That flipped house looked amazing, even more so with the Zillow photos. That kitchen is incredible.
They've had it for just over a year and it already looks like a trailer park shithole.
It LOOKED boss....but it's a real cheap flip job. We sperged at length about it, but that was a cheap, fast conversion with shitty materials - it was textbook flip; bright lighting, clean lines and hugely overpriced - the idea is punters bargain them down and think they've got a good deal. They must've thought all their crimbos came at once when Grub just paid the asking price. Twat.
Key cheap shit- exterior is draining towards the house. All the gravel may look clean and flash, but the land slopes down toward the house and the landscaping will filter the water. There's no retaining wall and insufficient drainage. That's a major fail; nobody with half a brain cell would even have bothered looking inside. But we have Grub and Spastic Prinx who did, and, blinded by SHINY! NEW! STUFF! missed:-
- Despite eye-searing lighting and overblown phtos the lower room was still dark in the pic and the cheap drop ceiling made it even worse. Will be a damp pit in no time. But I'm sure Grubbles asked all about the damp coursing.
- Kitchen is cheap big-box with low-range appliances. Badly planned and no nice materials. The exception is the "reclaimed wood" of the island (possibly) but that's a dumb place to have nice, unfinished wood anyway. Wonder if silverfish fulfil their posh aesthetic?
- The bathroom is so cheap the vanity is an additional, leftover kitchen cupboard! The ceiling is a crap suspension and is on two different levels, there's no glazed shower cabinets, just plastic curtains etc etc.
- The floors are sheet vinyl. Everywhere. It may LOOK like hardwood, but it's not even laminate.
Those are just what I remember; the fellas picked up loads more, as did our ladies of taste (I'll find you the pages if you want a laugh.) The only nice thing was the setting, which was exquisite. Was. But those open-plan, brightly lit designer photos will, in reality, be an expensive heating nightmare, so damp and dark mushrooms grow in it, all those shiny white walls don't stay white long espeshly as they'll be running with condensation, sound amplifies in that layout and no way to get away from each other - in reality, it'll be much smaller than you'd expect too, hence Bootface running her media empire from a cupboard! The best thing for that swamp shed would be a bulldozer but now the setting is destroyed its not even worth the hire cost of one.
Idiots like these two are a flipper's dream. In a hurry, only interested in surface appearance, blinded by bling and dumber than a welly boot with Alzheimer's. It's one cheapshit flip he paid full whack for, which is a special kind of stupid.
Reminds me...I have a bridge to sell Grub.
