Date: September 1st, 2023 3:23 PM Author: Mind-boggling Address Haunted Graveyard I'm doing a whole home renovation like a fucking idiot. These contractors are all full of shit and bleed you dry. The "good" ones charge 3X what something should cost and work slowly. Should have just bought a new house (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5398078&forum_id=2/en-en/#46744203) |
Date: September 1st, 2023 3:25 PM Author: Bull headed business firm Its true but DIY you end up spending hundreds of hours to do a shit job. It doesn't pencil out. Honestly best to just get a new house built the way you want it and don't customize anything after (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5398078&forum_id=2/en-en/#46744207) |

very odd case. really makes you think |

Date: September 1st, 2023 4:02 PM Author: cracking whorehouse immigrant I had floor replacement last year in Florida placed porcelain everywhere. They lied about small stuff. Like at first said I would have to be out of my apt for no more than 2 weeks but it end up at least 3 weeks. They also failed to pick up some of the tile at home decor and I called home decor and homedecor did an audit and found that indeed they picked up only 1/2 and gave them the rest. But in the end the job was well done. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5398078&forum_id=2/en-en/#46744326) |

The bottom of a doorframe to a never-used balcony door rotted (I had a desk in front of the door) and water got into the wall so I just moved.
