    I used to live in a brick rowhouse, and the arched transom started to crack. I thought I’d diy repoint it myself, only to find out that a previous contractor had “fixed” it by jamming cardboard in the cracks and filled it in with caulk. Totally legit.

      I will be DIYing everything for the rest of my life because that’s apparently the only way to hire someone who gives a fuck.

    Cy: People buying million dollar homes think they’re getting the A-Team. They’re not. It’s the same builders that build the cheap homes.

      What cheap homes? No one is building those these days, other than maybe Habitat for Humanity and companies making mobile/prefab homes.

      Supposed to be a vent, but there is no hole in the roof. Contractor did not cut hole in the roof, just installed the “vent” so that it looks ok.

      That cap is there to protect a hole from getting rained on. Usually vents or something. The thing is there but no hole.
