I'm OK, arthritis is acting up. Watching the moronic SOU speech.

Watching the moronic SOU speech.

Because the dentist's office is closed this late, and you can't get a root canal?

Because the dentist's office is closed this late, and you can't get a root canal?

I got called to to look at my buddy's duplex project last weekend. I would've rather had root canals done. Here's what 10 hours Saturday and 6 hours Sunday found:

Locksets in entry doors that looked like they were installed with an axe. (I thought he suffered a break-in at first)
Leaking PVC sewer pipes in the basement of the front unit.
Missing and improperly installed PEX supply pipes.
Kinked HVAC refrigerant lines.
Damaged and improperly installed cabinets.
HVAC guys drilled through several electrical circuits with a holesaw.
Wrong type door and a door missing in the firewall.
Missing firestops in the firewall.
Furnaces that were improperly placed blocking crawlspace access.
PVC furnace venting leaking. (Looked like a 4 y/o did the work.)
Condensate pumps that just drain into the crawlspaces.
Missing electrical circuits.
(Edit) A sewer cleanout sticking up a foot right in the middle of a sidewalk. (My favorite)

That's just off the top of my head. Monday the owner called me and screamed for a half an hour. (I'm not the contractor.)

I told him, "You don't need an engineer, you need a fucking lawyer."

I have no idea how some of that can be repaired. The project is already a couple hundred thousand over budget. He better pray for blind inspectors from the building department.

I've never seen such a fucked up program.

"You don't need an engineer, you need a fucking lawyer."

Sounds more like a job for a D-9.

Does motrin & canadian give you any relief?

Having spent most of my life in the South, I have long wondered whether this slipshod workmanship was just a Southern thing. But lately I've come to believe that worthless contractors obtain widely both North and South -- as your report corroborates. My mother called such people "slovenly slobs"; I call them worse things.

People don't do what they say they're going to do, what you pay them to do, or what they ought to do.

Last year I walked through a house being built nearby. Slab foundation, and surprisingly, the concrete looked good -- level enough, and finished well (but I don't know how well the soil was compacted, or whether the reinforcement was done right). The framing was another story. I don't think I ever heard a hammer being used -- just air powered nail guns. Bang-bang-bang, bang-bang-bang-bang-bang, ... The lazy slobs even framed the windows with a nail gun, and it looked like Obama.

Nice looking metal roof and metal siding. But the gutter contractors didn't know how to secure a downspout. Straps wrong, holes drilled in the wrong place. Siding permanently marred.
