Darchangel posted:Epic story, awesome schadenfreude - sad ending for the reporter, though (unrelated to the story.) Which would be scarier, the current install, or an install that had the fan blades at waist level? We all know that if the installer did the drop fan, it wouldn’t be low enough to spin freely. But the fan being low enough that it completely takes up a large chunk of walkable space in that “room” is also kinda funny.

It is obviously the right idea, except for the whole frame out. Are you sure it isn’t just “tastefully cut out some drywall”?

Maybe a dormer would be a useful option. A wall mounted fan would be easier. I guess that's what they have now.

I'm filled with the overwhelming urge to go knuckle knock that to find out whether its foam, plaster, or formed concrete.

It looks like it used to be under that window. Did they move it? Why? comedy option, that window is their daughter's room, and someone was climbing in or out of the window

I'm the arched top of that one window, the curve defying every other line of the house being straight. That window says it all, really: whoever designed that looked at the giant stilts, the faux riverstone facing, the steep angled roof, the square windows, and they said "you know what? This window, the one in permanent shade, it needs a bit more. Just something to zshuzsh it up a bit." And the contractor sighed a heavy sigh, clicked on a different window design and dragged it onto the house, and said "that'll be an extra $850" and the buyer said perfect.

Hello everyone I am coming from you live from my horrible back room that is falling off the rest of the house. I came home early with a migraine so I've been in here all day listening to the house settling noises. It rained last night so things have been moving a lot, and a little chunk of drywall just fell out of this crack! Like maybe half the size of my little finger nail? Still not good. I wanted to install a hook into that stud where the TV mount used to be so I can hang up that giant 12 foot long philodendron but maybe that's not a good idea. Also need my migraines to go away so I can go to work and earn money to fix this room. edit: here's the same crack from Aug 28th.

moist turtleneck posted:is this bad it feels bad that's a good way to make sure the steps line up flush with the porch in the right place. the square frame as is has no capacity to survive shear -- watch that fucker wobble as they're gluing parts together I'm hoping they'll hammer proper support in place once footing is cast

I feel like i need to be spoonfed why construction sucks most of the time. maybe its bad because the weight is on the much smaller jutted piece of wood? which is more likely to fail because its not supported by anything below?
