That sheet of glass is loving diabolical. That's not a bathroom, it's an attempted murder.

So, accordingly, which two confusingly incongruent odors are in those adjacent scent-stick containers?

Looking at this gives me that weird not-quite-balanced feeling I get when I’m on shore after spending a day on a boat

For a second I thought this was the YOSPOS pictures thread and someone had a monitor in their shower. No, it's just the peepin' window.

I also love the electrical cord just draped on the floor. Go through the work of getting a fireplace insert, but they also couldn't even be bothered to put an outlet inside of it, or at the very least get an outlet closer to it?

On the Crappy Construction front, the previous owner of my house built the back fence out of Super Six Roofing. (see image for an example).  and its in deplorable condition, the fence posts are all on my neighbours side and are rotten and have had building stuff leaning on it for years. I'm trying to workout if i can be stuffed coughing up half the replacement cost vs encasing it somehow on my side and mabye replacing some of the supports? This stuff is so dangerous i really don't really wanna gently caress with it.

unless you plan to grind it into dust and then inhale it, it's not going to hurt you in the state it's in right now. Undo the bolts, stack it together and call one of those trash pickup services

Every fence in my city prior to 1990 is made from this stuff. It sounds bad but it's not really as bad as all that. It's definitely not "so dangerous".

Spray it with water to keep the dust down, wear gloves and a mask. If you want to get really fancy buy a tyvek suit from home Depot.

And while I'm not an asbestologist, it may be best to get one of the specialists to haul it away - I assume normal dumps are none too amused by undeclared asbestos.

The "specialists" are going to be immigrant day laborers, who have no idea what asbestos is and how to handle it. But they sure will break it with mallets and throw it on the trailer with bare hands. Then you'll be left rummaging through the grass to pick up little pieces, that you won't realize are there until several days later.

I love how the bigger home repair/contracting companies always have clean cute white men from the 1950's in their marketing and signage, but then when the van pulls up in front of your house it's always a group of scraggly sun burned Hispanic laborers that pile out. You know they've received no training and are being paid not nearly enough for their work. I hired a big firm to replace my waste plumbing and the guy they sent to back fill the hole for the plumber brought his pregnant wife and children with him. Clearly they hire only the best! e: And for the record I was not going with the cheapest option for this work. I actually hired the company I thought had the best plan and I had prior (better) experience with. SpartanIvy fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Oct 21, 2022 |

Almost all of this labor, regardless of which mid to large company you hire, comes from your local home depo parking lot at 6 am that very morning. They're bring paid cash at the end of the day and nobody's paying taxes on poo poo. It's a super broken and exploitative system.

I'm in Norway and aliass seems to be in NZ or AU, though - so in my case it's legal Polish immigrants living 20 to a 2-man apartment owned by the company they work for, and while they do have contracts they're probably illegally underpaid and generally underprotected. On the positive side they tend to be competent and educated in the work they do. No idea what the AU or NZ equivalent is, but I'm sure they have their own takes on exploiting people for cheap labor.

On the positive side they tend to be competent and educated in the work they do. Labour laws down here are much stricter than the US and the minimum wage is over $20/h in NZ and nearly $30/h in Australia so there's nowhere near as much worker exploitation happening in general. But those few who get exploited are typically South Asian, SE Asian and pacific islanders.

They're bring paid cash at the end of the day and nobody's paying taxes on poo poo. This is absolutely my experience working construction. From multi-million-dollar single family homes all the way to the lowest bidder turbo-slumlord apartment buildings, every contractor just grabs lot labor from whatever home improvement store, if not as their entire labor pool then at least to fill in gaps. At a $44 million home site a group of 8 guys were pouring concrete footers and one of the forms let go, dumping unset concrete onto finished footer work, and rather than any sort of abatement they all just got in their trucks and left, never to be seen at that site again. This was the third footer contractor for that job (they had a separate finishing concrete contractor for the above-ground stuff) and shockingly they were invited back (with a totally different day laborer crew) but ultimately got kicked off after they spilled even more loose crete into the half-prepped gravel bed for the driveway. We later saw two of the guys digging ditches at another job we did, but they recognized us and avoided us. The entire industry is a poo poo show, at least in Central Florida. I was a specialist waterproofer and do not work in construction anymore.

If Australia is anything like NZ, then it'll be done by a specialist remediation company that'll come in, rope off the place like a bombsite, then take it apart while wearing respirators and suits.
