Sorry for the insta link but needed to be done.

OMG.

I would have divorced her instantly! That has to be one of the teeth itchiest things I have ever seen and I work in housebuilding!

And the rest. It's bad enough that Lady BMcH doesn't sort the teaspoons into the two different sorts we have. What Beeny does there is a cutlery war crime.

You had one job!

Likely painted correctly but reassembled incorrectly after maintenance. We have escalators at work and I've seen the steps removed for cleaning.

You know, I would never have thought of that, thank you!

Absolutely. Philistine of the first order.

One for the teaspoon thread really but it's probably the best thing to do with any Krupp 242(b) although I would have used the bin rather than the drawer.

Years ago there was the odd peanut smuggling shot, but at least I've learned a new life hack......Not!

And clearly doesn't separate spoons and forks, judging by your username!

A spork, earlier.

I am not a spork. I'm just a bit spork-y.

So round but with a few sticky-outy prongy bits to make you a little more useful.

Is that wide enough to even get a mini in?

I think there's a general convention that a manhole like this will run in the direction of the pipes, with the pipes on the short edges of the aperture. That doesn't explain why they put the block paving on the tops, nor why they couldn't run the pipes along the driveway rather than diagonally across it. The latter would probably have added a tenner to the build cost.

They could have cut the blocks to align with the rest of the drive. Just because the manholes are at angles doesn't mean the blocks have to be.

There will be a man who puts bricks in man hole covers, then other men who lay the drive. The 2 shall never meet nor communicate in anyway.

Then the man to lower the man hole covers into the hole comes along and puts it in, looks bewildered but it wasn’t his job, mate.

Source: recently bought and sold (thankfully) a new build.

Looks like the garage door would snag on the house wall.

And why build a garage that only fits a motorcycle or a car not made for 60 years? Because it's cheaper and we're supposed to be championing car-free lifestyles. And anyway, British houses have limited storage and no basement, so nobody in their right mind would want to put their leased SquashQuow in the garage even if it could fit!

Garage added on afterwards?

The external pipes and guttering on both buildings all point to Cheap Charlie.
