I never watched anything from Netflix because they are leftist revisionist fucks and out of curiosity I looked that up... They really did it. Switched the name of a real historical Viking leader around and turned him into a black woman...

What in the ever loving fully ionized 1000 megawatt fuck...

and, not to put too fine a point on it, but riding a horse? Vikings riding horses?
 
Shouldn’t it say “triple trouble” instead?

Motivational to me: They fixed the framing under the stairs in our new detached garage build… was gonna be kind of tough to get to the utility sink otherwise! LoL
I'd be finding a different framer. Those stairs are going to squeak like a nest of rats. PLUS:

yup.. why we called the builder out. Was wondering how long it would take someone to point out some obvious ”issues” with the job so far. All this will be covered up with drywall at some point, so not too concerned about some deviations as long as it doesn’t present a structural issue, but tells me a lot about the build quality in general.

Kind of like the crazy amount of nails used. I have neither the time nor energy to do it myself, and am constantly shocked at how low standards for stick-frame construction have continued to drop over the years.

There are at least two other flaws that have me more concerned just in this picture…. Let’s see who can find them!

Also, I think those are normal ‘cripple’ studs; just there to add thickness for the windows above. Maybe someone on here can enlighten me?

For $600? I didn’t think it was possible to make a firearm uglier AND more expensive than a KelTec.
We all mock keltec.
But my brother bought one as a goof at the range one day

I don’t know how many rounds have been shot and it’s never been cleaned or oiled.

Better than a AK lol
 
I’m don’t do framing but I’ll play. Are the stringers (?) for the stairs just toe-nailed? Shouldn’t they be supported from below?

No Bueno.

We like to head those off, so we can hang them properly. Toe nails here are not your friend.

That top plate isn't doing its job, if it's not connected 🤷‍♂️. Maybe he thought that was there for blocking 🤦‍♂️

Lots of overhang on the treads too. Seems this may have been someone very "green" to stair framing.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that gap in the boards on top of the top plate there!

But yes, that gap at the top of the stairs is my #1 concern. I’m not even sure that’s how stairs are supposed to attach at the top. What’s supporting the weight on that end, other than a few nails?

The other is how almost none of the supports between the studs are cut to the correct length; especially on the stairs:

Edit: The good news is, with the insane number of nails this framing crew went through, I think I can try to pass this off as a steel structure for insurance purposes! 🤪

I have absolutely no room to talk. I just picked up a KS7 from my FFL this week for well under $400 shipped/transferred. It’ll have more money in accessories than the gun alone is worth after adding a light/sling/and spare shell storage. 😂

I tore it down and cleaned all the packing grease/oil off it, and was impressed by the design. We all know they’re cheaply made weapons, but their designs seem to be functional (in theory, barring QC issues). Can be fun purchases if you can get past how ugly they are by noticing what you paid for them.
