AHHH.... why can't people just do things right the first time?
I swear my house was designed by retards, built by morons, wired by monkeys, and plumbed by apes...
My latest project of correcting retardedness (that is a word) has drawn out and I'm just plain tired of it.
We have 3 doors that exit onto the back deck, one of which is a double door. We've always had water intrusion under the back doors due to a couple problems. The largest is the deck. It was built TIGHT against the house and right up to the bottom of the door thresholds. This meant that when a storm comes and the wind is blowing it blows the water up against the house and the only place the water has to go is up under the doors. Also, the dryer vent, for some stupid reason, was vented under the deck at ground level. The deck is also right near ground level. This meant there was no way to clean/inspect the dryer vent termination. Also, the deck settled is several places due to lack on concrete on posts. The deck ripped off the house where it settled and pulled away from the house. So in my attempts to fix a multitude of problems I decides I'm going to tear the first several rows of board off the deck, drop it down a couple inches, reattach the parts the tore away, and then raise the parts that settled. At the same time I was going to "do something" with the retarded dryer venting problem. I discovered with the dryer vent they ran a 50 foot run of corrugated flex duct. This meant that the dryer couldn't push the air very well. That problem was correct, and the dryer vent was made accessible. Lowered the deck where it attaches to the house and raised the portions that need it. Did I mention the deck is 10' X 48'? It took a LOT of work to do this all by myself. I took an extra day off work and had a 5 day weekend and come tonight I'm ready to put it all back together. So I start putting it back together. Do you know how hard it is to put composite decking together with all those little plastic clips? It's a PITA... Got it all put back together with much help from my wonderful wife... and something wasn't quite right.
I'm not sure what happened, but somewhere along the lines, the boards got TIGHTER, and now can't get them all to sit back down tight. So I have to tear the top back off, rip one board, and put it all back together again... stupid retarded little plastic clips... AAAAAAHHHHH.... gonna have to take off work early tomorrow just to get it done before I run out of daylight...
I don't have time for this.... I have so much stuff to get done around the house before I leave the country for 6 months.... I'm down to just a couple more weeks to get all this crap done so my wife doesn't have to deal with it... If the retards would have just done things right the first time I wouldn't have to deal with it...
And the guy that built the decks on all the homes in the addition was bragging about how he built the decks... I sure wouldn't be proud of the stupidity involved in the building of the decks...
Sorry, just had to vent... let it all out....
