I went for super stud.
Look at this fat cat that thinks the board that extends it past the wall is free. Another foot of pipe to mount it differently wouldn't cost any more than that artisan reclaimed plank. The bar could have done a U-tern and been mounted to wall just around the corned.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

These guys are way behind the times, open plan bathrooms are the cutting edge of urban design.

First we wanted open kitchens without cabinets to hide our pots and pans. Now it's bathrooms without doors to hide our plumbing.

It looks like there's another door frame immediately to the left so it couldn't slide that way. But :sparkles: barn door :sparkles:!!!

I feel like I've stayed in this hotel. Note that there is a shade, however, it can only be controlled from the outside.
Thankfully, I was alone.

Getting the bed, shower, and toilet in a direct line is some pretty pro-tier planning, wherever people go you can maintain uncomfortable surveillance.

Y'all laugh but we had wall bees for a little while. The bathroom spiders would occasionally snag one and eat like kings.

The hippies that removed the bees let us keep some of the wall honey. I did not try any.

The bees got in due to the crappy construction of the "breakfast nook" that previous owners had bolted on to the side of the house. It is a room with no right angles, which made installing cabinets a real joy, and its walls were apparently open to bees.

The previous owners must have redone the kitchen themselves; the pipes under that part of the house are a nightmare, and it's a minor miracle the wiring neither burnt down the house nor electrocuted anyone. The fume hood, for instance, was one good bump/earthquake away from going hot.

"WE DON'T CALL 911. Have a nice day!"

That sign was photographed as evidence somewhere if the prosecutor was halfway competent.

Is that defence against some kind of door to door scam? Is it a sign of a bad neighbourhood or bad owners?

I read it as "Don't call the cops or anything like the cops ever, we're running a grow op/meth lab/combination grow op and meth lab."

It’s a bathroom door.

I'm the discreet nurses' station 911 call when the lady with the broken eye socket tries to explain that she just walked into the bathroom door.

It looks nearly identical to a place I stayed in Singapore.

That sign is typically found next to a "Protected by Smith & Wesson" one.

Bingo. The complete intended message is "if you are trespassing we will shoot you to death instead of calling 911."

I assume it is so their kids dont call 911 when the parents OD, and ruin their high with narcam / throw them in prison.

Friend of mine told me about the time he helped his buddy fix a garden shed. His buddy is extremely Eastern European and prides himself in improvisation talent and making to with what's available. He therefore refused to go to the store for anything at all. Need some nails, just pull some out of the existing structure. There's redundancy, right?

Highlight came when my friend saw the guy's stack of salvaged materials.
"poo poo, dude, that's not asbestos over there, right?"
"No no, don't worry. Is fiberglass plates."
"Alright, good."
"Asbestos I have over there."
