Leperflesh posted:do it!   This unexpectedly filthy and out-of-focus countertop is supposedly "black granite." I'm not sure if you can even tell what the hell it is between the flash, the lack of focus and the smudging.  These "rock" countertops are from one of our shadiest suppliers, so I wonder how honest they're being on this: E: Granite F: Granite G: Artificial H: Artificial I: Quartz J: Quartz K: Quartz L: Artificial M: Granite N: Marble O: Granite P: Marble Q: Missing R: Marble S: Granite T: Marble

slurry_curry posted:Apparently my new kitchen will kill me and my dishes will be constantly coated in grease. We have 30mm thick granite (black, pretty high density, around 3000kg/m3) with 28cm overhang and no supports. Several kitchen designers and installers were completely unconcerned with going to 30cm before adding supports. So far, so good.

This countertop is made out of a greasy potato, apparently it could be anything, I can't see it for poo poo sorry lol quote:
E: probably the same stuff we've been discussing, e.g. gabbro. Maybe. F: Classic granite. Could be a picture out of a geology textbook with the words "typical granite" next to it. G and H: not rock, as labeled I, J, K: "Quartz", which means they take a wheelbarrow of ground up quartz and glue it together with epoxy or something. Not actually a slab of natural quartz. L: more fake stuff M: Hmmm. When I see swirly whorls I tend to think it's a metamorphic rock like marble, but the patterning here may just be interesting patterning and not that. This could be a granite or granite-adjacent natural stone. N, P, R: yeah some kind of marble. "Marble" covers a huge amount of ground, broadly it's a metamorphic, softer rock converted from limestone by pressure and heat. If you get acid on it it should fizz, and if it doesn't, it's not marble. Could be quartzite, which would actually I think make a better countertop, being harder and not susceptable to weathering from acid, water, etc. But I'd assume if they're saying it's a marble, that's what it is. O: Sure, granite. A lighter one with loads of feldspar and quartz, but you can see some of the other darker crystals in there too. Q: Crappy construction, this post is now thread-relevant S: I'm really suspicious. I want Scarodactyl to tell me he's ever seen a real granite with a swirly pattern in it. Hydrothermal intrusions and dykes don't count. If we had a close-up picture so I could see the crystals that would help a lot, but at first glance that looks like marble to me. T: theoretically that could be marble, but it looks like an engineered stone to me. If it's really marble it's quite striking and beautiful.

Leperflesh posted:Q: Crappy construction, this post is now thread-relevant My entire workplace is extremely thread relevant(also thank you for the response, I'm greatly surprised even ANY of these looked like what they were labelled as.). We've got about a dozen glass sliding doors in the place, locally made, when they were building the place, they shipped the doors all the way to Hungary, yanked out the controls and motors, replaced them with Hungarian ones, shipped them back to Denmark, installed the doors and then spent about two years troubleshooting them to the point where the first year and a half the company just had a technician at the front door every morning, without even being called, because he knew he was going to be needed. The eventual solution was just rip the doors apart again and reinstall the original controls and motors, which have since worked more or less flawlessly. The entire interior has literally no drainage. Zero floor drains. Nothing. Good loving luck if we ever have a major leak. Speaking of, the roof leaks, and the internal drainpipes leak at the joins whenever it rains hard enough, and about half the bathrooms have their drainpipes leaning up rather than down so they don't work right. The heating systems don't work right, and there's zero natural draft or ventilation in the summer. Climate change has made the last two summers working there real fun. By which I mean gently caress my life and we've had people passing out from heatstroke. It's literally a 1:1 copy of a building they made in Hungary... except without taking into account that some local items(for instance toilets...) are differently dimensioned, thus leading to several doors that can only barely open and close. And that's not even getting into the electrical work which has caused at least one permanent injury I'm aware of, and requires so many visits from a local electrician that he might as well have his own office with us. He's been maintaining the same terrible poo poo installations for ten years now. The lifts needed for maintenance and reaching our top shelves can only barely maneuver through half the aisles. A future update to the building is going to require them narrowing all the aisles, so maintenance will be entirely impossible, rather than just kind of impossible.

And stainless counters are great for people who cook like a pro because you can abuse the gently caress out of it and it only really needs some hand polishing to get back to good. Seriously, every steel countertop I’ve come across is backed(from the factory) with plywood, there is no chance of it being cheap feeling, flexing etc. You are insane to pay for a 10mm stainless steel countertop.

I'd love to know what type of granite the counter tops are (or are they even granite??) in the house I just bought in January. They didn't finish and there's nothing against the wall so it could also be considered crappy construction!

Found the worst kitchen layout   Note the minimal electrical outlets, the stove across the room from the countertop workspace, position of the stove in the direct path of the traffic pattern, useless narrow desk/bar area, and fridge in the butler's pantry. Cooking a meal in here must be infuriating. Youth Decay fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Aug 25, 2019 |

Youth Decay posted:There used to be a Tumblr called Kitchen Islands You Can gently caress On and this would fit perfectly there. I’ve not tried, but the glass block blows and I was told the granite was $15k throughout the kitchen/living room fireplace. They’d crack the gently caress out of it taking it down. And lol story we had a water leak that came from sources unknown, I looked pulled out all the dishwasher, baseboards, etc. it was onto maple hardwood. It warped and went up 6” in a spot below that piano bar/loving table. Started to separate the pieces. Two plumbers later, I found it my self through a heat vent from the basement. It was a blue line reverse osmosis line that the replacement cabinet dudes before me put black electric tape crimped to shut it......versus walking to the osmosis filters and shut the saddle valve. That I promptly did.

Dienes posted:Why do SO MANY house have a little desk/work niche in the kitchen that is ill-suited for both office work and kitchen work? That one is on top of a radiator hidden under the counter, so it forced the counter above normal height We took out the radiators and installed a bunch of these: https://www.supplyhouse.com/Beacon-Morris-K42-K42-Twin-Flo-III-Kick-Space-Heater They use the same heating loop as the radiators, and when they sense the water heating up they turn on a small electric blower so that a couple tiny little units under the cabinet base can do the same work as that giant radiator.

Leperflesh posted:M: Hmmm. When I see swirly whorls I tend to think it's a metamorphic rock like marble, but the patterning here may just be interesting patterning and not that. This could be a granite or granite-adjacent natural stone. Same general composition as granite but smooshed and chemical processes concentrate darker and lighter minerals into bands. Might have started as granite and just been smooshed a bit, or as shale and gone through a ton of metamorphism to grow such big crystals. But it could be marble too. Can't tell with any certainty. My first geology course was on the Tuolumne suite, and I was also pretty captivated by those sphenes. My one real publication is on the hornblende crystals in the halfdome granodiorite too. I hope you really like whatever else you ended up studying because you should have majored in geology.

Now I want to rig up a bench power supply so that a faucet handle controls it. Handle left increases the voltage. Handle up increases the current limit.

I had something similar recently. A combination of a disconnected ground (because the electricains who did my house where apparently on meth that day), and a monitor backfeeding voltage down the VGA cable resulted in 45VAC present between PC case, and well... everything! Everything metal connected to the PC was live. I found a shorted cap inside the monitor power supply that was apparently causing a ground fault. With the missing ground circuit, it went down the VGA cable to the PC instead. Ending up taking every outlet out and repairing the terribly crimped grounds. And also recapping the power supply fixed the monitor.

Also the use of military-brown eagles is perhaps not a great image. Let's hope the visible "8" is just the numbering of the pod and not written on all of them.
