Also hard walls and hard floors would be about the worst possible scenario for anywhere you'd want a projector. Echoes make for terrible tv/movie watching.

Wide open floor plans are nice, but really hard to heat, especially bathrooms, and most especially when the entire structure is brick and filthy concrete. Add in a garage door in the living area and that has to be frigid as all get out this time of year. The owner's house is totally a party pad. There's a huge breakfast bar, huge alcohol-type bar, giant table, and itty bitty comfy seating area. And porsche.

That way, even if you did forget to keep the heat on and the pipes burst, there won't be a frozen waterfall somewhere and you stand a better chance of finding your new leak as soon as it happens.

Well, turn it off and drain your pipes down. Plus RV antifreeze in your toilet bowls and tanks. Elsewise, have fun locating the sixteen pipe freeze ruptures randomly sprinkled about your castle. I have seen waaay too much of this over the past 35-years.

mshade posted:Surprisingly that baby seal chair is the least creepy of the collection:  These probably count as crappy construction. If the chairs get used on a regular basis the animals on the seat are going to flattened and gross looking within a few months. You could delay flattening by filling the heads with firm high density foam, but that would make the chairs too bumpy and uncomfortable to sit in. Form over function to the point of being unusable.

Elsewise, have fun locating the sixteen pipe freeze ruptures randomly sprinkled about your castle. I'm sure I'm probably Doing It Wrong, but when going on a long vacation, I've always done the following: 1. Turn off the water at the main water cutoff from the street. That kills all water coming into the apt/house. 2. Turn on all the faucets to drain or allow for expansion if the water is getting close to freezing for some insane reason. 3. Turn off the breaker for the hot water heater, so if it somehow drains down too low, it doesn't burn up or fry itself. 4. Set all my thermostats to "Vacation" mode, which I've set to 10C/50F. Alternately, set them to 5C/40F if you want. 5. Freeze a glass of water and then put it in the freezer with a coin on top of it, so you know whether your power went out for long enough to spoil food. This has done okay for me so far, but YMMV, and there might be some fatal flaw to my plan that I'm not noticing.

Going away for a couple weeks shouldn't cause the level in your water heater to drop. There is also a 'vacation' setting on most water heaters to avoid creating a science project inside. Were I totally anal and free with my money, I would consider investing in the sensor system that automatically cuts off your water when there's a leak. It's possble to set them for individual runs, I believe, so the whole house doesn't just cut off while you're in the shower.

I'd heard of leaving loose ice cubes out in your freezer, then checking to see if they were still intact, but the coin trick is quite a good one! If any water refreezes over the top of it, you know something went wrong.

I noticed some similar techniques as seen in an infamous bathroom remodeling thread. $10k on labor for that bathroom and they installed basically every tile they could crooked? Let's see, he missed the PVC cap on the ABS drain for the old sink line. You need a special glue for that, and judging by the contractor resorting to using a sharkbite, they didn't use it. That being said, most of the tile poo poo he was talking about wasn't that there was anything "wrong" per se, but rather the contractor just did a really lovely job for the price. Also, if I spoke with my contractor about my concerns during a job like he recommended, but hired a guy like this to do it, he'd tell me to gently caress off, he knows what he's doing. kid sinister fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Jan 10, 2018 |

On that bathroom, the tiling is done so badly that id expect cracked tiles and leaks everywhere. The video didnt say much if anything about electrical problems, but i would bet there is a ton of those too, what are the chances someone makes/allows such awful plumbing and tiling issues would do good on the electrical?
