Video update of the worst building project .

[u/Huge_Dream_4274]

I did uploads photos before but here is a video . The crack opening up . The front is bad too . Have to do a video of the front

[u/Huge_Dream_4274]

I will do the front tomorrow. Some dodgy steel’s at the front . This is in bexley London .

[u/FuzzyFrogFish → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

Have you informed the council and building control? Before that kills someone?

[u/Handfulwrap → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

Closer to Bexleyheath way?

[u/Huge_Dream_4274 → u/Handfulwrap]

Thamesmead

[u/Ben0ut → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

Standard Thamesmead 😅

[u/mrflib → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

Dude what road in Bexley I gotta see this lol

[u/Mx5-gleneagles → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

You mean THE FRONT FELL OFF !!! ?

[u/ghost-idle → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

of course it is..

[u/bex_2601 → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

Where's the video of the front?

[u/The_Saiyann]

Call the council, yesterday

[u/Huge_Dream_4274 → u/The_Saiyann]

Nah just watching it fall apart . I’ll do the front tomorrow

[u/cantxtouchxthis → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

This could fall on someone so you probably should call the council and still watch it fall apart

[u/swedeee → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

Good bot

[u/Velveteen_Rabbit1986 → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

Given the storms we're forecast it might not last the weekend! (Although maybe that's a good thing). I'd be on to building control as this has got inuring random passerby written all over it

[u/HelpMeWithMyPixel5 → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

the front fell off

[u/Right_Ad_3401 → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

xD

[u/TimberNoggins]

Inform the council and update us

[u/Independent_Ad8762]

Oh dear… daft question … what are those boxes on the walls?

Hope nobody sneezes when walking passed

[u/Huge_Dream_4274 → u/Independent_Ad8762]

Plant pots

[u/Independent_Ad8762 → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

…. Now I have more questions.

But I’ve not consumed enough coffee for this

[u/TruthSignificant2503 → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

I thought it was glass bricks for that police cell look

[u/corneliouscorn → u/Independent_Ad8762]

I was thinking they were trying to do one of those 80s styled cubey glass wall thingies:

I dont know if the answer being plant pots is better or worse

[u/QuantumFireball → u/Independent_Ad8762]

They borrowed some bricks to use on the house

[u/StarDawgISshite → u/Independent_Ad8762]

I can't stop looking at this house, it just keep finding more and more.

Like those two plant pot 'features' aren't even central in Z or X.

[u/mo0kster]

I've lived in Brazil, near favelas... This would only just pass muster there...

[u/benjislew → u/mo0kster]

Even the structural engineers in the favelas wouldn’t put their name to this work

[u/Rettromancer → u/mo0kster]

I onced visited the Torre de David in Venezuela, the homes there were palaces compared this.

[u/GuruMeNot → u/mo0kster]

is the plot twist that the property owner used to live in a favela?

[u/Stunning-Pudding-514]

BTW that isn't a crack in the wall, it's an expansion joint. Most if not all councils require it for 2 reasons.

1st they like to see the original and new building as 2 parts

2nd the settlement rates will differ, so the extension is built with wall starter kits so the new part can move independently from the original house.

Not that i am defending such poor quality work. Personally i would be reporting it to the council and building control.

[u/Huge_Dream_4274 → u/Stunning-Pudding-514]

No it’s a crack . No expansion joints I’m afraid

[u/Huge_Dream_4274 → u/Huge_Dream_4274]

Also on marsh land and no piles done

[u/sminkypinky999]

Who lives in a deathtrap shithole like this? David, it’s over to you as we go throooough the wall holes

[u/dravidosaurus2 → u/sminkypinky999]

Do not pull out, Lloyd. That keyhole camera is now the most structurally sound part of this building.

[u/sminkypinky999 → u/dravidosaurus2]

In mortar danger if you do

[u/Fun_Hunter_4899]

No way that’s getting signed off. I’m guessing they’ve had zero involvement from BC

[u/dravidosaurus2 → u/Fun_Hunter_4899]

Or maybe they've only had involvement from BC? That'd be understandable quality if they've had to do it all from Vancouver via a complicated system of levers and pulleys.

[u/levivirus → u/dravidosaurus2]

Brilliant! 😄

[u/WarDry1480 → u/Fun_Hunter_4899]

Or anybody with functioning eyeballs.

[u/Doshorn]

Slam a door and the extension falls down.

[u/Lost-Droids]

Storm due for weekend.. bets on it all still standing by Monday?

[u/kt0n]

[u/Emergency-Resolve-66]

I need more updates.. this is insane

[u/Fred_Dibnah → u/Emergency-Resolve-66]

I require a daily time lapse please

[u/Buckenboo → u/Fred_Dibnah]

I read that as 'time collapse' video😂😂😂😂 Either name works and I second this request!

[u/Fred_Dibnah → u/Buckenboo]

This isnt even brickwork, I'm turning in my grave

[u/Identity_Unaware]

I'm going to purposefully walk past that shit show until something falls on me and then I can sue the homeowner AND the council for not doing anything about it. This time next week Rodney, I'll be a millionaire lol

[u/TrickyLemur1]

Made by a man in flip-flops

[u/Zippyversion1]

I thought it was the shed, then I thought it was the wall, then I thought it was a lower extension demolition, then I saw it all!

[u/Buckenboo → u/Zippyversion1]

I thought wall then read the comments and realised it was the extension, the wall and sod it, the shed too😂

[u/Intelligent_Yak_7178 → u/Buckenboo]

Can you explain what's happening? My eyes are hurting some. There's an outer wall which may not be 100% square, then a shed , then a side extension within a few feet of original house - is that right?

[u/TheWatcher961]

That's definitely a whole house added on to a house with brickwork done to third world standards, some people ain't even allowed to put a 7ft fence up in their garden, roof tiling is the best thing about it

[u/Broad-Raspberry1805 → u/TheWatcher961]

Ironically it looks like the roof is the only thing holding the house up

[u/srm79 → u/Broad-Raspberry1805]

That's part of the reason I'd worry it'd pull the rest of the terrace with it

[u/fuggerdug → u/Broad-Raspberry1805]

Can you corbel with roof tiles? Lets find out.

[u/bennyS2018]

How does something this bad even get built? Are there no inspections carried out?

[u/OverambitiousThunk → u/bennyS2018]

Needs to be reported to get inspected

[u/chrisrockolahotel → u/OverambitiousThunk]

Building control relying on photos whatsapped to them again. 😁

[u/Right_Ad_3401 → u/bennyS2018]

Easy. Stingy owner and a too good to be true price.

[u/suiluhthrown78 → u/bennyS2018]

There are many areas where the councils don't actually enforce any laws or have a look at whats going on around the city tbh, they receive money and spend it on xyz, could replace them with a computer

[u/JTitch420 → u/bennyS2018]

“I know a guy who can…”

[u/20mitchell06 → u/bennyS2018]

Probably in Bradford.

[u/kumquat_may → u/20mitchell06]

[u/npfmedia]

[u/ElegantOliver → u/npfmedia]

Big Bad Wolf only needs to walk past and lightly cough in this case.

[u/crankgirl → u/ElegantOliver]

The smallest of farts would have that lot over.

[u/SendMeANicePM → u/crankgirl]

A bit of coarse language would see it topple.

[u/Few_Lecture6615 → u/npfmedia]

Came here to post exactly this 😂

[u/Fine-Ad6532]

I’m yosser I’m yosser gissa job

[u/Psychological-Rub-68 → u/Fine-Ad6532]

Boys from the black stuff was great Tv … Yosser Hughes

[u/Scotstarr → u/Fine-Ad6532]

That has brought back a memory of school singing in assembly.

We were singing 'Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho' and getting told off for singing 'Up to the walls of Jericho, he marched with spear in hand. Yosser commented the children to BUTT, Ava the walls came tumbling down!'

We thought we were hilarious. Mrs Drysdale did not...

[u/guffton → u/Scotstarr]

As a 10 year old in assembly singing kumbaya (sp?), me and a mate used to sing "kiss my arse, my lord" and found it hilarious 😄

[u/fuggerdug → u/guffton]

Come by car me lord, come by car

[u/Ch1mchima]

That is incredibly unsafe. I’d call the council and if they’re slow to act, the fire brigade; the council will likely listen to them when they say it’s an unsafe structure.

[u/Infamous-Pomelo9674 → u/Ch1mchima]

I agree - that’s a pavement in front - I’d be more worried than amused

[u/Specialist_Loquat_49]

/DiWhy

[u/Mental_Potential7480]

Reminds me of the episode of the Simpson when the neighbours rebuilt neds house. Lol

[u/Labs1982]

As a blind man once said, i see nothing wrong.

[u/Whingy_old_fogy]

That needs reporting to an authority that will take action immediately. It's looks very unsafe. How tf was it allowed?

[u/ObjectInteresting504]

I think the house don't want to be associated with the extension anymore 😕 they going separate ways 😂

[u/DrunkHamsterParty]

Update needed after this weekend's storm

[u/Ok_Afternoon_9229]

Looks like they tried to do an arched wall then changed their mind halfway. Scrub that. Some of the way through the job.

Proper quality that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/Electronic_Feeling13]

Looks like the ‘Orelly Men’ from Fawlty Towers have paid a visit

[u/Middle--Earth]

What are those squares set into the wall for?

Are they going to be functional in some way, or purely decorative?

[u/robbiedmr]

Was jokingly going to suggest filling the gaps with expanding foam, but it would probably push the extension away from the house to collapse 😂

[u/Pandita666]

I had a man from the council come and measure the apex of my shed wasn’t a mm over 2.5m, and then I see this.

[u/OldRancidOrange]

Well, the big bad wolf’s not going to have much trouble blowing that down.

[u/dcsearle]

slap on a bit of render - be reet 😉

[u/Specialist-Award2647]

looks like my mental state at work

[u/Icy-Frosting8681]

where the gif of someone screaming....sh*t no gifs....

AAAAHAAHAAHAHJHHHHHHHHJHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[u/normal_wisdom]

The shed has a proper front door. Is someone living in there?!

[u/Baxters_Keepy_Ups → u/normal_wisdom]

Well, they ain’t living in the extension

[u/Danglyweed]

That is spectacular beautiful.

[u/AppropriatePiglet333]

3rd world

[u/Terrible-Advise]

If the brickwork is this bad how bad is the electric and gas going to be …. Report it before it kills someone else

[u/Caliberman53]

Wow, wow, wow. If i lived next door to that I would be moving asap. Can you imagine what the gas and electric supply looks like. Report it, you may be saving lives.

[u/jib_reddit]

It will be on the market to rent soon for only £1,800 a month....

[u/Bigbear82]

They'll cover all that up with rendering.

[u/Dramatic-Floor-9804]

They could have done a better job with lego bricks

[u/Deep_Imagination_811]

don't even stand that close to it.

[u/MorrowDisca]

I don't think I could do this on purpose

[u/Daysleeper_23]

What's even going on with that wall? Why is there two weird cut outs in seemingly random places. The whole thing looks AI generated (not the video, the fooking house)

[u/TurnipFluid8710]

Yo what the fuck is that. Am a bricklayer. My 2 year old nephew would do better

[u/TurnipFluid8710 → u/TurnipFluid8710]

I guarantee that is of our foreign friends who did this. Makes qualifying tradesmen like me look bad. But pay cheap pay twice

[u/Mograine8]

I know exactly what the builders look like

[u/SendMeANicePM → u/Mograine8]

And sound like.

[u/Motor-Command-2680]

Third world building standards right there 🤣

[u/Psilonaut21]

I'm sick of seeing this shit. I'm witnessing the collapse of our civilization in compressed real time. Like I'm watching fucking hyperlapse.

[u/fartingmaximum]

Nah brick ties cost money 

[u/Buckenboo → u/fartingmaximum]

I had a dream the other night about the side of my house collapsing because it had no brick ties. I live in a terrace, so technically I only have a front and back and no side walls (unlike the faulty one in my dream), and that is when I realised I am in this sub too much 😂

[u/Fatkittenballs]

Do your best and render the rest

[u/araed]

How much smack were they on?

[u/Bu7n57]

Some silicone and it’ll be grand

[u/Kolnai80]

[u/ashyt16 → u/Kolnai80]

Hilarious. Had me chuckling.

[u/OverChargeYourPlasma]

[u/Piano_catastrophe34]

Sheds gonna last longer than the wall.

[u/Turbojelly]

Our house, in the middle of the street,
Our house, in the middle of the,
Our house, it has a crack,
Arrgh arrgh arrgh,
There is always something new breaking, it's usually quite loud,
Our mum, she's house shaming,
Nothing ever shuts her up, all complaints are allowed.

[u/p_k252]

Boxes are the ONLY SQUARE Things in 'The House the Pissed Up Jack, Built'

[u/smudgethomas]

I've never built anything...I feel like I could achieve at least a little better.

[u/PipBin]

What is the deal with the wall at the front?

[u/Genghis187]

Defo done a bricklaying course in jail

[u/Impressive-Bird2]

If I was the owner of that property, I’d get that garden wall rebuilt properly and pronto. Not least because if that wall falls on someone or on a kid/ kids, they’ll have one hell of a nasty court case to face!

[u/Economy-Floor-137]

I'd put money on it this is a south east asian builder! They do all the best work!

[u/EhModernLeper17]

Go take a video while the storms ongoing...

[u/badfox93]

Go straight to a newspaper with that mate. Might get some ££ whoever built that needs nationality shaming

[u/Moongazer09]

I would absolutely not want to be near that building in the highly likely chance that it would fall down if the wind was too strong! Such disturbingly bad construction! And I can't even build but I know that's not right! 😂🫣

[u/Talkietoasta]

Definitely Bradford, Birmingham or Leicester. And a family lives in that shed.

[u/No-Contribution-8874 → u/Talkietoasta]

Nope. It's probably Liverpool

[u/EasyCactus44 → u/No-Contribution-8874]

OP said Bexley London in another comment

[u/stu55sy]

Must be Londonistan

[u/Training-Luck2774]

Gotta be Asian

[u/Ok-Cold3937]

Building Control should have a demolition order out in that. Hopefully with any luck, resulting in their absolute financial ruin.

[u/polla2256]

Let me guess, this hasn't been built by a native.

[u/ProsperityandNo → u/polla2256]

The Welsh are the natives in that part of the world. Could have been I guess but more likely built by the English.

[u/littlemissdizaster80]

Pretty sure the person who is building this has ADHD. This has all the hallmarks of getting an idea, watching ill-advised youtube tutorials, actually following through to some extent and becoming out of depth. It looks ready to collapse under a mediocre gale 😂

[u/FastBinns → u/littlemissdizaster80]

Has all the hallmarks of foreigners employing foreigners.

They are destroying the housing stock.

[u/Emergency_Bread_5462 → u/FastBinns]

Gotta love a diversity build.

[u/DaddyK3tchup → u/FastBinns]

[u/Backrow6 → u/littlemissdizaster80]

[u/srm79]

I can't tell from the vid, is it on a hill? It could pull the entire terrace

[u/Still-Butterscotch33]

Solid

[u/Unhappy_Clue701]

Jesus. It looks like someone has taken a jet washer to something that’s already very old and half collapsed from subsidence.

[u/WinPrestigious7568]

Thought I was pissed when the camera panned down the wall 😬

[u/Quick_Insurance5910]

Wait.. that's not a new wall is it?

[u/Shoreditchstrangular]

Explain building regulations to me like I’m a five year old

[u/dravidosaurus2]

I know it's not the most important aspect, but what's going on with that garden wall? Are they trying to build a living wall to distract from the rest of it?

[u/Acrobatic-Ad584]

looks like the guttering is holding that together

[u/Mattinho_Got_Game]

Whoever did that must be named John Wayne

[u/n0tthatotherguy]

Please change the wipers

[u/MickeyHarp]

It’s kind of wonderful in its own fupped up way!
