It's a white trash world....

It's a white trash world....

And it call be all summed up in one photo.



I came home from work today hoping that the handyman was able to put my bathroom back together while I was at work.

We all know I'm not feeling 100% and the last thing I want to do is spend another night looking at the half-assed unskilled attempt at updating my bathroom that's been happening.

I didn't think it could look worse....

Yet, knowing this is the FINISHED outcome of his handiwork is way worse than I could have ever imagined.

Is this for real? What the fuck is that?? A piece of wall trim???

I have oficially experienced the Walmart version of carpentry. My eyes hurt from looking at this.

Did you happen to notice it's sitting on a tilt??

    wow, such craftsmanship!! He should be so proud of himself!
I went to work a little bit later than normal today because I had a work event to go to tonight. This guy was at my door at 9am wanting to explain his handiwork.

Good lord....

    Oh boy. that is a terrible job setting your vanity...then the mirror is tilted? That is very bad workmanship. Did you csll your landlord?
The mirror is fine.... That's just how much the cabinet is off. I did text those photos to the manager.... But I think I'm stuck. I can only see this scenario getting worse.

The apartment manager tried telling me he had shimmed it and put a level to it. I responded back with those photos and said, I don't see how. She apologized and said he would be back to take a look and figure out what to do next. I don't even want him back in my apartment.

    Men can be lazy fucks. Hope to God you didn't have to pay for that. Only thing worse than a lazy man is paying a lazy man. I'm sorry, but I work too hard to have someone waste my money. Only person that gets to do that shit is me. Well trim on a bathroom floor hurts my own eyes to even look at it.
I didn't pay for it, thank God. He is employed by the management company that takes care of my complex. This is just all around wrong on so many levels. The apartment manager has been trying to stick up for this guy... My guess is it's someone she knew.

    You need to teach your handy man how to shim the cabinet so that it is level or scribe the cabinet or a filler to make it look professional. Should be able to find any of that on the u tube.
This handyman is a fucktard. I honestly don't know how he got the job. Everything he has done in my apartment has been a debacle.

    In fact, does the door nest to the wall open nicely. If not then the cabinet needs to slide away from the wall and a filler used.
The door does open, I have no issues there. I'm hoping if, and when, they get this thing actually leveled out the doors will sit properly and that gap will disappear.

Yep, unfortunately, and this no talen ass hat is doing all the hacking. I'm cringing at the thought that he will be back in my apartment tomorrow "fixing" the cabinet. What fresh hell am I going to come home to tomorrow.

    Is that a piece of baseboard on the floor at the very bottom? That looks like crap! I wouldn't mention you checked his work with a tape measure, I doubt he knows what one is!
Yes, indeedy, that is a piece of baseboard. And, you are 100% correct, it looks like crap. I'm embarrassed to have anyone use my bathroom. I texted the tape measure photos to the apartment manager when she told me she had looked at the cabinet and it was just an optical illusion when you look at it from the door.

    i did my bathroom remodeled myself, it wasn't easy, it took a week or more, but it is pretty much to my liking now...suppose it is your apartment huh?
Not my apartment, I only rent.

Thank God...

I've been complaining nonstop to the apartment manager. This all started simply because I wanted my bathroom faucet fixed. The next thing I know, I'm getting a new vanity, mirror, and light fixture. I want my old crap back.

    I can hold my breath for a minute or so
    Five days without food is as long as i'll go
    I didn't sleep once for four days and three nights
    I once didn't stop for seven red lights
    I jumped into water that's fifty degrees
    I've rowed in a kayak in thirty foot seas
    I've stayed in the woods for a week with a knife
    A flint, when i lost it, nearly cost me my life
    Twenty years later, i'm still upside down

    It's a small world, but it's turning real fast

He left me toilet paper.... As well as a handprint of white shit on my shower curtain when he washed his hands in my tub. You can't see it in the photo, but the new vanity was narrower then the old vanity, so he had to retexture the wall and paint it around the new vanity. That ALSO looks like shit.

    I wouldn’t hand over a penny till it was done to what I specifically asked for agreed to and actually wanted. Learned that the hard way getting our first home built. Whatta freakin headache. Make him re-do and call BBB. Might save others from the heartache that way too. Again... my condolences.
I didn't pay for this, this is the handyman hired to keep the complex taken care of. He SUCKS at his job, he has literally got no skills. My ex-husband works in construction, and we actually built our home that we lived in, so I do have an eye for this stuff just out of sheer exposure to it. This is just plain terrible.
