No way dude, I'm so smart I'd easily avoid their insidious trap then flip the bird while vaulting into my Porsche and driving away.

Man I love climbing up these stairs to see you and your cats. I'm sorry that the noise I made bothered the actual owners of this house and land. Maybe sometime we can plan a life together where we don't have to ask the people downstairs if it's ok if we grow basil on the edge of their flower-box garden. Utopia.

DJ BK posted:i'm still unsure, is this about grover or not Nah that dude ain't grover, this is just sub Groverhaus levels of construction ...I kinda forgot that part of why people were so into ripping on Groverhaus was his incredible arrogance and incompetence, not just the house itself. This dude really isn't hatable. But holy poo poo though, not even grover levels. Look at this water in and out combo:  a-loving-mazing. It's like they didn't even just cut corners, they designed it to just loving own the next person who lives there. A joke on you, told via construction.

so why would someone spend time and effort to make the house as lovely as possible (the website shows proof that it wasnt always lovely) before selling it why not just sell a non lovely house without putting forward the extra effort to make it lovely what do they gain from it

So basically helps the seller dramatically cut down the home flipping costs.

With both the extent and the cleverness of the mess, plus the fact that the blog states the sellers hid behind some IRS thing, tells me they probably did it themselves. There's likely a lot of money to be made faking house upgrades. I doubt the seller just gambled on a cheap contractor; this looks like a pile of deliberate, er, cost-cutting. The raccoon feces pic is shocking.

Raskolnikov38 posted:thankfully for him its not that bad, the shower pipe is the drain from the shower to the sewer I didn't see mention of a septic system so I'm assuming city sewer. At least when you're on septic you know that it's YOUR poo poo bubbling up out of every drain in your house. On city sewer it's EVERYONE's poo poo bubbling up out of every drain in your house. Great if you want to be pozzed with hepatitis probably, but otherwise not something on the list of things to look forward to.

There's likely a lot of money to be made faking house upgrades. I doubt the seller just gambled on a cheap contractor; this looks like a pile of deliberate, er, cost-cutting. Someone quoted the sellers total holdings, and it was something like 40 houses. The guys that flip these houses rarely do the work themselves, they're too busy driving around doing salesman type stuff. The realtor was in cahoots too, making me think it wasn't some one-man operation. Totally anecdotal, but everyone I've heard of that did the work to a house themselves didn't cheap out that bad. I'm gonna assume it's something about the value of your work, and just the amount of time you have to reflect on what you're doing.

Fojar38 posted:so why would someone spend time and effort to make the house as lovely as possible (the website shows proof that it wasnt always lovely) before selling it They bought the house for $90,000. Six months later they sold the house to this doofus for $180,000. It looks like what they did was almost entirely cosmetic, like adding cable outlets that weren't connected to anything. They made the house look newer and modern, but didn't actually fix any of the problems and instead added even more problems with their shoddy work. They turned an old fashioned house your grandma might have lived in into a modern open plan house. They just did it in the cheapest way possible. He found real estate pictures from 6 months before he bought the house, showing what it looked like before the flippers bought it. Before,  After,  New paint, replaced pink grandma carpet with wood floor, tore down part of a wall to make the room look bigger. Before,  After,  Changed the floors, the countertops, and the cupboard doors. Tore out part of a wall and a closet to make the rooms look bigger and more open. I like the before better.  The after looks more modern and "airy" I guess, but you actually have less counter space and less storage space.Before,  After,  Tore out a wall and built in bookcase to make the rooms more open. New paint, replaced carpets, installed recessed lighting. The best one! Before,  After,  This one should be a straigt upgrade. They took a dingy semi-finished basement and made it into an attractive, comfortable space. Except they inexplicably took out a load bearing beam. It wasn't especially ugly. It didn't interfere with the usefulness of the space. It's like they were flat out trolling the future home owners.

As we've seen, he's literally just gutting the hell out of it and making it his own. It also means he can force the crooks to pay the bill if they ever get caught. I'm actually hoping the turnout will be he gets a successful civil suit that results in him actually making net profit off all this mess. Not likely, but it would be hilariously magical if it did happen.
