How my brother hangs an exterior door in an area prone to hurricanes.


Another exterior door he hung. From a distance it's not so obviously bad.


But a closer view shows it better.

OH jeeeez!

Man, you'd be better off having Tim Taylor doing your fixits!

*ANYONE* including a blind 70 year-old man who's lived his entire life in a hut on Borneo, would do better.

That's true! Where do me find this guy from Borneo, anyway?

Paddington Station, London?

Yep. That's a typical example of his 'work'. I just discovered he never even bothered to fill in the gap between the drywall and the bathroom shower stall! I've just spackled it in -it was only a five minute job. He used that shower every day since Feb and couldn't be bothered to do even *that*.

Hopefully, I've also set the toilet roll holder securely in the wall. I'm waiting for the spackle to set thoroughly before I reassemble it and test it.

*nods* Everything he touched is like that. I'm going to have to hand-whittle & fill in doorframes too, where he 'eyeballed' 45 degree angles (despite having been given a fancy tool that would cut them automatically).
