One of my favorite parts of being on the safety committee when I worked in grocery was being able to light said managers up for this. That, and it also gave me the excuse to wander around inspecting fasteners and pallet stacks instead of doing my actual job.

Bypassing safety rules in the workplace is dumb, because every safety rule that exists does so because someone was heinously injured, or killed, because of the issue previously.

My current job, until like 2019, was notoriously awful about keeping the first-aid kit stocked. If I had a buck for every time my shop tech had to jerry-rig a bandaid out of masking tape and paper towels, I'd be rich. kid sinister posted:I didn't even know you could get particle board treads.

When I did my stairs (42" wide) a few months ago the risers (supporting) were 3/4" ply and the treads were two layers of 3/4" ply (1.5"). Everything was PL'ed together (recessed into the stringers, laminated treads, and between treads and risers. With 2" screws closing any gaps and 4" screws holding it all together. I figure the treads are going to be covered with 5/8" ash and the risers painted 1/2 G1S ply). No sags, no squeaks. Your average online stair calculator + Sketchup + angle finder should ensure everything works out to the mm and correct angle.

The real world isn't AutoCAD, you can't snap to parallel lines and exact coordinates so don't even think you're close enough to try. On a monthly basis, I'll field problem calls from customers installing our track crossing panels because "They won't fit!!! I spaced the ties the same spacing as the holes, 16 1/2" apart!!" instead of reading the instructions that specify 18" on-center. In the perfect world of CAD, it's supposed to look like this:  Our instructions also specify to mark along the rail the spacing for ties at 18" increments using a long tape measure, not a 18" long ruler, because every time you pick up the ruler and set it down, you'll be 1/4" to 3/8" off from perfect... and when you're laying 80 ties in a row, that poo poo adds up quick. "HOW IN THE HELL ARE THE LAG HOLES MISSING TIES? You sent us bad panels! The spacing is at 18" on center!! Well, more like 18.25" average... but that should be close enough, right?"

Nobody could be that stupid to do those things or to knowingly hire someone like that. I'm not funny enough to make that poo poo up. It was a real show. Sometimes they did some good decorating cheap. Most of the time it was meh. But sometimes Hilde would have an idea. And those ideas would make the nation go WTF. Like part of me wants to think she was just a spiteful human being but no editor could hide that. She is just maybe the worst decorator in the world.

Cat Hatter posted:drat, I was going to post that video. Biggest offender of home shows ruining people's houses with tacky crap was Monster House, the spinoff of Monster Garage where you had to live in whatever that week's team hacked together. Their version of every white person wanting a tiki bar in their house was to put the giant Olmec head Mr. Burns gave Homer Simpson into someone's living room and make it shoot a fireball into the middle of the room. The Glumslinger posted:Atleast Monster House made it pretty clear that you're house was gonna get turned into a weird fever dream I'll bet some of you thought I was exaggerating about the giant head that breathes fire...
