Imagine if all reno projects started this easy.


It actually looks like that whole wall of tile was held up only by the grout between the tiles. I can't believe it just hung there. (For those who have never done tile, there's supposed to be mortar behind that wall of tile. You smear on some mortar, run a trowel over it that makes even-depth grooves, THEN stick on the tile and tap it with a rubber hammer to seat it properly in the mortar. After that's dry, you put the grout between the tiles.)

I knew a home inspector once who would grouse about "Harry the Happy Homeowner" who did all sorts of horrible things to houses. Looks like Harry took a break from creating fire hazards with his wiring and did some tile work.

lol, that's my father pretty much. He prided himself on being able to do "anything" to the house himself, but when I grew up I learned that a lot of what he didn't wasn't...recommendable.

Like, in a HS freshman shop class I learned what an underwriter's knot is, and when I told him about it he thought it was silly.

I'm tired of reading about assholes, why would I want to learn how to read them.

Some people just need to keep their hands busy.
