Azza Bamboo posted:I wonder if it was meant to be a bed and that's what caused the beam on the end there to split like it has. I'm pretty sure that's two 2x4s together, not a split beam, but it's hard to tell.

I did this when roofing my workshop, a 1-story building with a fairly shallow roof pitch. Even with only moving half a bundle at a time, it's not much fun, but it's better than schlepping 4'x8'x.75" plywood sheets up that way. Don't let 'em slip, or they'll fall between you and the ladder and good loving luck making a safe landing after that. (I did not move my plywood that way because I could tell it would be problematic, but there was a brief period where I was contemplating it)

wesleywillis posted:Bbbbbuuutt That pallet held 2000 pounds worth of cement bags!! My kid is only 65 pounds!! My father-in-law and I built a bunk bed for my kid out of tamarack bullnose decking. Tamarack is absurdly strong and heavy. He designed it like he was framing a commercial building so the 2x6's were tripled for the supporting members on the corners. We glue laminated them with slots for the side members that supports the decking that the mattress sits upon. It can be easily disassembled into components for transport as I used heavy carriage bolts to lock everything in place. If I wanted to, I suppose I could put in cable and turnbuckles to really stiffen it but it's already too stiff to cause racking. It's so strong that it would easily handle a dynamic load in the 20,000 lb range. It is not secured in any way to the wall. It's so heavy that I can climb up and try to tip it over with my 240lb weight and it doesn't even make a squeak sound. It's a wonderful thing. It is also ugly as sin. Goddamn though, it is tough. Ugly, but indestructible.

Took me a minute to figure out what was going on here   I've seen people add screened porches to RVs but this seems like a step beyond that also there's a fridge across from the toilet in the added laundry room-pantry-bathroom so that's convenient

I sort of like the mythology that RV's are actually just the mobile/larva form of houses. They use their mobile phase to find a site and the become immobile and grow into a home. My friend lives in a house like that. Wasn't an RV but a mobile home that someone put on the site, then added another to make it a double wide, then added a few more rooms over the years to the point that you wouldn't really know unless you looked at it top down on google earth.

I've unironically always wanted to build something like a Command & Conquer Mobile Construction Vehicle, where it's a truck that origamis into a building, with the truck engine powering a small generator and also a crane. Bonus points if the conversion is reversible. It would revolutionize everything.

Jerry Cotton posted:More like Copropolis.  It honestly looks like what my grandparents did with their summer home. For some reason they weren't allowed to build an actual house on the property they got for it, but they were allowed to put a mobile home on the property. So they did that, then they got a permit to build a porch on the front, which they did. Then they got another permit the next year to build a back porch. And then a sun room the next year on a third side, which faced east. Next year, a (very small) branch fell on one side somehow so they got permission to rebuild that side of the place and replaced the last wall. And then like two or so years later some residential developer came and bought a shitload of land along the lake and had the whole thing rezoned.

I don't have that particular stove, but I do have a builder grade glass top electric range that's pushing 25 years now. I'd much prefer a nice gas stove, but I hate replacing appliances before they fail and this thing is a tank. I can also cook bomb rear end meals on it, so it's not exactly holding us back.

House shopping in Yakima with a seller's market with 1-2% vacancy. Found a nice Spanish-style house a flipper bought from a hoarder and then made some choices in. https://www.zillow.com/homes/12-Chicago-Ave-Yakima,-WA,-98902_rb/23686259_zpid/ Before:  After:  Other side of that arch, where a big shade tree was removed on south side of flat-roofed house. "The Palm Springs of Washington" gets 320 days of sun a year.  This window is behind the microwave. That blue box is in the top cabinet, where the microwave/charcoal vent is plugged in. The photo was taken from the narrow strip between houses. There is an ancient giant REEM vent above it that I assume would work for a stove if that window didn't exist.  Otherwise it's flipper chic, with the money put into luxuries. There were permits and stuff on the counter, but if I wasn't already hesitant about the flat roof, that microwave window scared me off. There were a lot of instances of lack of care in the finishing, paint spatter on the finished basement floor, and you can see in the listing photo that the drawer under the sink is missing a handle, right next to the fancy tub. The beautiful vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a 180 degree view of the hills also still has it's external vent/birdhouse and I'm not confident he insulated and sealed that roof correctly. There is a new panel full of 15 amp breakers and outlets in the floor, but the wiring isn't updated? I've seen a few houses with knob and tube still, but couldn't verify what was in the walls. Check out the price history for a tale of hubris and shame.

Partially bad pictures, but it jumped up like 1,000 sq feet from the previous listing in 2018, so  The downstairs space is definitely not efficient; that front lower wall is where they enclosed the garage decades ago, and the ceiling in the garage/room (which looks wavy) is a giant block of concrete. It's like a gunnery nest.
