Are we sure those are tiles? They look like regular and chocolate flavored graham crackers.

It looks like rather than repair the existing decking, they just went over it with some of those cheap patio tiles.

Lesson for later: If I do want a tree inside my house, put it in a boxed-in atrium instead of routing the trunk through my kitchen and out through the roof; got it.

Someone on native / First Nations twitter had said, "I don't understand landownership. The land lets you live there," and tree house has me thinking about that a lot.

If you use a screwdriver instead of a fuse it becomes a different kind of adventure

YOU HAVE MY POST!
When I was a kid I once used a weird brass-looking flat screwdriver I found in the garage and it was weirdly soft and the tip got kinda bent and my dad yelled at me for messing up his nonconductive fuse-puller tool. Which made it all the more surprising when I later learned about the time the Air force accused him of accidentally destroying a live Minuteman missile by using a (regular, conductive) screwdriver to pull a fuse.

?? Fuse pullers dont look like screwdrivers, they're like pliers. Are you thinking of a brass screwdriver? I guess they're non-sparking in theory, but google tells me they're more useful to adjust compasses (since they're not ferromagnetic)

Yeah, that was what I was trying to imply, that he was using the wrong tool for the job.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's a meter holder not a fusebox so its just free real estate electricity.

I'm a terribly impractical person about some things. I would totally wear down my husband until we could buy that house, then I'd demand we fill it with round furniture.

Imagine trying to sleep next to even a moderate snorer in there.

The carpeted bathroom is a war crime, but everything else is dated enough it's moderately cool? I have qualms about the brightly colored blue and yellow sink basins, too, I guess.

the only thing wrong with this house is that some of the updated cabinets do not match the styling of all the original stuff in the house
