there's always worse....this place....
the plywood for the kitchen floor? 1/2 ply over the old hardwood (that's a crime right off there) guess what length nails they used?
SIX INCH. you can see them in the laundry room when you look between the floors.
and we go downhill from there rapidly....
the side deck? the boards they nailed down, you can see they put them down to long...and used a CHAINSAW to cut them down in place! (you can see the actual chainsaw blade shape in the side of the deck)
the plumbing? ye gods. downstairs I have a shower, that's plumbed into a sink, that's then plumbed into toilet, that's THEN plumbed into the city outline. Distance to the Stack? 2ft. just 2FT to the right is the stack where they could have plumbed in properly. not as if they could'nt since they were building the damn bathroom from scratch in the first place.
upstairs, they did'nt have room for the baths Ubend. so they cut a hole in the floor and it's hanging in the ceiling of the laundry room.....
I have 1940's Knob and Tube wiring (inspected and safe in place at this time, (as per building code). any alterations tho and the lot has to come out...) , 1970's Aluminum wiring and proper copper.
.........luckily I do like fixing things.....
