Is this laugh-or-we’ll-cry-territory? OhIthinkso. Another half-day at this popcorn nonsense, then a weekend’s wading in self-levelling compound. Got wellies?

As for captions… my mum calls dibs on “Swallowed up the previous tenants?” and my own submission is the lame-tacular “It’s San Andreas’s fault”. Heh! Do your worst.

Hey, you want a s'more? Some more of what?

  1. Holding back the ugly

    • Sorry… should explain that the picture looks to me like something trying to erupt out of the floor… and it must be truly ugly with a surface like that. So seal it back up quick!

  2. Is this the MMUB version of Humpty Dumpty?

  3. LIsten, I just want to say you are one brave couple for having walked on that disgusting carpet for the past three months!!!

    I mean, come on, we’re Canadian. We take our shoes off, pretty much no matter what. I literally almost cringe if someone says “No, leave them on”. I can’t do it. And I don’t know if I could walk on that carpet without them!!!!

    I bet those cracks make you feel safe…what floor are you on again?! You do know about that BIG fault under your seaboard just waiting to snap and take you for an ocean voyage…. (okay okay, so they say Vancouver will never really break off from the rest of Canada and sink away…technicalities screwing up my shock value..sigh)

    Get scraping and get that laminate on! And then do a Tom Cruise slide across in your socks! And record it, and post it, and amuse us damn it.

    • I have never, ever, ever touched that carpet with bare skin. Not even once. Girl’s gotta have standards….

      Re. the “big fault” – I think we can stop worrying… it looks like it’s already happened!

      No comment on plans for Risky Business….

  4. Eww, I don’t even want to think what lies beneath there!

  5. Give me a moment….. I can’t get over the horror of what I saw.

    1. When the foam started flowing through the house, Little Johnny knew he had added too much vinegar into the volcano he made for this years science fair. With results like these, surely he’ll win!

    2. Margaret watched in horror as Mary swept the crumbs under the rug. “For later” she said.

    3. I’ve got nothing…. is that mold??

    4. And now we have a close-up of some structural damage from the Christchurch earthquake.

    Ok….. these aren’t the best.

    • Hey Jono, are you a real live Kiwi? Some more Commonwealth diversity in the mix?

      I like all submissions but #2 … my absolute favourite. I’ll be laughing ’til Friday. (#3′s not mould, it’s disgusting 40-year old carpet underlay that’s dissolved into dust-like particles. Utterly foul).

  6. those cracks look vaguely familiar. Oh wait, that’s because we are living the same life but in different cities.
