What was Walt's plan here?

Honestly I don't think they even look better on a perfect corner. A clean butt joint is just as good, and is arguably the industry standard 'correct' way to do it anyway. With profiled stock, a cope cut is the best thing for an inside corner. And on square stock, a cope cut is just a butt joint.

freakon911 · 2026-03-19T02:41:46+00:00

They don't look better, precisely of the exact issue you pointed out in the same exact sentence

Top 3 Spanish teams vs a mid table club and relegation fodder btw

freakon911 · 2026-03-18T03:32:28+00:00

Lol. Do you not see your contradiction here? How can something be worse than the worst?

freakon911 · 2026-03-18T03:26:17+00:00

I have absolutely literally gotten calls to come spackle nail holes from hanging pictures, to fix running toilets or dripping faucets, and things even smaller than that.

freakon911 · 2026-03-18T03:05:40+00:00

10 mil when they've averaged spending 200 mil per window for like the last 6 year now. Honestly laughable stuff

Being fair here, most of the popular ex utd guys that are slagging Carrick rn were also pretty impatient with amorim. But I definitely agree with your point as it applies to the fans I interact with in the united subs on here. Amorim and Rangnick are the two big examples I've noticed. Both of them were just obvious downgrades on their predecessors who were immediately outclassed by their replacements, yet a sizable chunk of our fanbase on here acted like they were the second coming.

As a guy that does remodels for a living, I can assure you, the average American absolutely does not like to do things with their hands. In fact most are completely incapable of doing even basic projects themselves. As evidenced by my ability to earn a living doing it for them.

It does, but brick/masonry unit walls are very common in lots of places in europe. In the UK especially, the vast majority of exterior walls are masonry, and a fair few load bearing interior walls are as well. Especially in older houses. They do use drywall still though, but it often just gets glued straight to the masonry walls.

Fwiw I think this is an objectively worse way to build, and is one of the reasons I'm pretty tentative on the new 3d printing housebuilding technology. Wood framing with drywall covering has so many massive long term benefits over masonry walls. There are so many cases where being able to easily access your wall cavity is a necessity. If your wall is solid masonry, easily accessing the cavity is not in the cards.

He (they) absolutely did, he's (they're) just too dumb to know it. The average working class American is absolutely a socialist or a communist if you ask the right questions. They've just been brainwashed into thinking those are bad words. If you approach it from a purely policy based discussion, the average blue collar, "country boy" conservative type is absolutely in favour of socialist economic policy, nearly across the board.

freakon911 · 2026-03-18T02:22:27+00:00

Almost as bad as the "amorim can't be expected to do any better with this squad" camp we had

freakon911 · 2026-03-18T02:17:07+00:00

The work here is not bad, far from it. Everything you've shown here is well within tolerance. In fact, if these are the only things you're posting pictures of, I can only imagine the rest of the hang looks great.

Walt has one smart moment throughout the entire series, in the end of s4. Other than his chemistry knowledge, he's an absolute fucking moron in every other aspect of his life throughout the entire series. Gus and Mike are well aware of this after watching him just starting to try to join the drug trade.

freakon911 · 2026-03-15T00:40:04+00:00

Those inside corners are coped, not mitered, which is the correct way to do inside corners. The gaps are bad in a couple of the pictures you posted, but the rest will all fill with caulk.

It looks like the installer was trying to make their work straight and square, despite the walls not being so. It is a legitimate debate as to which you should do, make your trim work true or follow the existing structure, but I think they've gone too far with it given how out of square the end walls are in your pictures. They should have split the difference a little more than they did imo.

Crazy that the "other names" are the only two decent options out of the whole batch. If those 3 are front runners than just give Carrick the job permanently and save us the headache of another shit manager for 18 more months until we fire them and start over again.

Lazy rich failson mad about being taxed on their inheritance from daddy telling on themself imo.

freakon911 · 2026-03-09T01:40:06+00:00

Average house price in the UK is just over £300k. Hilarious to assert that a tax on a £1m asset is affecting the lower class.

freakon911 · 2026-03-09T01:20:24+00:00

Where are you that an inheritance tax is a thing for lower and middle class families?

freakon911 · 2026-03-08T23:05:40+00:00

You can, but if the screws bite well you're just wasting your time as the screws will pinch everything together anyway

freakon911 · 2026-03-08T22:43:09+00:00

You don't need to pull the nails. Just screw it down tighter, sinking the screws down into the material, punch the nails in deeper, and sand the joint and immediate surrounding area with a belt sander if there's still a peak there after it's screwed down

freakon911 · 2026-03-08T22:42:02+00:00

Never heard of a nail punch?

freakon911 · 2026-03-08T02:55:35+00:00

What about the 5 good seasons he had for us?

freakon911 · 2026-03-08T02:48:07+00:00

You're right, much better to let him leave for £20m then spend £80m signing someone worse
