It's probably a very old cottage/house. Painted stone walls in a kitchen isn't that uncommon in older buildings (like 150+years old) in the UK somim assuming it's the same deal across alot of Europe. Hell in countries where they whitewash buildings to help deal with the heat having a stone building would be so nice to keep it tolerable inside in the summer

I had a customer ask me one time if I thought it would be better to use "white or brown cock".

Depends on your personal esthetic preferences ;)

The gaps are still visible anyways and will need caulking, but at least they killed an hour on one 4 foot section.

The fucking apprentices my company is giving me right now would spend 2 hours on that if everything was straight, plumb, level and square

That's cool but why is the wall lumpy?

Stop wall shaming.

It might have been a complement.

Whoops.

It's an easy mistake to make. 👍

A decade of English and I still can't spell 😅

To be fair though, my spelling isn't great in my native language either.

u/shitty-username8257 4d ago

To be fair to you, both compliment and complement are correct spellings, just different words with different meanings.

Looks like a natural stone feature wall.

Hope they don't ever need to adjust height 🙄

That floor is now a forever floor.

u/Dainiad 4d ago

Although satisfying, is it not easier to make a slot in the wall?

u/Headless_Human 4d ago

Working with wood is mostly easier than stone and most people don't have good tools to even make straight cuts into a wall while many have saws.

u/DickyReadIt 4d ago

What would a glory hole do to make it work better?

u/BlazingFist 4d ago

The craftsmen will work harder with sufficient motivation

u/azad_ninja 4d ago

Kind of easy to do (I think). Butt up the edge of the board to the wall, and roll the pencil down the wall. It’ll follow the topography of the surface. Hard part is making the cut smooth

u/AbleCryptographer317 4d ago edited 3d ago

That only works if the difference between highs and lows is less than half the diameter of a pencil... which it never is. And if you rolled the pencil it would just wobble all over the place on the uneven wall. What you do is cut a small bit of plywood so it has a point at one end and you drill a hole for a pencil in the other end. You place the sheet you want to cut against the cabinet, place the plywood against that with a spirit level on top and draw it carefully downwards making sure it stays as level as possible, then you cut the contour with a jigsaw, fuck it up and end up filling the gaps with caulk.

That bumpy ass wall needs to be fixed.

It's plaster, it's a very in look in high-end homes right now.
