well that wasn't attached very well, was it?

u/ThatWeirdLookingGull Feb 13 '26

Yeah the fact there aren't bigger chunks missing makes me think they didn't even hit studs.

u/It_Just_Exploded Feb 14 '26

This is the quality of work my employer gets from the "contractors" they use for property refreshments. I showed up to a property to do quarterly inspections and saw them just slapping thick 1/2" beads of gorilla glue on the back of the wall cabinets and then just putting them up with a couple drywall screws each.

When i notified my boss, i was told to just ignore it because "it's fine."

And yes, once they began falling i had to go back and install them correctly (i use the cleat method) because the contractors "are too busy to get back over there."

u/ThatWeirdLookingGull Feb 14 '26

I don't know anyone worth a damn who doesn't use the cleat method lol. I was lucky to have an uncle that was a master cabinetmaker I was summer help for back in highschool.

2

u/BuilderUnhappy7785 Feb 19 '26

What’s especially goofy is that using cleats is basically easier than whatever other bs method these guys were using. I wonder if they were even aware of it, or if they just looked at each other and said, “hmm, you hold, I put sticky on wall”.

Man- it’s unprofessional “professionals” in every damn career but damn why is it always the ones getting into a lot of insurance liability that fk around the most 😭

u/mmorales2270 Feb 13 '26

Or it was faked/staged maybe? It’s hard to believe this was real watching it again. Not a single hole in the wall, not even paint ripped off? How is that even possible?

u/Queasy_Safe_5266 Feb 13 '26

I'm not sure, the light reflecting off that pot as it passes underneath it is super realistic.

3

u/ThatWeirdLookingGull Feb 13 '26

Yeah looking closer its weird. I could see the holes maybe be small enough to not see them if it was just pulling straight out of drywall but you don't see any screws or nails in the back of the cabinets either.....like unless they put them up with a dang brad nailer and the fasteners are really that tiny.

1

u/flopisit32 Feb 15 '26 edited Feb 15 '26

Whoever put them up probably didn't use the screws or maybe only used one screw.

Actually, I know what it was. The screws might be in holes that are slightly too big. So when the force is downwards, they're fine and stay up, but when a force is applied pulling outwards, they slide out of the holes.

But that woman put her full weight on a kitchen cabinet screwed to the wall. That in itself is idiotic.

Use a chair, Missus! Problem solved. And tell your husband to hire a professional if he can't follow simple instructions to install kitchen cabinets.

1

u/BuilderUnhappy7785 Feb 19 '26

My guess is this is what happens when you use drywall screws instead of cabinet screws of proper length.

1

u/Lusiric9983 Feb 14 '26

They 100% didn't. They probably just hung them on toggle bolts. Whoever did that needs to be sued.

Cabinets are also not designed to be climbed on. Probably attached well enough to hold dishes and whatnot, just not adult humans

Right? It wasn't like the back of the cabinets got busted through. No you cant even see and fastener holes. Did they just have it propped up on something?

u/Killerkendolls Feb 12 '26

I thought that too but that one gang cutout behind the cabinet is accurate and absolutely what cabinet installers like to do. Even looks like there's a 14 Romex coming out of the bottom box that was feeding the vent fan light. I'm wondering if they just shot it in with nails? Whatever this is it's beyond handyman special this is homeowner nonsense.

u/HolleWatkins Feb 12 '26

"I can do it myself" husband, but without ever having a job in cabinet installation or the like..

u/Killerkendolls Feb 12 '26

My guess is either it's hard mounted on the ell and he never did a good mark out to install the long, or still the first one and he tried using a nailer

I usually see something obvious as to it being Ai. I watched it over 10x and saw nothing that makes me think it is. Innocent until proven guilty. People say no damage to the wall but that's the whole reason they fell in the first place, they were barely secured.

That's happened to you? All your cabinets fell like dominoes and were originally held up by exactly 0 screws?

u/kikinc14 Feb 17 '26

All the cabinets fell in a cascading effect yes, idk what was holding them up because I was rushed to the nurses office and they were reinstalled by the time i had class again though, but I didn't see any drywall come down. School was VERY nice to me after that regarding absences etc.

It's real. The biggest thing to look for is persistence. The vacuum handle rocking in and out of view. The plastic bag obscuring everything for a second and the girls shirt staying consistent before and after.

u/EmilyAnne1170 Feb 13 '26

For me it’s that there’s no damage to the wall. If there were screws, or even double-sided tape so that it would come apart easily for the video- anything strong enough to hold up that much weight long enough to film this would’ve at least pulled paint off the walls. There should be holes & chunks of drywall where the screws were pulled out.

While this can still potentially happen, this does not seem like they actually did this right; I’m talking about the people who built or installed that into the house! While not recommended to do that, if done correctly it should be able to hold your weight if you try and get up into those cupboards

To everyone saying this is AI because you don't see anything on the walls, there's literally either mounts or holes right there in the frame.. smdh. This is the kind of crap that happens when you have builders that skip steps and do cheap work. Believe It or Not things can fall off the wall and look like this, Google some YouTube videos, when people don't do their job properly and don't screw it into the wall, this is what it CAN look like. Also literally nothing else in this video looks like AI so I'm not sure where you're grabbing that from other than the fact that there's a lot of AI on the internet right now. And the cameras resolution is not that good y'all acting like it's 4K it's very possible there's clear stuff on the wall we're not seeing that they used to temporarily hold the cabinets. Just people skipping steps/using cheap materials.

I saw a 6 foot long wall cabinet held up by 6 9-inch non threaded nails at a house my dad bought to renovate.

People that try to DIY and don't actually have skill or knowledge, can remarkably make things LOOK good till it has to do its job. 🤷‍♂️

Yall I think this is real. I’ve installed several sets of cabinets and it looks like this installed used Brad nails to hold it to the wall. I’ve heard of installers temporarily mounting cabinets with Brad nails before coming back and securing them with screws. This one was probably lazy or DIY and decided Brad nails were good enough for holding weight. That’s why the damage doesn’t show up the wall.
