Memes and Jokes (Part 3)

The person shopping for these groceries is choosing some very expensive options -= cut up fruit has such a huge markup, as do snack size packages of snacks. You can do a lot better if you’re willing to do that work yourself.

Also is there a puppy laying down next to the bananas?

OK, and this person is a moron anyway.

They’ve spent an extra $2,000 for that waterfall countertop edge and then stuck that crap-assed outlet into it. What kind of idiot does that?!

Its a sack of potatoes, lol

Doesn’t look like pre-cut to me.

All in, I added it up to about $90, plus tax.

That’s ridiculous looking. You will die! When I tell you the hands-off owners of a rental my husband manages decided to get “involved” with remodeling this 75+ yr old craftsman house. The window casings are 6" wide, beautifully crafted reclaimed pine along with all original doors of the same wood. They. Want. To. Paint. It. All. White! They want all white cabinets and white with little squiggle grey CAMBRIA countertops (but want to nickle and dime the fixtures at Lowes :roll_eyes:) They, well mainly 1 sister of the 3, are sucking the life and character out of this house. But I quote, “I watch a lot of HGTV, I know what I’m doing”. No ma’am, no you don’t. You’re watching a decade old episodes! All white with grey is dated. They are breaking my heart :dizzy_face:
ETA: It’s 89 years old!

KISS. OF. DEATH.

I once had a potential client throw me out of the house when I told her the full-scale master suite remodel was going to take 8-10 weeks to complete because ‘the people on HGTV do it in a weekend’.

Does she know half of that is fake. And plenty of those flippers are getting sued now too.
Good luck with a weekend flip, ma’am! Quality painters take that long.

Someone who needs power on the island?

Well, building code requires you to have outlets on the island. My point is that you should design those outlets into a location that does not make the expensive waterfall edge a complete travesty.

They should be on the side IMO. Why cut into the countertop at all. My friend has almost this exact same set up. She has cabinets and shelving on both sides. There is a piece of cabinet filler, 6" wide that has outlets on both sides of the island (frontwards in this pic) and on the side opposite the sink. They are higher up and not very noticeable but accessible.

This is a work hazard. I did not notice the outlet until you pointed it out. I was stressed over their shopping decisions though

A waterfall edge costs that much more??? Wow

““Restored” is the antidote to all of the flipping shows that contribute to rabid consumerism, the McMansionization of historic neighborhoods, and gentrification, which is known to disproportionately impact people of color.”

It can easily triple that depending on if you want bookend match and the side the countertop has the waterfall.

It’s another renovation show. I usually end up throwing my shoe at the TV when I try to watch one.
