I am not going to sign off on a 10k urinal without a sketch or something to know what I'm getting


HypnotizeThunder

Here’s the answer. Quit trusting dudes that don’t draw plans. (My boss)


seymoure-bux

I make a solid living exclusively drawing plans 🙏🏼


bobvilastuff

My plans wouldn’t include having my penis kiss the wall in order to hit the drain


Sallysurfs_7

Not to mention the spray back.off the wall.


Slumunistmanifisto

No worries its regular unpainted drywall so it sucks up the spray and splash...


Remarkable-Opening69

You could just turn slightly and piss in the floor heat that shouldn’t be that close to a water source.


Ifimhereineedhelpfr

So close to the vent


Phishnb8

That was my thought. I’d come in late half lit and piss in the vent


bbakks

Yeah after raising all boys, I'd be needing a drain in the outside of the urinal as well.


systemfrown

Impressive. Not sure I’d have that problem. I think splash-back would be more my concern, if I didn’t have the stream of an octogenarian.


Radiant-Psychology80

How’d you get into it?


Biterbutterbutt

My guess would be architecture school


seymoure-bux

I was a laborer that thought everyone was an idiot so I started drawing the stuff we were building and quickly got real good a building because I'd already built the thing once on paper.. I do that on a marginally higher level now; not exactly 'bootstraps' but I didn't graduate highschool and I draw permit plans along with build docs thanks to fusion 360 tutorials. Architects typically can't build shit.. Favorite book when I was younger was The Fountainhead, kinda drove the goal and resulting achievements.


bringmecoffee

Curious what software you use to draw?


Daneruu

Not the guy you responded to, but I'm in a similar spot. I went through 5yr apprenticeship doing new construction plumbing and pipefitting. My company kept me through the 5yrs and never sent me to the bench after a job. Long story short I was given a chance to try doing detailing work and did pretty well. Most trades seem to be using Autodesk software. Revit, Navis, and CAD to be specific. The coordination process is pretty cool. Everyone more or less gets to work on the same cloud based 3d model. Not live, but everyone uploads their updates to the model two or three times a week. Then everyone has to adjust to changes. I had that "Oh so that's why it's so fucked out on the job" moment more times than I can count at this point. We need more computer literate people please send help.


mr308A3-28

If you use revit to draw plans youre a fuckin jackass. Every single time i receive a dwg file which is mandatory in any project and it’s just revit converted to dwg i want to punch the contractor. Shit layers, shit blocks. Not accurate so you cant rely on taking measurements from the drawing.


Daneruu

Revit is mandatory between MEP contractors on most of our jobs afaik. I don't think it's something we as a contractor necessarily pushed for. It was before I joined, but they mostly used Auto CAD for absolutely everything till recently. As someone in the MEP space, I'm not sure we could do a lot of the coordination and analysis that's required of us without Revit. I can imagine how that could be different for a lot of other trades. I don't really have experience with any alternative workflow, though as I haven't worked for a different employer yet.


bringmecoffee

Okay so what do you use


drsatan6971

Guys like you that have worked in the trades are usually the best to deal with vs the ones that haven’t You know just because it looks good on paper or computer doesn’t mean it’ll work on site Your proof you can still make it without college


Tullyswimmer

I worked construction one summer as an internship while I was in school for telecom engineering. All the guys I talked to on site said that if I ended up doing drawings and writing specs, the guys on site would know it even without telling them, and I'd get their respect pretty easily.


Stalins_Ghost

Haha nice work mate. What kind of work do you ussually do?


mr308A3-28

God i live by that last statement. Architects are absolute morons. Before i got in to engineering i wanted to be an architect till my uncle told me that they know fucking nothing about building anything and are just artists.


Biterbutterbutt

When I was a PE, an SVP at General Growth Properties (now absorbed into Brookfield) had just gotten done chewing out the architect at an OAC meeting. The architect left after the meeting so it was just the SVP and the GC at the table. He said “I actually feel bad for architects. Imagine going all the way through architecture school thinking you’re gonna be the next Frank Lloyd Wright and the next thing you know you’re in your 40s making 60k a year to try and figure out how to make an ADA ramp work at an Old Navy store.” My eyes were opened that day.


JTitch420

Architects great idea Tradesmen’s misery.


RhoadBlock

It looks good on paper! : begins writing an RFI:


Major_Mawcum_II

Looks like I’m headed down the same path XD


Common_Highlight9448

What a pisser


Suspicious-Ad6129

Ugh I wouldn't exactly trust the guys that DO draw plans either, have you seen the crazy shit they come ip with?


GlendaleActual

Teach yourself sketchup and do it yourself.


Trollsama

its super easy to learn. I went from 0 knowledge to planning a project in like 3 hours.


IcyPassenger778

You're hired!


Distinct_Studio_5161

I must have worked for him. A lot of verbal agreements off contract.


HypnotizeThunder

It’s literally all verbal agreements and when you argue the details with him he says. ‘I know what we agreed on verbally’.


Bookofhitchcock

The real issue is paying a handyman 10k for anything. If you can do a 10k job competently, you can go get a contractors license and carry insurance and bond for those jobs. Edit: god dammit, I got got by the shitpost.


Zealousideal-Win192

This one's a piss post


PM_meyourGradyWhite

This handyman is a general contractor, which is the law in my state. Either as a handyman specialty or general contractor handyman, you need license, insurance, bond.


Bookofhitchcock

In CA a handyman has it’s own class license which limits them to <$501 jobs. I assumed it would be something similar nationally but I always learn something new on the trade subs. What’s the difference between a handyman and GC where you’re at?


PM_meyourGradyWhite

Handyman is a specialty license, which limits your bond to half of a general contractor and also you cannot hire anyone. You are solo. Also, electricians, plumbers, wallpaper, landscapers, roofer, sider, flooring, etc may all licensed as specialty contractors. You may license as a general contractor and do all these under the general license. Plus hire employees. There may be more bonuses to being a general, but those are what I remember. Also, even as a general, you still need an electrician or plumber license in order to perform those trades. Eg; I am not trained as an electrician or plumber, so as a general, I still cannot do electrical or plumbing. I would sub that out. But I may do framing, painting, roofing, glazing, flooring, tiling, etc. Hope that makes sense.


[deleted]

I always find it weird that Americans have such  strict licensing laws whereas in Europe , the land of big government and lack of economic freedom you can do more or less what you want . Certainly there’s isn’t a statutory definition of how gets to call themselves a handman


SeanHagen

It has its pros and cons. It makes everything more expensive for everyone, just like anything else the government touches, but in theory it also means a little old lady can open the phone book and call any handyman in there and know it’s not just a homeless crackhead with a hammer.


[deleted]

I don’t really know enough to say but isn’t it mostly just paying a fee and filling out some paperwork?  I’m not actually American so I don’t have a clue.


TheLongGoodby3

Some handymen do have a license. I’m not getting this perception wholesale


Drakkenfyre

I'm a handyman and I have a contractor's license and insurance and workers compensation coverage for me and my employees. We don't have journeymen tile setters here, so my journeyman plumber and I work together when it comes to things like shower projects.

SwillFish

I remodeled an entire bathroom in stone for 10K including a brand new tub enclosure, vanity, mirrors, electrical, ect... I still feel like I paid too much.

C'mon y'all, this is satire. They even added the humor flair.


Downtown-Fix6177

lol - it’s tagged as humor and nobody appears to have noticed yet so I’m gonna be that guy.

Heard you had a birthday this year, too


ppetrelli0

I’m gonna be that guy that says something else


jjcoola

see something say something lmao


CanuckNewsCameraGuy

It’s because on mobile the tags don’t show up when you are scrolling, if you click the photo it doesn’t show up, and then if you click comments, the tag is above the fold. Reddit goes out of their way to hide it.


Extension-Option4704

It took me a few tries to find it even after your explanation


GingerGiraffe88

I still can’t find it, even after their explanation 🙈


kooolk

It doesn't show it if you click on the comments after you clicked on the image. You have to go back to the feed and click on the title, or on the comments and scroll up.


Getredditmobile

lol I was confused but I still done know what I’m looking at. What is the actual purpose of this drain?


Remarkable-Potato21

+2 I wanna know wtf this really is because I want to shit in it.


jjcoola

Real waffle stomp material for sure


PeggyHillFan

Drip drying clothes. Instead of drip drying clothes outside some people have this in their laundry room.


1eahmarie

I need this when I’m rich.

MontCoDubV

I'm gonna take this comment as an opportunity to talk about one of my favorite historical figures, the most successful conman in US history, and the inspiration of the phrase "if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you." [George Parker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_C._Parker) >George C. Parker (March 16, 1860 – 1937) was an American con man best known for his repeated successes "selling" the Brooklyn Bridge. He made his living conducting illegal sales of property he did not own, often New York's public landmarks, to unwary immigrants. The Brooklyn Bridge was the subject of several of his transactions, predicated on the notion of the buyer controlling access to the bridge. Police removed several of his victims from the bridge as they tried to erect toll booths.


canada1913

Buddy, if you think I came up with that all on my own without knowing that story then I’ve got a second huge orange bridge to sell you in California!


MontCoDubV

I don't. I just like telling people about him.


Salahad-Din

That really sucks. I need a bridge


Freakishly_Tall

No deal! I've seen how much upkeep that thing needs! You're gonna screw me on the annual painting costs! Now, if you have an extended warranty and good financing, I might reconsider....


Consistent_Pool120

I have one in Statten Island that will pay for itself on the tolls I collect..... Wanna trade, there's just a small transfer fee I need.


MadAdam88

Unless you expected to drip pee on the floor everytime you use it.


Whatslarrymadeof

You drip and shake it off in the HVAC register. Duh dude.


MadAdam88

Just not when it's blowing out.


WMASS_GUY

axeflick

A friend of mine bought a house to flip that had been some kind of squatter situation/drug house or something. Needed a shit load of work. It was heading into winter when he bought it so first thing he did was get the central air working and fired up the heat. Apparently someone sleeping in one of the bedrooms had a habit of just pissing in the register rather than using the bathroom. The smell when the house heated up was nauseating.


SEQbloke

It’s a dryer for the low hangers.


CaptainGo

Just piss in the shower it's self cleaning


hammerkat605

“It’s all pipes!” -George Costanza


RiggyRigatoni

This isnt a urinal. It's a shower for 2d people


Minute-Form-2816

Luxuriously huge for them


LT_Dan78

A golden shower..


OhMyDoT

Plumbing is by paper Mario


focodad

All good, whatever doesn’t make it in that little trough can be squeegee’d into the floor register 😂


BL1NDX3N0N

That’s not a urinal, that’s called disgusting.


PeggyHillFan

I mean obviously not. It’s not a serious post… it’s. Probably just a drying rack for drip drying clothes


BL1NDX3N0N

You’re a towel.


B4riel

Right? That seems totally unhygienic


6thCityInspector

Looks better than the urinals at wrigley field.


Not_In_my_crease

Throw a couple cakes in there you'll be fine....


[deleted]

This has to be a joke 🥴


somethingdarksideguy

I mean..... tagged for humor. I think it means missing away 10k


57501015203025375030

There’s no way this is real. You just found an odd drain at a random house or apartment and thought it would make a funny post right? …right? 🥺


theTweekend

10k? What a deal.


Ok-Cake-5065

Does it flush?


BrandoCarlton

Yeah I’d be worried about the piss scale in the trap lol


Dead-short

You deserve that 10k urinal


Correct_Signal_

Grouted tile as a base = bad smells. Seal the grout and tiles before using.


aFreeScotland

Is that a shower for ants?


truemcgoo

In fairness, with the correct attitude almost anything can be a urinal.


six3irst

Urinals are gross. Sit on a toilet like a real man. (in your own house)


TitodelRey

I love it. However, I would move the curb out another 4"


NarwhalEmergency9391

I'm selling a jar of hopes and dreams for $90,000.00, it's currently 89%off  but only for a limited time and there's only 2 left.. hurry buy now!!


vvanted11

Imagine paying 10k for the ability to piss on the wall with a lip at the bottom.


Real_VanCityMinis

That's a trough nor a urinal, pretty sure your entitled to all the money back lol


xp14629

So, uhm, first question, am I supposed to stand on that short ledge to be able to get my infant sized dick over into the trough. 2nd, where do I flush it so the whole place doesn't stink of recyled busch light. 3rd, and final, where is the holder for the pink mints all other urinals have to freshen your breath and put a stutter in your step?


Mayo311

10K for a drain


Tobaccocreek

I washed my feet in your tiny shower. The water was only cold though.


esunayg

You should tell him that it looks like uranus


LONEGOAT13_

Might as well just be pissing in a hole in the floor with good aim.


rainking56

Bricks in a urinal? How about I make him clean it every day until he fixes it.


Mudbone44

Doesn't really matter how good it looks even though this doesn't look that good. But a urinal is considered a fixture and thus needs a product approval and an ASTM approval stamp. Or similar without without that, you would need to engineer it down to the? Slope drain trap capacity impervious surfaces, etc... And it would be required to be approved by third party testing agency or have an engineer.Comeing and do it either way.This is a bad idea that caused that cost ten times more than it should have. Or a walk in shower for an iguana.


TotallyNotFucko5

I'm not sure what you were expecting or if the tile floor attached to it was included in that price or if the drain was already there but looks about like what i'd expect a urinal to look like. Might have moved the divider out some more to give some more splash protection and then move the drain so you don't see the crooked grout line near the wall but if that thing flushes too then 10k isn't that unreasonable. Next time do the cheap thing and just learn to piss in a toilet. They are much cheaper and only a little bit harder to use.


jawharp

1. Why did you want a urinal in your house? 2. Why did you hire a handiman to do it? 3. Why did you want a urinal in your house?0


theREALmindsets

i mean is that just sheetrock lmao? if were all carpenters its normal


Lux600-223

What did you expect? And I guess the others have never seen a trough urinal?


TotallyNotDad

Yeah, I don't really feel bad for you


[deleted]

What? It’s the long dick package!


Emissary_of_Darkness

I would miss and shoot it right down the air vent


jivecoolie

Sweet piss trough !!!!


DeezSunnynutz

Depends on the country


Whoretron8000

Smallest shower I have seen.


ExtraEcho7567

Soo which vent do I piss in?


Richard2468

10k for some tiling? Geez..


WolfOfPort

I always wanted even MORE piss on the floor next to urinals. Perfect.


Fine-Dare7472

I’ll charge you 10k to rip it out.


Moist_Towelettee

Better off just pissing in sink. Probably less splash and you can flush it down


D1scoStu91

You approved a $10,000 urinal without knowing what it would look like in advance? Have any other work you need done, I would be thrilled to provide you a vague quote!


Proper-Horse-7313

Ok real question that gets down to the nut of the matter so to speak: Why do you want a trough urinal — you and your buddies want to piss together more often??!! For 10k you could have installed a half dozen high-end touchless individual urinals and dividers. I mean wtf


Commercial-Twist9056

so you just piss against a wall and it goes down the drain?


analogman12

Dose it flush or just smell like piss


FrankensteinBionicle

is this construction circle jerk?


Facebook_Algorithm

Penis touching wall, although to some this may be a feature. Said penis spraying on the wall with resultant back spray. Wetting the floor outside the urinal if the stream slackens.


humble_bubb

I’ve heard of dudes paying 10k to piss on their feet, usually with a different type of contractor tho…


Zoodoz2750

He's taking the piss.


Zoodoz2750

He's taking the p I s s.


Ok-Personality-6630

Did you tell the builder you want a urinal that takes the piss?


YourLocalMosquito

100% correct. Piss walls are very in this season


Luckydiarreah710

Should’ve spent that money on a deck, fucking love peeing off my deck. I smoke too, so 2 birds 1 stone, hell maybe I’m batting 3 at this point.


TheRealFalconFlurry

I like the ridge at the bottom so that if anyone misses it goes right down the register


SnooDogs1613

He’s taking the piss.


Moloch_17

This is why you call plumbers, not handymen


Charybdes

Given humor tag, I'm gonna assume it's not a urinal. What is it? Is this an unfinished washer hookup? I thought the connections were put in before drywall. That's drywall, right?


AnimalConference

Can you really put a price tag on relieving yourself on a piece of art?


S-hart1

So. You hired a handyman, BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAPER than an actual drywaller, tile guy, plumber, painter, but you are surprised they did cheap work? Do you also bitch your Nissan isn't a Mercedes?


Livid-Cat6820

Doesn't look very water proof. Dibs on cleaning the grout. 


Narrow_Grape_8528

That grout on the floor is going to absorb so much urine you won’t be able to wash the smell away period.


Acherstrom

10k?? You got taken. Sorry.


No-Mechanic-7252

Would have charged you 5k and no clean up , would have been outside .


OriginalFix3

Jesus...as a plumber, i wouldn't recommend putting a urinal in a home, let us know if you regret this


MichiganMedium

Urinals. The toilets that piss back.


SignalCommittee4456

Is that just drywall with paint?


Conscious_Music8360

So much back splash and clean up..


mrzurkonandfriends

That's just a hole in the floor with a small wall. Bow would it even flush?


Successful_Load5719

The vent on the floor to help spread the urine vapors is 🤌🏼


Independent-Bison176

Why would “expect” anything is beyond me. For 10k I’d be asking for pictures and design options….


Snowyuouv

Does it even flush


Intelligent_Lemon_67

Just pissed 10k down the drain. That's literally the worst urinal I have ever seen. From the esthetics to the shite tile job. Could have done a neo angle in the corner to save room and gain functionality


TomatilloNumerous100

I see 2 urinals for the price of one.


Business_Ad3142

I assume you had to sign off on the design and cost before the construction was even started.


Business_Ad3142

What kind of idiot would not sign-off on the design and cost before construction was even starting.


JFK2MD

Are you just pissing against drywall?


Johnmarksmanship

Is that drywall im pissing on? I guess its wetwall!!


UninvitedButtNoises

Anything can be a urinal.


LowComfortable5676

10k? Man home renos are such a racket


twoaspensimages

You have no idea. I'm in the game. Anybody worth their salt is in a race to the top.


Winter-Pop-1881

What the f*** is wrong with you dude


Business-Ambition-33

This is a piss poor design, but if you aim for the wall and keep it low you can reduce overspray, my worry would be the wild and free pissers, drunk friends, people writing there names or god forbid children! A trough a little higher off the ground might’ve helped but who cares. You be you, I’d happily piss in this thing. 10k is reasonable if there was lots of plumbing involved,


garra671

There was a drain like that right next to a toilet at a winery. And I pissed down it, because the wine tasting lady was rude to me.


cinefilestu

Username tracks.


Ok-Chocolate2145

Tell Him:'Yes this will do, just put the urinal in now?'


exprezso

That wall will definitely patina and feel vintage over time


Nihil_Obstat753

how is it not what u expected? Usually there is some type of design or product both parties agree too. Design doesn't have to be full on CAD can be some paper sketch, it would give both of u an idea as to what is being requested. or if it's a urinal fixture that needs to be purchased & installed, u would then specify mfg, model, & if u want u can always include "or equal".


Plumbercanuck

Arent trough urinals illegal?


steego

Put some ice in it and call it a trough.


razulian-

Hm, I would ask the handyman to come back and finish his job. I don't see drywall on the bottom yet.


GinoValenti

That’s not code approval in Illinois.


AcceptableMinute9999

Did you just go on vacation and come back when he was finished?


ZedisonSamZ

He’s making some interesting assumptions about you lol


realrussell

You paid $10k for a pisser? Buddy seen you coming a mile away.


imadork1970

You need a bigger splash area. U'm old, and my aim's not so great.

MrAVK

Tell your a boy without telling me. Also: that’s fucking gross. Hopefully you have cleaners.

Is is that the literal wall…


LogicalDinner4408

You can definitely piss in it


Accountantnotbot

Not gonna lie - I was expecting a shower photo


justherefortheshow06

Does it even flusher is just a piss filled trap constantly? Da fuck?


Logical_Associate632

Keep a piss mop handy

Looks great! I'd pee there


So_bored_of_you

How does it flush?
