Yeah Im all for the public shaming of a former admin but I've never really "gotten" the whole groverhaus thing. From the outside it just looks like a lovely generic house? I can't see the minute imperfections that other goons seem to go wild for

There is no limit on the number of outlets you can have as per NEC, however it's p retarded to put in as many as he did. Think the rule of thumb is 10-ish unless you want to actually do the math and work out max theoretical load per branch.

right now: 'lol grover built a a lovely house on a drained out swamp. everything about the house sucks holy poo poo' in 30 years to annoyed adult child who is tired of this story: 'grover built a lovely house then he burned the siding off with his grill lmfao' in 50 years decades after grover's house has been reclaimed by the swamp and most of the west coast is underwater, a rare moment of lucidity to care taker: 'c..come over here dearie.' 'closer.' 'grover built a piece of poo poo death trap house and it sucks balls lol'

sometimes i like to give military folk the benefit of the doubt, that maybe they weren't immoral monsters before enlisting, that their now-tenuous claim to the title "human" (if only by rough physical approximation, in cases where horns and scales have not yet sprouted) is due to the dehumanizing breakdown process of boot camp indoctrination. Then you realize grover isn't even in the military. He's just scum. Scum congealed into an uncanny-valley obscenity that mocks the form and function of human beings. It is an offense to life that he is permitted continued existence.

Grover was never in the military, which is a large part of why he melted down every week when he was the GiP mod since he was just a punch line that could press a probate button.

Dirty Beluga posted:where did the load bearing drywall thing come from? Just re-read the original thread for shits and didn't see it. grover posted:Edit: Oh, and the tie-in with the existing house! In my case, I decided it was easier just to put in a 2nd wall, as I would have had to dick too much with the roof to try to tie straight in; the existing footer wasn't really built for a 2-story house, either. This will also allow for the settling in the addition to (hopefuly) be even. I ended up undercutting my foundation and pouring a new footer about a foot deeper than the old footer, which the masons blocked up, with a 1" gap. Wasn't enough- the existing wall bowed in 1.5" which ended up messing with my new walls too, which sucked You can't tell in the finished house, but it was readily apparent when hanging the kitchen cabinets, and it still bothers me that my wall isn't perfectly plumb! The two walls are nailed together at several places, most notably, I nailed the the ceiling in the old kitchen to the header I put on the new wall when I broke the new opening between the two. I placed a 2x6 above the existing joists in the attic, used 16D nails to nail through to the new triped 2x12 header, and put on hurricane straps to support the existing joists. Then I knocked out the 2x4s holding the ceiling up. So, essentially, the ceiling is now suspected by hurricane straps from a board nailed through sheating into the other wall! I hope there isn't much settlings between the walls, heh.

The best thing about groverhaus is that it didn't pass inspection, so he went out and got his certification. So instead of fixing it, he just passed it himself as is.

In fact I think most of the groverhaus derision comes from gip hating him. they also can't tell some idiot on an internet comedy forum to leave without being petulant crybabies about deserving respect lol http://getridofgrover.blogspot.com/ quote:Gover has offended and alienated many of the military members and GiP posters. For instance, he has stated that he is entitled to the respect of a senior military officer (Lt. Colonel) as a result of his civilian position - a suggestion that is genuinely insulting to military members and demonstrates a lack of character and understanding of the very forum population he’s supposed to be moderating. Grover’s self-righteous vanity (and apparent contempt for the military) dates back to the inception of GiP. Remember, this is who is moderating. He is not a positive representative for GiP and is not wanted: take a look at this thread from the first month of GiP’s existence. In situations where he’s unable to use his authority against his detractors and people do not fear (immediate) retaliation, he is largely incapable of taking part in the discussion due to others’ reactions to him. Still, he does not stray from targeting forums users who mock him in IRC (where he has no moderating power). This is highly inappropriate, as his authority is only relevant in GiP, and thus he should only consider posts in that sub-forum. my lovely forum for racist jokes and murder stories

my favorite grover story was when he issued a mod challenge to caro, the incredibly mentally unbalanced goon who thought the cia was contacting him with microwave beams and died in a torture prison in syria. the mod challenge was to win a fight with a goon cop through martial prowess and of course caro was all loving pumped up, and of course no one fought him, and by the end of the thread caro was schooling everybody with his knowlegde of microwaves and theoretical physics or whatever and grover was sort of scratching his chin and go8ng, huh, you know thats right caro. anyway somebody goldmined it and now caro is dead. rest in peace sweet goon for you certainly knew no peace during your time on esrth

Reminder that grover demanded that people call him staff sergeant because he claims that working as a computer janitor in a barracks as a civilian contractor is an equal to serving in the actual military and getting an actual title.
