At that point, just tear down the house and rebuild it, they clearly dont know how to build a square house in the first place

[@Itsthatdudej]

Delta Sly my brother installs tile flooring he was working at a house and the walls were shifted towards the left. This house has a few fuck ups so my brother was being blamed by the home owner that his tile was crooked and was installed wrong it wasn’t. It was the wall and he told the home owner that he wasn’t having it. So they contacted the builder and he believed my brother and sides with him the homeowner was not convinced so the builder brought a laser scanning machine to check if the tile was crooked. Mind you the lasers weren’t necessary it was so obvious that the tile was straight and that the wall was shifted to the left. This man was living in denial, he bought shit tile and his walls were shifted. I don’t remember the price but it was definitely under 3 dollars per square foot maybe even 1 dollar normally the tile ranges from 3 to 10 per square foot. So it kept chipping and cracking very easily and my brother had to replace it constantly. So now he has a 300k+ home that has a few flaws.

@@Itsthatdudej he may have been able to avoid that interaction by installing it "correctly" by squaring off the floor on the fuckered up wall to the other wall first. Customer may have never even noticed since the dipfuck didn't know his walls aren't square. They almost never are. I see new houses all the time. Probably 2-3 a month I'm working in. They try to make it square but it always ends up not.

[@ryanwilson5936]

The square is 90 degrees. Since there is wiggle room between the square and the two walls that create the corner, that means that the angle of the two walls is greater than 90 degrees. That’s more than what the square can measure. This matters because when cutting the boards to be installed at 45 degree angles, when installed, there will be a gap in-between them whey they are both against their respective walls. That’s no good. What is demonstrated in the video is finding that larger angle. The actual degree doesn’t matter because he’s measuring the cut line against the actual angle being read. With the two reference boards he draws a guide line on both where they meet to the corner of each board that is in the corner of the wall. The distance from the “board corner” to the “wall corner” is greater that a perfect 45 degree angle because the “board corner” is physically farther away then where the 45 degree “board corner” would be. So, when he makes the cuts on those new reference lines and puts them together in the corner, everything is flush and it looks like the wall has a perfect corner. Walls are rarely straight and corners are rarely perfectly 90 degrees. This video shows how a finish carpenter would work around an imperfect wall/corner. This method would also work for outside corners as well. Of course, a simpler way to find an angle would be to just use an inexpensive angle finder found at any construction store. Find your angle, say 86 degrees, and divide it by 2 which is 43. You’d then just cut a 43 degree angle on each board to create your corner. This video is essentially the same thing except he just made his own “angle finder” using two pieces of wood. I apologize if I confused you any farther.

Corner of wall meets were lines cross n thats your angle.then u mark your blocks.hope this makes sense.

But now the 90 degree cuts on the end of each board is going to be off.

@CantOutRunADuck Think about it. If they cut those corner boards more than 45 and don't adjust on the other end of each board but still cut them on 90s, then the next board cut on 90s they lay up to them ... there will be an angle gap exactly the same angle that was off in the corner.

Although, if you’re union, you probably have 25 guys on the job. 20 standing around and 5 working on the corner. So yea, you probably get 90 corners ( takes you 7 weeks and costs $300,00) But 90.
