Hope is my best strategy

I like this thread :thumbsup:

It reminds me of someone I know.. older guy, kind of an asshole.
When something breaks he's too cheap to pay to get it fixed, so he YOUTUBES how to fix it. Need something built? Let's YOUTUBE that too. :facepalm:

Nothing wrong with that, I Youtube plenty of things to DIY fix things. Especially on my car.

^ +1 for youtube school

i do that all the time.. only when i cant figure it out myself or on youtube would i pay for it to get fixed

I YouTube for instructions all the time, but only cause I'm a "handyman".

But people should also know their place and not try to be a hero.
Not everyone is good at DIY stuff.
And it's probably better for those to just hire some professionals before they make things worst.

I think most people underestimate how hard it is to build something like that. especially when you don't have the right tools.

When you Youtube how to install a toilet..

It doesn't make it leak proof..
or when you need to patch a hole in a wall.. and your mudding skills are worse then a dogs.

(Just some examples)

my neighbour made a shed/garage from scratch, pretty damn impressive structure. it has a slanted metal roof, rain gutters, window, and barn style door in case he wanted to back his van in to it...only thing missing was he didn't do any electrical in there for lights or receptacles...or plumbing...but man it was impressive seeing him spend a summer building it himself.

when youtube DIY videos fail, WHO YOU GONNA CALL

Time lapse part II. It's the 50/50/90 rule.









The paint makes it happen.

lol while browsing the forum I didn't know reddit had a Vancouver section.

audition for the next season of canadas worst handyman

Is it finished? lol

That's what my LEGO houses look like!

I don't know about you, Gumby, but my Lego™ houses don't have gaps the size of a Ho's snatch and the pieces are lined up straight. LOL.

wonder how long the shed will last

Looks like the place is based off of 16th Ave, and I'm pretty sure I know where that barn/silo combo is. Think I may have to go for a drive and check it out in person at some point. :D

the big bad wolf could blow that shit down...

This POS is the only reason I'm looking forward to rain this weekend

The rain will be funny.

But, and correct me if I'm wrong, because I've only lived in BC for 15 years...so newbie...but we occasionally get wind storms here, right?

Reminds me years ago of this guy in East Van across the alley that built a cinder block garage that was just horrible.

Solid effort. Levels are cheap. In a crunch, you can just sit a glass of water on something and say, "Hey, its kind of level."

a level building doesn't add 'character' :badpokerface:

same guy who probably built this abomination in pyongyang

Unoccupied and unfinished since 1992 :fulloffuck:

Hotel of Doom - Ryugyong Hotel - Pyongyang - Esquire

^^Well, with a name like 'Hotel of Doom', you can see why people wouldn't be lining up to invest...

^^Well that is only the case for those who can not read.
