Home depot needs to rope off areas!!!

So I moved into my new place a few weeks ago. I have been going threw things to get my shop up and running, as well as fix crap that was done wrong.
I think some areas of home depot should be kept away from dumb asses and DIY’s with not one second of experiance. The stuff I see as I open electrical boxes and get into the roof area are scary.
The house is built real well, and is very good in most ways. The only areas that are fucked up are the ones you know previous home owners did.
Its frustrating to see such bad work.

On a side note, I was in the attic, and there is literally a tree fort in the attic made out of tongue and groove and tar paper, complete with a hinged door and everything. My attic isn’t like its a walk in on a 2 story building, this is a 50’s ranch with a rickety set of stairs going into the attic. Weird shit.

We had a leaking pipe in an upstairs bathroom, it started leaking about a month after I just redid the lower bath, new ceiling totally ruined.

Anyways, the douche previous owner had used epoxy to “glue” in a pipe to the main stack instead of using the proper reducer and fitting (a 90 cent item at a specialty plumbing store)…

So, I had to torch off the old shit, and get the proper fitting. Of course I had to cut a hole in the drywall upstairs, then remove all the wet drywall downstairs in the ceiling, and then redo everything.

Fun.

It’s not really a tree fort if it’s in your attic. It’s an attic fort. Unless there is a tree growing through the middle of your house, which would really make your entire house a tree fort, which would make your attic fort a tree fort tree fort and is obviously only there because Xzibit heard you like tree forts. Dawg.

I work at Lowe’s and the idiocracy of some our employees astounds me. I am half their age and triple their education in the department they are working lol.

I can’t wait to add in 20-30 hidden open electrical junction boxes in my house! Masking tape will hold wires together well correct?

In for pictures of Great Attic Fort.

Question: Can you fit a stove in your attic fort? Then you can make it an attic kitchen for your wife to cook in.

One of our best carpenters told me he built what you are describing in his parent’s attic when he was 10 years old. Although I think he actually wound up buying that house, chopped up roof trusses and all. LOL
