Randle said, “This builder’s trying to kill me. They planted a black widow right where I would stick my finger. Unbelievable.”

He showed viewers different problems with the house, including a wonky door handle and a puddle of water next to an air conditioning unit.

Randle said, “Well, the drainage could be better. But this is pretty typical when you smash these houses right next to each other. Water doesn’t really have anywhere to go.”

He showed viewers some stone above the front door and said, “This lintel should be sealed better. It’s gonna rust, swell, and start cracking the mortar joints.”

Randle also took issue with door hinges, the painting job done to the house, and cracks in walls.

The video caption reads, “Q U A L I T Y.”
