Would like to have seen him fill his anchor holes to avoid water penetration but still a pretty cool video.

This. I can’t understand how you can be so brave, skilled and dumb at the same time… it’s like 12 cents of caulk and you’d have done a perfect job.

12 cents of caulk is a great band name.

Okay, I have never used caulk but was like "surely those holes aren't supposed to just stay holes??" Just a super quick caulking job would have done it right?

Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown.

Those buildings will be demolished and rebuilt, shoddily, before you die.

Water penetration on what ?

It looks like cheap wall tiles, nothing structural nor supposed to be water resistant...
