A shoe molding is thin enough that it could bend to follow the ceiling contour and wouldn't need to be scribed (which is the point of it). It would effectively hide the imprecision, but it would diminish the modernist aesthetic.

Notice how the article subtly carries water for the liberals/fascists by only mentioning Bottoms (a liberal) as the opposition, while leaving out any progressive or leftist ones.

The effective opposition to the fascists would be somebody like Jason Esteves (of the candidates whose names I recognize, anyway), not Bottoms.

You mean, before employers stole our paid lunch breaks and gaslit everyone into forgetting about them.

cut straight.

Well there's your problem! Unless you're prepared to skim coat and flatten the ceiling, you've got to scribe your trim to it (and even then the result will be "less bad," not "good"). Straight won't work!

You can't do trim on trim because it's too much ornamentation for those modernist cabinets.

This is a perfect example of what folks often don't understand about modernism: they think it should be cheap because it has simple shapes without fancy ornamentation, but they don't realize the ornamentation hides all the crimes. To do modernism right you have to have precision instead, and that actually costs more than fancy trim.


Frankly, the drywaller needs to be called back in, because he didn't understand the assignment.

This is less a legal issue, and more an activate-the-restraints-on-the-biobed issue while Bev and Deanna try to figure out WTF is wrong with you.

Calling out fallacies isn't done for the benefit of the muppet. It's done for the benefit of onlookers who might otherwise fall for the muppet's bullshit.

What the fuck is your problem? Words have meanings.

I mean, the higher-density parts are surely incredibly expensive, too. Elton John's place (which he apparently sold a few years ago for over $7M) was a high-rise condo on Peachtree Road. And that was an older building near West Wesley; I'd expect newer buildings near Paces Ferry or Lenox Road to be even higher $/ft^2^.

People in John's Creek wish they could afford property in Buckhead. It's a big area (more than one neighborhood), but parts of it are neighborhoods with names like "Tuxedo Park" that contain legitimate mansions, including the governor's mansion. People like Tyler Perry and Elton John live there. You get the idea.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
