I can pretty much guarantee it was one of the following things:

Poor quality connectors
Not punched down properly
Different standards on either end
Not punched down at all
Or a hidden splice somewhere

If you want to see some real quality craftsmanship check out nsbuilders on instagram:

This isn’t ultra high end but their work is very impressive. The amount of detail they put in to stuff you never see or things like back framing and drywall support, coffered ceilings, etc. is really fantastic and bordering on artisan work in some cases.

What’s so fucked up about like the buddy guy build is that fuck.. it’s not that hard to trick something into looking right whether it be an outlet being square or a backsplash, baseboard, etc. I’m nothing, I have skills I picked up along the way in finishing, framing, drywall, and general construction without ever doing any of them as a trade or any formal training and before I renovated my kitchen I had never done a kitchen before

And not to say I’m “better” than the buddy guy, but all my outlets are straight, my counter top has a beautiful bead of caulking around all my lights are perfectly square and aligned my baseboards and door casings are all perfect. And then you walk into a 2.5 million dollar new build in Burnaby and there’s drywall dust in every corner of the home and a plumbing clean out sticking out of the wall in your dining room

Like what the fuck
