Empty Sandwich posted:one of the houses I lived in as a kid had radiant heat in all the ceilings. this struck me as profoundly and variously stupid. Radiant ceiling systems actually have a few advantages, but what most people like about radiant is toasty toes, so that's usually what gets installed. You can also do cooling with ceiling radiant systems, which has a LOT of advantages if you do it right. You see these more in larger commercial or public buildings, because you can save a boatload of energy with radiant. with residential, the installation cost gets counted first.

One problem with this style of construction is the amount of water needed for fire sprinklers. A type V (which I think this is) would need a lot more water than a type II.

That's a military "shelter" for some kind of electronic equipment. In the 60-90's it was common design practice to install your electronics for whatever inside these, and then mount these kinds of shelters on trucks, or installing them on a pad or wheels. Those things rarely fully lock from the outside; there's usually some method of getting out from within even if it's fully locked. My satellite system shelter was of a similar design and there was a vented door that you could actually seal yourself in while giving the outer appearance is being locked up and unattended. Pretty much any place you can get a modicum of privacy ended up being called a "jack shack" ime This is all to say that is very common to find these units abandoned or as surplus on military installations, and the military is filled with oversized kids.

It's usually drowned out by the sound of a short-piped 10kW diesel generator usually like 15 ft away and the racks crammed full of loving ancient equipment cooling fans. But it would FEEL loving great going right down the back of your neck on a 100+ degree day.

In the 60-90's it was common design practice to install your electronics for whatever inside these, and then mount these kinds of shelters on trucks, or installing them on a pad or wheels. Military hardware usually doesn’t look like it is cobbled together from plywood, and those casters don't look heavy enough either. Maybe it was built by somebody who wanted it to look like what you described. About the AC, yeah, when it gets hot enough you stop caring about the noise. 35 years ago, watch duty in the transmitter truck was the nicest place to be on maneuvers, being dry, toasty in winter, and in summer you could use the cooling air hose on yourself instead of on the equipment. Some pictures including what seems to be the equipment we used (not my branch of service though). To get back to the theme of the thread, these guys are working on the kind of transmitter tower we used. We only went to 32m, that was scary enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vudQfALy0FM

The ones I saw from 80s vintage were all aluminum sheeting with insulation under that were banged up like that from hail and general mishandling. And overseas dudes just cobbled together poo poo like that all the time. I would have found that a use like an equipment storage of I found some wheels I could kinda bolt into the mounting equipment or just putting it on some plywood with the wheels attached like a big furniture dolly.

wooger posted:I don’t think it should even more expensive for a new build. One thing I dislike about our hydronic floor heating is that it heats the inside of the drawers in the kitchen because the floor underneath them is heated and this rises up through the drawers when closed. Figured this out because we had problems with onions and garlic spoiling quite fast. Onions would easily last weeks in the old place with radiators. Gotta get me an earthen cellar....

Have you tried pulling out the bottom drawer and installing some insulation? There's usually a couple of inches down there and it'd be a pretty quick do it yourself project.

LMAO my first AT my jackass future team leader tried to fix the DCSCU cards fully powered on and let all the magic smoke out so we got to hand crank our antennas for the next two years or so. For the 16 foot antenna we at least got to use the stow/deploy switch for elevation. Till we got the cool antenna control unit! Now with electronic limits and box scanning! And then that immediately fried the 16 foot antenna. E: oh man satcom shame DSCS != DCSCU but still related. I grew up in 85s and 93s, then when we went WINT I got into TDMA stuff and hated the loving phoenix. Wasabi the J fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Oct 14, 2020 |

From personal experience I'm going to have to say that oregano grown in the garden in this climate is just fine. My mum used to grow it in her garden, along with dill, parsley, and chives - although I don't know if chives are a herb

I have been blessed with a balcony so good for growing herbs that even my lazy rear end can't gently caress it up, I got more sunlight than the plants know what to do with and the place is so windy that in like 5 years I had no problems with pests. E:Image added for basil.

I really can't guess where that is - the climate looks temperate, the car plates are european-style, the letters look latin, the cars look fairly new, and the architecture and stop lights are ... hard to place. Somewhere between Estonia and Nigeria? South America somewhere? I need to play more geoguesser.
