metaquotesAs of late, synecdochic has been househunting. Mostly, she has spotted Fail and not things she'd like to live in. She, and others, offer hypotheses as to what people could possibly be thinking.
synecdochic weaves the tale of woe about the third house of the night:
"I notice the foundational end of the addition that is farthest out to the backyard, the part that's the new back wall of the house, is not concrete or cinderblock.
9:01:01 PM: rahaeli: It is TWO BY FUCKING FOURS BRACED AGAINST FUCKING DIRT.
9:01:57 PM: rahaeli: That is, in fact, only the beginning."
...
9:10:24 PM: rahaeli: I determine that the *other* reason the entire back part of the house is about to shear off, in addition to the "braced by fucking two by fours on the fucking bare ground" thing?
9:11:23 PM: rahaeli: can we say "removed the load-bearing wall without putting in pillars or an i-beam from joist to joist in the rafters", children?
dragovianknight would like to note that "Just the fact that the man cave is still standing makes the construction awesome by DEFAULT, okay? REAL MEN DON'T NEED BUILDING CODES!"...."They have Man Instincts."
xenacryst : And by impressive, I mean I'm impressed that every earthquake, hurricane, tornado, fire, and bad sex act gone wrong hasn't dropped in saying, "OHAI, CAN I LEVEL THIS HOUSE FOR YOU?"
amadi : "Sounds like Mike Holmes would walk in, take one look, walk back out and say "Even I can't fix this shit.""
There is just as much snark in that comments section as there is in the transcript. (And trust me, I would like reiterate that no one can breathe after that transcript.)
