1 week old wall totally falling over. Builder doesn't want to replace. Not my house but i was hired to spray damp proofing. This foundation was poured a week ago and they built the footings and wall on frozen ground. Now it's thawing and this massive split appeared. The back half of the house literally split off and is sinking. About a 30' section. I told the builder to replace it and he doesn't think it's necessary. You can stick your whole hand through.

To me that's absolutely insane. He wants to "patch it with fiber and epoxy" it's well beyond that. And the ground is going to continue to thaw and I'd say for sure more of this will happen. It's not my issue and I damp proofed the foundation and was paid for it. But I think it's absolutely ridiculous to not replace this. There is also zero steel in the wall or stone under the footing. He hired a company to come fix it and they came and looked at it and told him they wouldn't touch it and also to replace it. People this cheap and hacky shouldn't be allowed to build. He said the form company said "it's no big deal"

Let my friend borrow my earbuds for 1 week. Got the case back like this...

First post in the group. Figured id bring yall along for some bristle replacement shenanigans

my heart 🥹 I go hope my string of pearls is comfy enough

Look at these welds on a half million dollar Ferrari 812 Superfast.

My handyman just finished our new shower valve. Does everything look ok?

I have been a journeyman machinist about 40 years. I am working at this place and sometimes used fl**ges come in. Sometimes there is steel pipes welded to stainless fl**ges. They want me to remove the steel pipe and then machine the stainless fl**ge and they sell it as new. I know this is wrong and anyway you look at it. What do I say to the owner this is against the law even though he's telling me to do it?
