Looks like a construction project in progress quite far from the lake, but what is the crappy construction? It is not obvious to me.

It's me. I'm the crappy construction. Overspackled before painting, ended up with a wall having a full-on hives allergic reaction to the paint. Now I scratched the hives away with sandpaper but took too much so there's a bunch of open sores on the wall that I'm having to backfill with spackle before repainting them and doing coat 2.

I think I've told this story in here before, but I was helping mud a friend's house once, and was doing really careful smoothing, as my father taught me. another guy there wouldn't stop making fun of me. he'd worked as a drywaller and according to him the only way to do it is to slop poo poo on there and then let the sanders deal with it. he was leaving absolute piles on the wall. when the homeowner came back to sand later it was not me he was yelling at in absentia.

It's also wasteful and more likely to develop cracks when it's laid on too thick.

A good coat of mud is the one you barely need to sand. Watch how professionals work. They will sand with a yellow sponge sometimes, because the finish is so fine

Granted it's probably not plumbed, but I love a good toilet in the yard, must go back to when I moved to Tennessee. At this point I want a plumbed outhouse with a split farmhouse door so I can leave the top open and wave at the neighbors as they drive by for work during my morning constitution.

Granted it's probably not plumbed, but I love a good toilet in the yard, must go back to when I moved to Tennessee. At the last warehouse I lived at, I installed a second shower, and I joked with my housemates that we could install one open air on the roof, livestream it, and use that to pay our rent. Now, though, open-air plumbed toilet in the front yard is my suburban fantasy.

It's the best idea the Scrubs writers ever came up with, the roof toilet episode. I feel like it'd be a power move to put a plumbed shitter in your yard if you lived in an HOA neighborhood. As though they would have to crown you king of the street.

Hell I'm just thinking about it now, like really considering it, and as long as you've got a sewer cleanout stack capped in your yard, all the plumbing you'd really need to do is a garden hose to fill the flush tank. Or just fill a bucket to take out with you. The cleanout for my place is right next to the AC compressor, which is cool, because then I've already got a place to put my coffee mug.

I reckon the height of the worst storm in the UK for years is just about the worst time to do (unsecured!) roof work.

Ghost Leviathan posted:I think there's a Chinese phrase for this often used in particular examples of terrible construction that translates to something like 'good enough' or 'not my problem anymore'. "Chabuduo", which I was told means "difference not much" and is used as a synonym for "gently caress it, good enough". I learned it from this thread!

StormDrain posted:Tell me you live somewhere that doesn't freeze without telling me. This is why I like the idea of a plumbed outhouse. I live at 7500 feet. Odds are I'd want R30 walls, an R50 roof, and heated floors, because I would run power to it (and who doesn't like warm feet while they poop). I'd probably have to put a storm door on it for the winter, so the split farmhouse door would have to open inward. It got down to about -25°F here this winter, but nightly lows are more like 0°F for a few months. And pipes have to go down 5 feet here, frost line is 3 feet. The mountain views here are probably worth it.

Shits and giggles. I don't know. I'm just drawn to the idea, like geodesic greenhouses and A-frames and hempcrete. Someday I'll make someone in a county office here reach for a large bottle of aspirin.

Warmachine posted:It isn't the same without a breeze tickling your privates. In the non-winter months, yes, that's a big draw. Ideally my outhouse door will be on the east facing side, so I'll need windows for ventilation on north and south faces. If I keep it under 100 sq ft, technically I wouldn't need a permit for it in this county, or any of the ones directly around me.
