This morning I received a call from a gentleman that I know through my Aunt, but he is not someone that I've done any work for. The reason for the call was a leak from his newly built shower. Why me??? I had built my Aunt's shower a month before he had his done. He asked if I could shed some light on the work done.
One look at the hole in the ceiling below the shower was all that I needed to understand the mindset of the guy who built this and of a lot of people out there who pass themselves off as contractors and handymen.
This hack had not replaced the strip sub floor, had placed the liner directly on the sub floor without a pre slope and from what I could see, the top layer seemed to thin down to infinity which is exactly where his ass should have been dispatched........
So in honour of Hacks like these, I present you a gallery of 'You always get what you pay for'
Have you ever heard of a ABS to Copper Transition coupling??????
The liner.... I can see the liner.... Do you comprehend P R E S L O P E ?????? What the hell did you do to the Sub Floor????
A 72" spirit level would have helped....... to beat some sense into you. You don't need tools to see that the drain is anything but square, level or plumb
Duct tape will not fix everything......
Did you cut this recess with a butter knife??? and then try to cover it up with caulk????
I guess junction boxes are overrated.....
as are the clamps that are built into junction boxes
Why bother clamping your cable when you can pierce the wire with a loooong effing screw....
and why bother with a junction box, when you have the opportunity to short it against the copper stack pipe......
This is known as a faucet extension. All the rage......
By now we've established that junction boxes are no longer necessary.... or desired.
OK. Who invited the ants. It looks like they brought the entire colony.
Who needs a stud detector when you have a hammer
If I had a hammer......
This situation needs Divine intervention......
Someone approved this tile job.....
Stud detector???? I have a drill.......

And finally, we can do away with proper venting as well
