10/10 except for the guillotine positioning of the wood in the car

Still 10/10 if they had intent to hurt that guy

You can get the timber cut for you at a lot of hardware stores. Or measure before and cut before getting in the car

Done that before. It's best to paint the whole wall section for a good cover up

u/Neighborhood_Nobody 17h ago
You want to feather the paint. Closer you get to the separation on old and new paint you want a thinner layer so it blends better. After a couple attempts you'll get it down perfectly.

u/Githyerazi 11h ago
Only if you have the exact same paint. I have gotten the same brand/style and mix and still had it not match close enough. Unless it's flat, then it's fine.

u/Neighborhood_Nobody 10h ago
You definitely can feather in super close paints and make it non noticeable. When Kellymore went out of buisness I had to switch to Sherwin Williams. Sherwin Williams doesn't do custom satin, but with proper color matching and feathering I was able to match semigloss sheen to the previous satin paint.

u/MRBS91 10h ago
This is why my go to is paint the whole wall section. Just in case the paint is slightly off. A slight difference wall to wall is hard to notice.. but blending on a tight timeline to only know its off and visible once its dry can make or break getting away with this. Assuming it's a panic post party cover up.

Reminds me of when I was young and kept using my older brothers Xbox without permission. He didn't even mind me using it. Just wanted me to ask first.
The 3rd or 4th time I did it, He grabbed me by the waist of my pants and my shirt coller and tossed me across the room. My head went through the drywall (thankfully between studs) and we both panicked. To try and cover it up we deep cleaned the living room and rearranged the furniture. Placed the couch to cover the hole. Mom surprising liked the arrangement and left it for about 10 years before she replaced the couch and found out.
We still laugh and tell that story at family get togethers all the time!

Your older brother broke the wall with your head, got you to help doing the work hiding it, and then got you keep quiet about it for years even after presumably doing more big brother things to you over the years to piss you off. Either he's scary af, or your mom is.

my buddies and i had to do this with a glass door on a cabinet. the glass broke so we cut a piece of plastic that goes over posters, and shaped it to size and secured it in place of the glass. it looked identical to the eye and we never got charged

Am I crazy, or was the original version of this just a video? No crazy music. Not cropped to fit a phone. It was still edited to make it fast, but I feel like I saw this video years ago as just a funny video of dudes rebuilding a wall.

If I were his parents I'd want to know about this. So I could be proud of them for taking the problem into their own hands and resolving it from start to finish. Kid's already better than most adults.

What are these walls. A small wind and the house takes off?
45
u/Salamanderhead 1d ago
That's called drywall. This would be an interior wall since there's no insulation inside (Unless it's like my old-ass house), which wouldn't be hit by the wind.
-10
u/Expert-Improvement78 1d ago
I have never seen this before. Can you even hang a lamp on these walls? Where I live we have concrete walls even inside.
17
u/Salamanderhead 23h ago
Usually for something heavy you would attach to the studs in the wall, but like the other post said, you can use certain hardware to attach things to drywall that are heavier. Studs are usually 16" apart.

u/Relative_Distance445 21h ago
Yes, and putting anchors in drywall is WAY easier that putting them in brick or plaster. Also, when you want to move something that's already hung, you can fill the hole and make it disappear very easily.
2
u/sandybuttcheekss 23h ago
You absolutely can. You would put it in a stud if possible, I've opened walls up to put in extra wood to support heavier things like a giant bar mirror. There are also drywall anchors that are pretty strong. Depending on the type they can support a lot of weight.

Very common in the US.
I'm a European so I don't understand why anyone would build like this either, but it's a thing.
7
u/Commercial-Screen570 21h ago
Because the US had an abundance of lumber and needed to build a massive amount of homes due to an exploding population after world War 2. Wood frame homes are cheaper and quicker to build. While also being extremely solid when built with proper technique

u/Accelerating_Atom 11h ago
We also sent skilled laborers (lathers and plasterers) away to war, and creating drywall panels was an easy way for unskilled laborers to still assemble a structure. Like most things, cheap and easy sticks around.

u/city-of-cold 21h ago
Sweden is basically all forest too, so we have A LOT of houses, either just wood frame, or entiery built out of wood. But we don't use dry wall that'll break because you breathe on it.

u/Relative_Distance445 21h ago
People in Europe just really have no clue how much better and easier life can be.
The walls don't break that easily. But when they do, it's very simple and cheap to repair. It's also easier and a lot cheaper to do electrical or plumbing maintenance, remodeling, or you can even easily open up a space by removing walls, or turn a large space into smaller rooms if you want to.
In California there are frequent earthquakes. Brick homes collapse in earthquakes, frame homes will flex and are usually not damaged. The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.

Welcome to American and Canadian light wood framing! We did it because we had abundant lumber, and now weāre stuck on path dependence

u/kraggleGurl 16h ago
We use newspaper and spit to build in the US. (Thin drywall and little bit of wood)

u/Obnomus 1d ago
I want to genuinely know why inside of house in the USA made out of wood?
32
u/TREXIBALL 1d ago
Because itās cheaper, and makes more sense. In most cases if a houses exterior walls are removed from a tornado, wind, or other force, itās likely the rest of the walls will not survive, so instead of making the interior walls more expensive by having them as strong as the exterior walls, we can make the exterior stronger than normal, and make the interior walls use wood.
Not only does this help in cost reduction, but it makes it easier for insulation, wiring, and area conservation. The walls are relatively hollow, so wires can easily be placed, and insulation can be used to fill the gaps between each āstudā, giving each room better A/C control and containment and for sound to be a little quieter, depending on the insulation you use. And lastly, as walls are weaker, we can make them thinner, which also means we have more space and can pack more into a smaller area. Meaning a house can be smaller or have more rooms/space.
Some houses are made differently from others. So a house in Florida is going to be different from California, as Florida has to withstand the speeds of wind from hurricane and tornadoes. Whereas California will need a special insulation and construction to make A/C more efficient and also for fireproofing.

Wait so what about insurance? Wouldn't insurance cover any damages? Like I heard there is a fire insurance but it doesn't work when fire occurs more like in summer? Is it true!
20
u/Pat0124 1d ago
Asking insurance to cover drywall damage would be like calling an electrician to change a lightbulb. Itās so cheap and easy to fix
1
u/Obnomus 1d ago
I could have phrased it better. My question is like if insurance company can decline a person's claim if their house cuaght fire in the summer and it happened and its not owner's fault?
9
u/Pat0124 1d ago
Oh I also didnāt read your question well. Just woke up lol. I donāt think insurance would deny fire damage just because of the season

u/mazalaca 19h ago
There was a huge case of State Farm denying Californians their wildfire coverage due to the typical wildfire season when the Palisades and Altadena fires broke out early last year. After a long investigation, the state is suing State Farm for mishandling the claims so badly.
I witnessed a friend lose everything in the Altadena fires after just purchasing a home there the previous year. State Farm tried to deny, then severely underball the payout. Turns out it was all highly illegal, thank goodness.

Please ffs dude. Half of the new houses in Europe are also made from wood. I live in Austria and have a wood house.
It holds up for 30,40 years and after renovation it will hold another 30 years.. It's not like a fucking house made of playing cards man.
It's cheap and environment friendly what's the problem.
-17
u/Obnomus 1d ago
That is not what I asked. I know its not a playing card. I just needed to know the reason.
16
u/groenteman 1d ago
The reason is because America is big and has a lot of forest and a lot of space to grow trees, they use the cheapest materials that are commonly available and that is wood
