WTF Picture of the Day

Neither. Was gas leak repair and 40 gallon gas tank water heater replacement with heat pump.
The larger pipe will reduce friction, but be limited by the 3/4" meter and shake valve.

New-construction home in Gatlinburg TN today
I’m glad I’m not shopping for a new home right now. Builders around here are going as fast as they can to keep up with demand. They are taking too many short-cuts.

That’s not a shortcut, that’s a crime!

I’m offended looking at that.

I can only think they got either the cabinets and/or the countertop for free and mated them both.

Holy cow does that set off my OCD.

Yeah, mine too. But, don’t take it personally, eh? :face_with_spiral_eyes:

I’ve installed a lot of Kitchen cabinets and I worked in a Cabinet shop in the early 90s. We did all aspects of cabinetry from logging hardwood trees all the way to installing. I was mostly just a fetch it monkey but learned enough from those guys to do my own kitchens and help other do theirs. At no point during a test fit would anyone have let that go. How does it get to that point?

Sheesh. Maybe it’s just a work for a funny picture. I’ll go with that, it helps me sleep at night :slight_smile:

It’s the countertop guy’s fault.
Cabinets are installed first, then the countertop template is done.
They had the wrong angle, which threw off the sink cutout, and installed it anyways…

That’s funny. They just can’t seem to sort this room out. Oh, and the pesky dryer vent :smile:

Floating foundation

This was my 1949 built house in Northern NJ. Block on rubble foundation. We added an addition that included a basement. Turns out, while we were on a side of a mountain, our house was mostly on Sand. Apparently several million years ago, we’d have been in the middle of a river bed. Who knew. Everywhere else you stick anything in the ground, you find ledge.

The engineer said "Don’t worry about it, it takes more than that to collapse a house. ". We lived there 10 years after that without issue, so I guess he was right. The contractor pumped cement and stone into the void, so was better that original afterward anyway.
