    That's terrible: Do people not take pride in their work anymore?

    It's okay though because that sheetrock screw identifies as a deck screw and is therefore suitable for outdoor use...

    The angle is everything. The friction factor is surely less than the bottom of the ladder. Your point is 100% correct, the ladder/board interface is where it would slip. That is unless he leans too far to the left. And the steps are designed to be loaded the other direction. But, otherwise looks...

    That's terrible placement for the toilet paper, it's not very easy to reach. They should have installed the holder here: It's also worth noting that by putting the return air in the bathroom, there's no need for an exhaust vent...Pretty clever planning...Just sayin'...

    The official "WTF" thread

    I love my battery operated tools. But, they have their place just like battery operated vehicles. They work great for golf carts and apparently in China they make cars with swappable batteries.

    IDK if the future is EV...It seems there's a lot of pressure to move that way, but it has its problems. People are already disgruntled that the vehicles are totalled when the battery goes out...Imagine the disgust people will have once the newer ones reach the end of the life for the batteries...
