designer, and had something that people in general would agree is tasteful or at least not revolting.

So the actual core object of ridicule is how you cannot reconcile these two conflicting motives.



...also the blatant of your previous thread is lingering, and that's hilarious too

And until I pointed that out, no one made a single mention of it. So apparently it's not an issue.

Really, don't be too hard on the guy. If he gets chased off, we'll never get to see the inevitable female-oriented kitchen remodel, and that's gonna be where the real money's at.

Very heavy 15ft 8x10 wood beams. Probably the most interesting part was that they had to hoist them in through the 2nd floor window since they were too big to walk through the house.

Now that you've all forgotten, I guess I can post these.

Wait, 8x10 solid? That's uhh, large. Like very little space in between the sistered beams and joists large. Can you post a pic? I can see how this would fix the problem but I'm not sure how they would attach to the engineered I beams.

Also seriously just post the toilet, it can't be worse than the burning you're already getting. Here is mine.

The tub was here. Note one joist is sistered with another despite only being an 8ft span. The next does not actually reach the sill beam and was just balanced on a stack of small rocks on top of the foundation. The one after it? 3 sistered beams again for an 8 foot span. None of them actually went all the way across. Whoever ratfucked this place before me hopefully died horribly.


I threw the whole-rear end thing out and started clean.


Appalachian roofing. When I say whole rear end thing got thrown out, I mean it, you could stand in the basement and look at the sky with no ceiling joists or rafters. I should have done the walls too and poured a concrete foundation instead of keeping that but I didn't know that yet.
