  Me starting a project “What kind of alcoholic simpleton set up THIS CONTRAPTION?!? This is why we need professionals”

  Also me, finishing a project “I’m done fiddling with this godforsaken piping. That’s good enough, leave it for the next person”

  And thus the cycle continues anew

    My rule is that it goes back less fucked than it came out

    Sometimes it’s not by much, but it still happens

    Which is why I’m pissed my FIL redid my kitchen light switch without me there: it came out broken, went in the way he likes, and now half my kitchen doesn’t work and I cant figure out the fucking arcane bullshit the original guy did to fix it

  This is why I jumped at the chance to buy my parents' old house when they moved out. Not only were they giving me a good deal, but I knew how my dad took care of the place and that I wasn't buying a fire hazard or worse.

  I weep for whoever bought my parents old house. My dad left so much half-assed shit that’s going to break again for them to find. Hell he’s already done a number on their new house and that’s just what I can see walking through. I’m probably going to inherit that one…
