Why has construction gotten so shit over the past 20 years? Ever since the start of McMansions, it's gotten worse.
What would you do if you were this young rocket scientist in this situation?

Might want to start by not flooding your house to clean the floor.

This is what happens when everything is made out of sawdust. Soak it up, bloat, and warp. Even humidity destroys this trash.

our economy is dysfunctional. anything that can't be outsourced to third world countries is unaffordable. even if you cope with insourcing illegals, it's still unaffordable.

all unaffordable.

For decades industry has been compressing sawdust into building products and importing cheap labor to install it.

Putting aside that purposefully dumping water on your home's floor to mop it is not the correct way to mop (makes me wonder how he rinsed), I'm curious about the cracks in the field of the tiles rather than at the mortar joints (like at 33 seconds in) -- shouldn't the mortar be the first thing to go?

This is a Mexican tiktok trend, women posting videos in houses build on stone and drainages with tiled floors.
Burger women see it on social media, copy it in meme wooden houses and get mold and ruined floors.
Bravo.

Sit down OP... let me tell you a story.
Here in England, I live in a house that parts of which are we think older than your country. Those were the bits built of (i shit you not) stone and 'cobb'. What is that? It's basically mud, straw cow shit and whatever else they had to hand - maybe the odd labourer too. My walls are about a meter thick and super, duper insulated. That part of the house is SOLID.Another part of the house was built in we think somewhere between the first and second world war. It was terrible. We're talking rotting wood from floor to waist height. A total write off. Multiple attempts had been made to stop rising damp over the last 30 years and all had been bodged.Then, there's the 80s extension. That was worse. Collapsed drain, so collapsed floor. Built over a fucking well. No drainage outside. Leaks down the walls.My point is, its not the last 20 years. It's been a steady decline for hundreds. We spent something like 100k on renovations, just to make it habitable.But also... dont be a retard, that's not how you mop.

>uses the shittiest materials

>isn't aware of which materials bear which conditionsThat's retarded and I'm not defending anyone here, what did the retard "testing" thought was going to happen when fully wetting cardboard with vinyl?Those "tiles" are literally compressed cardboard with a fucking thin sheet of PVC on top, with sides that are not waterproof.
The joints are letting the liquid pass and it's all a shitfest from there.Use better materials and do not hire Eduardo the contractor the next time.

why the fuck do they flood the floor first? is that common in land of the freetards?

Anon12/21/25, 10:12No.2966119
meanwhile, vinyl is the material of choice for landlords because a single retard with a swiffer and 10 minutes of free time once a month can clean it with ease, if ever damaged it is easy to replace in sections, and is dirt cheap despite being pretty tough.literally all you have to do is not dump a bucket of water in it

Marble floor. Or tiles if you're a poorfag.

Having worked in the US, everything is about speed. The faster you do something the better. It doesn’t matter if you’ve done it badly or you have to go and do it again, doing it quick is the only thing that people care aboutThis becomes a race to the bottom. There are exceptions to this and there are quality jobs done in the US but they’re few and far between and you need serious money to access it. For the other 98 percent of jobs, just rush it and slap it up

I’m convinced this was someone doing a renovation that was about to pull up the floors, and decided to do this beforehand to farm subscribers or something.

Cost of materials, especially anything wood.
