Lol.....I waited with the phone on the ready ....with my hand on the horn like I was playing fucking jeopardy ,,waiting for the perfect moment to softly toot my horn .....for the perfect jerky box photo ......but like an overly excited contestant ,I pushed the horn button to hard and to fast ...and accidentally caught the attention of this lady ...by accident of course ......luckily I was able to save the photo before the jerky box walked away ....View attachment 3912032
Here's the original .....I think the horn made the man in blue shit himself ......my bad man in blue ....my bad .




Nice observation ,,,I over filled my 32oz sprite when I first noticed the new jerky machine and all the delicious meat just hanging out like that .....I like jerky

Ripped out downstairs bathroom/shower.
View attachment 3912090
Encountered problem removing toilet. It was cemented in instead of screwed down like normal. Chipped out cement and FUCK! No flange. Just a goddamn 1962 terra cotta pipe on a fucking angle.

Called a plumber (who isn't actually a plumber anymore but still knows his shit)
Installing a flange tomorrow morning, laughed and said he's seen the same thing before a dozen times. *relief*

Got new bathroom @ Lowe's. Just add labor and semi-skill.

3 fake brick walls (2 surrounding toilet) and white ceramic tile for shower walls, charcoal small ceramic for shower floor.

I'll be busy a few days. I fucking HATE not having my personal toilet and shower, so I'm using the basement facilities at the other house, my daughter and her bf rarely use the basement anyway. Still a pain in the rear which is why I lived with a leaky shower for 4 months.

I can't wait till this remodeling is complete. 15 fucking months now on a 1939 construction and 1962 construction. Seems like it never ends.

I'm ready to suck caulk.

Not really, but I'm burning out and haven't had a running grow room since Jan. '16.
Suddenly I'm depressed again.

Long day. Maybe tomorrow will go smoother.

That's exactly how my 3rd floor toilet was! A fucking terracotta 90! I had no idea they used planting potters as toilet flanges. Or atleast thats what I thought when I seen it lol.

I knew something was strange. Why would you cement a toilet instead of bolting it? I've seen them before in basements but never thought much about it.

When I lifted it away from wall, there was unpainted concrete block. So I assume it was put in by the local contractor when the house was built.

If he was still alive, I'd tell him his work sucks.
He did have a pretty daughter though, who graduated the year before me, so I guess I'll let it slide instead of spray painting 'cheap ass' on his tomb stone.

some of the weird shit you see is too funny.. most of the time it seems like they went out of their way to fuck it all up, the crazy rig jobs are just too fucked up to make it easier. i hate terra cotta and cast iron, both are a pain in the ass.

Yeah luckily I already had the floor ripped out lol. The solder or whatever failed on the old ass 1 1/2" copper pipe connecting the shower to to the main. And when I saw the whole apartment connected under the floor I just ripped the rest out and replaced it with schedule 40 from dem pools I had laying around.

Yeah it's like they put more effort into fucking up when doing it right would have been easier, smh.

I've spent the last 3 years redoing fucked up work.


Been putting in new unfinished cabinets, counter tops, stove, sink and the rest of the damn kitchen.
