I had to break down an interior door because my friend's toddler managed to lock himself inside the room, and it was weird as hell. 8 foot tall door made of solid oak, but the bolt turned out to be in the trim, which was made out of MDF. I was fully expecting to have to throw myself into the door a bunch to get it open, because we had no idea that it was so janky. Who the hell installs a big rear end door like that, puts in a lock, and then half-asses the actual locking mechanism? Interior locks are weird in general to me, but especially one like that.

Yep, she's had the house for many years, and just left the key in the lock because she didn't want to lose it. I guess her 3 year old finally decided to play with it, or at least play with it after closing the door, and couldn't figure out how to open it again. I'm surprised he was able to even turn it in the first place, since it hasn't been oiled in who knows how long.

His very specific contact instructions are pretty awesome too. Yeah, the scrap pallet and plywood theme is at least consistent. I also enjoyed the 14/2 or whatever just slung around the house like it's an italian kitchen. I'm sure he's an interesting guy, but that house was a knockdown when it was built. I admire his persistence, but I would never set foot inside. Also that sheet metal wrapped around the tree is probably hiding a nice split.

When some shifty person comes to replace the copper pipes with plastic in order to resell the copper later they'd end up improving this mess significantly.

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:I've hired a structural engineer who is going to come take a look on Thursday. Over the phone he told me it sounded like most of the issues were due to how dry it's been and the fact that there are several extremely large oak trees in the neighbor's yard. He charges $450 but I think it will be money well spent if it helps my husband stop freaking out. So it turns out that most of my issues are due to it having been extremely dry for months and there being several extremely large oak trees in the neighbor's yard. My house is not in imminent danger of splitting in two. There's one place on the outside of the house where water might be getting in that I'll need to patch up, but overall most of the issues are cosmetic.

wesleywillis posted:You'd best get to watering the grass then. Or at least the foundation. That’s a thing here in my piece of Texas. So much clay in the soil (like, immediately below the surface. I only have about an inch or two of “dirt”, then something that is either goo or rock hard  depending on the rainfall) that everything shrinks and swells substantially. A barely-buried soaker hose on a timer attempts to keep the soil immediately under the house from moving around too much. Pretty much every house in the neighborhood over a decade old has had piers installed (and most of the houses are form the ‘60s.)

If I'm going to pay someone to dig a foundation, I might as well get this entire room demolished and rebuilt properly and get a patio poured at the same time. In the meantime I will use spray foam to keep out the cold air and snakes.

I'm reminded of an old Canadian-based reality show from... I don't know, mid to late aughts, I think, called "Canada's Worst Handyman." Boy howdy, were there a LOT of people on that show who, when given circular saws, table saws, jig saws, hand saws, etc... still were trying to reach for a reciprocating saw for precision cuts every. drat. time. Even after being told time time again they're for demo work. DrBouvenstein fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Nov 21, 2022 |
