ChickenOfTomorrow posted:https://www.propublica.org/article/these-native-hawaiians-waited-years-for-homes-on-their-ancestral-land-then-the-problems-began Having seen the quality of sub-million-dollar housing in Hawaii, I am not surprised that the city inspections don’t mean poo poo. Or perhaps do mean poo poo (all over the floor once you use the plumbing).

 Not mine, but the longer you look the worse it gets. I'm hoping it's fake.

I'm guessing the steel pipe on the left with the go-gently caress-yourself spacer sitting on top of the other pipe in the ground is doing the lion's share of the lifting here. I'm not convinced it isn't fake, though.

Chances are (assuming it's not fake) that none of that poo poo is doing more than a token job of supporting anything, and that it's all essentially anchored by the deck itself. Wouldn't want to jump on that deck.

3D Megadoodoo posted:What does this mean Phrased that awkwardly. Only held up by whatever attachment the deck has to the house. Mostly looking at that picture is making me think of a deck I tore down in high school that stayed up after the one support pillar on the corner was knocked out. It was wobbly as gently caress and I woudln't want to walk on it, but it stayed on the house and didn't obviously sag or anything. edit: basically point being that just because you wedge something under an object and make it put pressure on it doesn't mean it's supporting it. It'll just get crushed when whatever's actually holding it up finally gives up the ghost.

Well sure, cantilevers are a thing that exist, but the deck seems to be just bolted to the wall and I'm guessing the wall is made out of popsicle sticks, gum arabic, and plaster. e: gently caress it, I don't even see any bolts, it's probably Elmered to the plaster.

Many years ago, when I was a young lad, I worked at a petrol station. When you changed the fuel price, you had to change the price boards by walking out there with numbers printed on thin plastic sheets and change them with a long pole with suction cups on it. One time I'd put an 8 on upside down and this old guy came in and lost his poo poo at me about it. Just exploded into this huge rant about how terrible it was and how he wanted me to change it immediately. It was busy so I politely told him to gently caress off and he complained to the owner who thankfully gave no shits. So, for the next year or so that I worked there, every time there was a price change you better drat believe I put the 8s upside down. And the 3s. Even the 1s if I was feeling spicy. And every time when that horrible old man would come in and lose his poo poo all over again, I pretended to not understand what the problem was and say that the numbers were the right way up. Nothing to do with crappy construction, that image just jogged an old memory. Megillah Gorilla fucked around with this message at 12:20 on May 25, 2022 |

I think it does match the hill, look at the houses on either side.
