What the hell is the purpose of this?
Obviously a greenhouse for growing weed in that trap house you dunce
It's a slide-out!
How else are you supposed to get from the house to the high voltage power lines safely??

thats a teardown for sure
how romantic
ngl clean the place up and it would be pretty comfy
sovl and comfy
Fusebox in the outhouse... Outhouse... in the attic .... ???????????
why
Damn it's the hot tub from the Sims
Replace the tile and completely wrap the stair and tub surround, turn the sink into a small vanity, maybe put carpet over that carpet pad, reglaze the tub to work with the new tile, new light fixture and maybe strings or rails coming across, new railing or just remove it. This is all workable. The space will come together once you get going.

actually I just have these two, the others are >4mb and I don't feel like fricking with it
i like how they didn’t even try to paint the bottom pipe red
It looks like it's been added post fact
Some moron did this with gas lines run across the ceiling of my basement except they didn't support the unnecessary 4' protruding elbow
this is something I want to do some day. skip the schizo doors but a former u-haul truck, entirely stock looking from the outside but inside a nice little apartment
Based. Frick electricians.
Seething drywaller
I'd unironically kill whoever did that
So the stairs are hooked only on the ends and are sitting on 1/2" of routered out 2x8?
And they mis routered the whole stretcher so the treads aren't even sitting directly on the stretcher, but on shims instead???
Who TF did this
I'm not even mad about the panel, just remove the studs, pull the panel, replace the studs turn the panel around and put it back in
But those stairs are probably as dangerous(or more) as those shelf brackets stairs that get posted here
>And they mis routered the whole stretcher so the treads aren't even sitting directly on the stretcher, but on shims instead???
Go look at the stairs in any home they all look like that it's to lock the boards in tight and level.
The stringers are done incorrectly and there isn't a center one
I've literally never seen shims used on a staircase except one or 2 where the circular saw did a jagged cut
And I've NEVER seen stringers that are just half routed out with no board below the stairs
This stair case is straight fricked
It looks like they installed into the skirt board well enough. But you're right, then need the center stringer and the 1x2s should be 3/4 ply.
I've been staring at that so long I missed that they boxed in the panel. I don't get to frame enough to really have this stuff down. At a house last year, they redid the basement stairs to expand the kitchen. They didn't actually cut new stringers. The skirt boards have 2x4 screwed under the treads.and the pitch is too steep because the walls and floor don't allow for a landing.
This is how the designers and customer draw it. I should just put them in and make them pay me to come back and fix it.
It's a prefab stair kit. Despite it looking janky from underneath, they usually hold up just fine. The routered riser/tread pockets are plenty deep enough that the treads or risers can't come out, since these are installed between walls which keep the stringers from being able to move outwards. The loose riser/stringer pockets and wedges are required so that the stairs can be installed at a range of angles depending on in-field conditions, and the wedges will never come out unless the installer forgot to glue them.
The stairs at my mom's house, which was built in 1974, are for the most part identical to these and are still solid as a rock despite levels of punishment I would say is probably considerably above average.
>house I'm currently buying is a 1970s build in near original condition. Carpeted garage bathroom is money.
>garage bathroom
You lucky frick.
>carpeted garage bathroom
Who the frick thought that was a good idea
The two of all things who shouldn’t have a carpet
I assume they're Canadian or from the Upper Midwest where people take off their shoes/boots indoors esp in the winter, and the previous owners thought it was necessary to install carpeting in the bathroom to keep their feet warm while taking a sneaky late night shit
I would LOVE a shitter right next to the garage, but obviously tile is a better choice than carpet.
That carpet has mold colonies on it that are older than most people on this website.
This place is amazing. Looks exactly like the shit I do to my trailer house. Lol
I hate it
looks like the deck is worth more than the trailerhome. And what the hell is going on with that ramp. Wtf
I'm guessing they couldn't get the proper grade from the door to the driveway so they had to make it snake like that
ah yeah, true. But still, looks wonky af
Build by a government contractor almost certainly.
This is what happens when people move into a home with zero consideration of their accessibility needs and then demand that the local government make it accessible for them for free, not knowing that there are very strict safety regulations for ramps because of shitty people like them suing.
Maximum permitted gradients, maximum permitted slope lengths, no spirals allowed, minimum spaces for turning. That isn't the worst example.
>The carpool arrives in 1 hour.
frick what did they do to beansie's house
I’ll build a ramp up to your ass. Drive a Lionel in there.
underrated
it's council housing. the government moved them in there. they spent 2 years trying to get the government to move them somewhere that wasn't on a hill and then the government decided to do that instead for some reason
thats insane
It's compliance to laws. The same thing that fricks everything up. Probably a sales office for decks tbh
>And what the hell is going on with that ramp
Maximum allowed ramp slope and being constrained by fixed start and end locations. Basically "the ramp has to be 30' long but it needs to go between two points that are only 15' apart".
Handycap ramp. My aunt rus adult care homes. Every house she's had has some dumb ass shit like this. One had a short ramp and hand rails for the sunken living room.
That deck has like 100 square feet of usable space but has a 500 square foot footprint. It's all stairs.
I hate octagonal full perimeter step decks. If they don't grade their yard, it's going to work out goofy at the lowest step.
The new Buick Regatta
Just why?
I hate how much I love it
As long as the rest of the sink is tapered to drain towards it, I kind of love it.
We need more stone countertops with this type of thing
I could fill that in one turd. Then perflectly level it with the rest of the metal plate by removing excess shit. THhen I'd leave the house discretely.
> "Well it's not unheard of that burglars leave you a little surprise when they invade your home, but it's first time i see this ma'am."
>we have really hard water
They should do this but with the inverted face illusion
water-saver sink
Looks comfy
fill out the appliances woth stainless steel and hang some copper pots and pans from the walls and that's a very comfy space. It just looks weird because it's empty and the wood overpowers.
Looks like wall was added later - base looks different. But that's not as bad as something I saw, but don't have pics of. They ran a new heating duct through an upstairs bedroom in an old house. Part of the way it ran along the floor, so they framed a box around it, sheetrock, baseboard, shoe molding, the whole works. It looked great. Nobody seemed to notice or care that it hid the access door to the bathtub fixture on the other side of the wall. When that fixture needs to be replaced, instead of $300 bucks rape fee, it will be more like $3000 rape fee.
don't care stfu
I hope there is a return on both sides
I can almost guarantee you the right hand wall was built on top of the carpet.
I know a guy who did that sort of thing when installing another cabinet in the kitchen. Just cut a hole in the cabinet and rigged up a combo of one of those plastic heater vent redirectors and some old, unused baking trays to encourage the heat to exit into the room.
That's just a baseboard heater, you dong.
plastering over half of a blank instead of just removing the blank and plastering the hole is truly inspired.
Looks like a fairground or some shit. What’s the problem?
So we’re posting things that are based but calling them abominations now?
I'd recognize that Agat location anywhere, still not as good as the BK bus in Mangilao back in the day tho
what are the ramps for? I don't understand this vehicle
the ramps were already on the trailer before he built all that shit
Talk all the shit you want but I bet there's no fricking mice in there...
Dear god 134k for that?!
Real estate agents are so moronic.

Come on, that's not that bad. Worth maybe 40% of the asking price, but not terrible. There's a place in town here that's by far worse and still selling for $88k, on foreclosure.
I don't understand how those drawers have things in them. How did they get in there? What are they? Why?
First one clearly opens up enough to put some small stuff in. Nothing you can see in the photo wouldn't fit through the opening. Main issue would be if something ends up at the back of the drawer and you gotta go fishing for it somehow.
Second one almost certainly opens properly if you open the oven door first.
the second pic they probably got a new oven and then realized after fitting it

kek this is totally someone's response to their city's code enforcement department rolling up after a new wall is built and demanding they must still maintain an access route along a specific street frontage despite having a perfectly serviceable one elsewhere
"ok losers here ya go"
That stile cost more expensive then putting a gate in the wall.
yes, which means it was motivated by something other than money. what motivates a homeowner to install something garish, expensive, and impractical like this? only one thing: spite. hatred for bureaucracy meddling in their life, which drives someone towards malicious compliance. only someone thinking "YOU want to tell me what i need to do to my property? YOU'RE worried about property values? YOU'RE using the letter of the law against me?" would do something like this as retaliation against the fat middle-aged HOA prostitute who pounded on his door trying to "Um Akchually" them
>cost more expensive
wew
>Watch me cut off my nose to spite the bureaucrats
>That'll show them !
absolutely. giving in to this bureaucratic needling just invites them to walk all over you. you have to push back.
if the fat moron HOA kingpin karen stomps over from her house across the road after i finish my tasteful perimeter wall around my yard and says she doesn't like it and she's going to use the letter of the law to force me to tear it down because she found a regulation stating all houses must have a dedicated pedestrian entrance along the primary street-side and my driveway doesn't count, then i'm going to use the letter of the law against her, too, and make it even more of an eyesore to offend her and remind her that she's not the only c**t who can abuse the regs as a social weapon, so she needs to fricking step off
next offense gets a 40ft high-voltage ham radio transmission tower installed in the front yard, legally impervious to HOA regulations thanks to the FCC
>you have to push back
This is childish sentiment.
>HOA kingpin karen
This is easily avoided.
anon, we couldn't help but notice you were having a barbecue in your backyard last saturday. i wanted to make sure you're aware that unscheduled gatherings of more than 5 guests on your property require a party permit to be issued by the board, and for you to pay for parking passes for the street. unfortunately, this does mean we'll have to assess you a fee.. but you've been such a good homeowner, i assume you're more than happy to pay.
also, please don't forget to repaint your awnings to one of the approved colors before the month's end or we WILL be discussing foreclosure. thanks!
We can see the HOA karen lives rent free in your head. And again, all of that is easily avoided.
Doormat.

Tumbled stones inside a toilet bowl?
What were they stinking
Quickdraw wipe
you run the paper through the back seat and back around so you can wipe with conveyor belt action
this but needs a motorized roller in the back with a led/photodiode combo to see when its done
pat. pend. flush2wipe action
after a bit of cleaning up looks extremely comfy ngl
thats kind of clever, though
if it was hardwood instead of carpet it'd look halfway decent
Reminds me of the neck guillotine trap from Saw 5
I hate drop ceilings too.
Their only mistake was using a recessed panel door. If they had used a flush slab door it would have been fine.
Time to put on the trim kit.
If both handles turn then functionally this should be no problem.
Sure. I mean why would you want to close the door by simply pushing it closed instead of having to turn the handle every time right?
Spectacular.
It took me a while to understand. Shit brix.

Okay that's kinda funny
if they managed to make it flush i'd have been honestly impressed
but why the carpet? just use a rug so you can wash the piss out
My downstairs toilet is in a place that used to be stairs to be basement. Stairs to the basement are currently elsewhere. I guess this guy just skipped a step.
>My downstairs toilet is in a place that used to be stairs to be basement.
What.
What wonders were to be beheld if someone were to roll back the curtain behind the toilet?
Looks like a window at ground level, based on the back basement wall
I don't see whats so bad about this. Aesthetically it might not be what people consider nice, but if it gets you easy access to that space it looks functional and useful
Well it’s a carpeted toilet area for one. Which means for two, the carpet is either missing a big ass rectangle or still has the big ass rectangle, but cut out of the rest of the carpet.
could not figure out what the inset photo was trying to show
its a fricking mirror

Did yall just butt 2 trailers together end to end and connect them?
I've been feeling bad about how I decorated my bed room all week and this makes me feel a lot better about my poor decisions. I'm blown away someone who clearly has money thought this would look nice.
the worst part is having to dodge around a huge frickoff stone pillar every time you move stuff between stove and the sink
The more I look the less convinced I am this is a rich person's poor taste. I think someone either had this stone (they all look like damaged seconds pieces) and made poor use of it, or the stone was already part of the building and the kitchen was crammed in around it
>, or the stone was already part of the building
No way. Clearly the designer was an idiot. Look at the comical baseboards. Look at the horrible design of the island. Everything in that pic screams "I'm so creative I can break all the rules".

Kinda based, takes up a lot of valuable kitchen space though.

Floating floor built on top of existing carpet floor?
Instead of tearing up the carpet they just raised the floor?
>rip up hardwood floors
>find carpet floors underneath
Hate when this happens.
It dampened the 'hardwood' sound.
Why? did they go 4' on their rafters?
Yep, and the OSB grows mold and sags after a few years
4' rafter spacing and this roof is not properly ventilated. Those two little vent boxes they put in right next to each other are completely inadequate. Look at the way the corners of the ridgecap are curling up. That attic has got to be a god damned furnace. OSB roof sheathing don't 'get moldy' or break down unless you frick up badly, which these folks clearly have.
They need to change their infill settings.
ahh, the classic sideways toilet and fricked up house layout of a house from the early 1800s

That's not bad actually. A little extra space to set something, or put a chair to sit and read in.

It's for pouring hot oil on ascending home intruders
I like this one. Those frowny faces are there to encourage you to lower the seat.
That's a fake image. If the plate was flush with the toilet lid, then the shadow on the lid would cover the top left corner of the plate. And if the plate wasn't flush and protruded out enough from the lid to not have the shadow cast on the top left corner, then the angle of the light (based on the shadow that the seat creates on the lid) would mean the shadow the plate creates on the bottom and right sides would be a lot longer than they are in the picture.
Concave lid anon
if an arrangement like this were real, it would just be a little TOO tempting to chance peeing on the socket with a quick splash
there could be steaming corpses around the pissoir and it would still be tempting

useful to goobers who change their oil every 5k. oil is rated literally for 10k+ miles so changing it too often is just a waste of money
your oil might be rated for 10k+ but your filter isnt
it is. I've changed my oil every 10k+ for over 10 years so and nothing has happeend
it's the principle. taking off that oil plug takes me so little time it makes no difference. why spend money on something that's essentially just useless
i think i will trust car manufacturer engineers who do not have a financial stake in my oil change intervals over the advice of PrepHole yahoos. 7k has been a solid interval for me as 10k is just too much - my oil looks terrible and is always low.
Let me guess, your oil is black? If it's low just add more oil don't change the entire engine oil. My old volvo will chug a quart every now and then and I just put some more. I don't even put in anything good necessarily, last bottle was something made by total that was fully synthetic and not a Black person private label oil
>not a Black person private label oil
Uh what exactly is a Black person private label oil?
it's rotella or other gas station oil. think of oil you can only buy at oreillys or vatozone you can't buy elsewhere. chepest shit produced at the bare minimum requirements so it still passes as motor oil. like if you buy mobil1 or castrol they are real oil manufacturers but any house brand oil is the same as using cooking oil as your motor oil
well at 220 miles it's still going on strong so I that's all the evidence I need. I don't have some prissy b***h mobile that requires some specific oil every 2000 miles or it breaks, I don't drive american
>220 miles
oh wow much miles such impressive
yeah I forgot to add k there but I hope this post opens up to you now
I dunno, would those autozpne oils be that bad?
I get what you're saying. There was that Walmart oil a couple years ago that wouldn't work in a tractor from the 1960s but they were selling it to modern brain dead consumers at Walmart and all they cared about was the weight on the bottle
Since you're new here from reddit: PrepHole is fully aware that if the engine is in shit shape, the same oil change intervals as a correctly designed, maintained and running engine, do not apply.
"i will trust car manufacturers" bla bla bla
reddit is missing a contributor. You're also due for your eighth booster.
You need to go back.

X-filters from FRAM. Regular fram is garbage, but their 'Ultra sync' are completely different filter media and steel support on the inside.
Also, you look up the thread and find a compatible filter that's 3-4x the capacity, then prefill if necessary. It usually costs the same as the tiny filter spec'd for that 4- or 6-cylinder rice burner.
Then you can change the filter less often.
>Then you can change the filter less often.
You do know that almost all oil filters route the bypassed oil over the dirty filter media right?
Yeah its rated for 15k grampa
>the people who make the car recommend changing oil every 10k
>but according to you the filter won't last that long
I should call up Volvo and tell them the guy on PrepHole figured out their ploy.
>a waste of money

Only thing I can think of is that it was an utter moron of a contractor who realised he needed to cut a small section out of those beams to put in that red beam. Didn't have the tools or skill to cut it from the bottom and didn't want to spend the time removing those beams so cut in from the top under the assumption he could just screw in some metal fixings afterwards.
Hoping that it's idiocy and not some piece of shit who knows that the roof is a death trap that would get condemned on inspection but doesn't care, so long as it's spotted after he's been paid.
Hopefully the engineer is just calling for a bigger ridge.

Garbage collection day is the best part. Winded delivery drivers on the doorbell camera are also fun.
there's more than a few driveways near where I live similar to this, not on as nearly bad a slope though. my question is why is it so outlandish of an idea to have it be a little shallower and have four or five steps from the garage into the house? as in put the floor of the garage slightly lower so you have a shallower driveway angle, but a handful of stairs to get into the main building. I would vastly prefer walking up four or five stairs versus making it significantly more difficult to park my car/walk out to take the bins out or pick up the mail.
or even could they not simply take a foot or so off the top of the land, assuming it's a new build?
I would just have a 2 story garage hat they did there is ducking retorted

bernoulli principle
I never understood the gag here.
In a western, when one of two characters says "This town ain't big enough for the two of us", it's a non-literal statement that indicates conflict between the two characters, and hints that one of them is going to kill the other.
In a comedy parody of a western, one character might say that, and then in a reversal of expectations they would begin construction work on expanding the town, an over-the-top gag that takes on a literal interpretation of the line and resolves the towns state of "not being big enough for the two of them" by making the town bigger instead of reducing the number of them in it.
In this image macro, the reader is expected to imagine the scene that preceded the expansion of the double-wide to have contained the line "this double wide ain't big enough for the two of us". The fact that the double-wide was then expanded is funny on two counts, because of the literal interpretation of the line leading to a reversal of expectations as in the parody, and because of the ridiculousness juxtaposition between two gunslingers in a cowboy western and two people living in a double wide.
So this is the only thing you do all day?
