https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/sechelt-seawatch-sinkhole-evacuation-1.5018726 A sinkhole that opened up on Christmas Day leads to the permanent evacuation of a neighbourhood. I’m really curious to hear more about why they had to evacuate so quickly. Residents weren’t even allowed to drive vehicles up to their houses to move their stuff out. It must be like Swiss cheese under there.

Regardless of pot fillers, when I fully remodel my kitchen, laundry rooms and bathrooms, they are all getting a floor drain. Same for fire sprinklers.

binhex posted:It must be like Swiss cheese under there. Well, sinkholes, wet spots, and springs started showing as the land was under development in 2008 a sinkhole formed in 2012. another one in 2015. another one in 2015 that forced a family to evacuate. Then they had to close a road because it started sagging too badly. another one in 2017 forcing them to close an even larger section of road (from 2015) another one in September 2018. Then the Boxing Day sinkhole, forcing everybody to evacuate. There may have been more but I think that's enough to demonstrate that, yes, it's Swiss cheese under there.

A square one-piece toilet/sink combo, now I've seen everything. With that tap and the white towels on the floor, I assume this is a hotel of some sort? i was going to guess Germany, but there's no poo poo-shelf. France? Carrefour is a French brand, I believe.

Was ceder ever super cheap at some point? The back of my house is all ceder shingles while the other three sides are some kind of siding and I can't figure out why.

JoshGuitar posted:I use it for both though. The aerator does give you nicer pressure/feel for washing your hands, so I guess a high flow aerator would be the better choice. I put a disabled handle on my kitchen flick-mixer so it's easier to only open it 10% for washing your hands.

B-Nasty posted:What do you do if (when) the pot filler fixture starts leaking? Rip out the entire backspash and the wall to replace it is my guess. Usually there's no joins in the wall, so almost no chance of leaks. If the fixture itself starts leaking, you turn off the mains and unscrew it from the thread jutting out of the wall much like a showerhead.

Yeah, I've since looked up the correct way of installing them, and you're supposed to do a threaded stub out, so the entire fixture can be unscrewed and replaced with the main water turned off.

Valves also come apart and have replacement parts. It's not always tear apart your walls when a fixture starts to drip.

You replace one of both valves/seats, like with any other faucet (except these have two). If the entire thing is bad you remove it from the wall (it's screwed on) and replace it.

They still make pencil casings out of cedar so I guess it's probably not that expensive.

Jerry Cotton posted:They still make pencil casings out of cedar so I guess it's probably not that expensive. It's not that expensive and something like shingles doesn't require premium cedar. I got my fence rebuilt and opted for cedar fence planks over pine. It's more expensive up front but it's nicer than the lovely pine ones and they'll last longer.

Close the drat lid when you're not making GBS threads or pissing on the toilet and things won't suddenly fall into it.

Do you not have to run these pot fillers a little bit before use, like you would a normal faucet?

Liquid Communism posted:'Yeah, I am definitely going to reach over the flaming pan to turn on this pot filler if a grease fire happens' - a very smart individual I can understand it could have a use in an industrial kitchen, perhaps in a country with incredibly lax occupational health and safety laws, but mostly it seems like one of those stupid dangerous things which have made their way to the modern world hiding behind the veil of 'tradition'. Yes, you have to turn two taps for water and you're supposed to turn the wall one on first, then the one at the end of the arm. So, what if the last person who used it just turned it off at the wall? Instantly water everywhere all over the stove. Or someone is filling their huge pot, gets distracted by kids or the phone or whatever and now the pot's overflowing on the stove. One of these would be worlds safer because you have to stand there holding it for water to come out:  Sure, people would still find a way to jam it open, but at least then they would have to actively try to kill themselves rather than accidentally.

Open flames on gas stoves seem more dangerous so if you're going to die on a hill, I'd go over there first.
