Soo, now that you have an idea of what a hack does what is your opinion of them?
To me a hack is all of the above plus someone who gets in over their head and instead of being honest and saying that they are just keep plugging away instead of asking for help. IE, my current job the HO hired a "plumber". He was in way over his head with rain shower heads (he had never installed one) and kept trying to tell me that the plastic cover can stick out up to an inch past the finish wall. Now this guy may have used to have been a plumber but things are much different now. especially when a carpenter has to tell him to loop his pipes for the rain shower and to get his mixer valve to only stick out 5/8 from the framing.
I am not even close to being a plumber I just know what I have observed over the years.
ive heard a lot about hacks on this site so im curious to know what type of stuff a hack does and what your opinion of them is.
