I have heard tales of how if you don't keep your garden shed padlocked at all times the bobbies will sneak in your back gate and confiscate all your gardening equipment in the name of public safety, a plastic rake could be deadly in the hands of a teenage burglar.

I'm a native, so they've always just existed for me, but maybe? It's basically the perfect tool to weed a yard of rocks or hard pack dirt, so Arizona is probably where they are the most common.

I've got one in the kitchen that has to be trimmed about half an inch, as I recall, because they installed cabinets too close to the door frame. Why they didn't just double it up on the other side of the wall with the dining are alight, I have no idea (I do - it's laziness.) The plate that was on there when we bought the place was just roughly broken off and patched with caulk. Previous owners *loved* caulk as a solution for everything. It's got a properly cut one now, if such a thing can be said to exist. Xlorp posted:She'll be coming down the mountain when she comes

Jenkl posted:loving bureaucratic pencil pushers always trying to squeeze a buck from the little man, it's pathetic I tells ya. Years ago I did some work on a small apartment building that was sort of the reverse of this image. It had a huge 15' stone retaining wall between the road and the building up on a hill. The owner was complaining endlessly to me about how the drat bureaucratic pencil pushers are making him spend thousands getting a whole engineering report done on the wall just because over 50 years it had settled by maybe 1 degree. Luckily he knew an engineering company who could do it all on the cheap. He got the inspection done, they said the wall was fine and continued to rant about what a waste of money it is and how there's nothing worse than being a landlord in this city. Like a month later the entire wall collapsed onto the street. He then sued his "friend" who did the engineering inspection on the cheap and that's when it came out that he didn't actually pay the engineer to do the type of inspection the city asked for.

I'd have to assume so given the setback from that road for where they have the foundations staked is like two feet.

After researching and talking with contractors, settled on this shed, great shelter from sun and snow and ventilation isn’t compromised.    Reddit freaks out, he replies: quote:Hmmm, no humans will be sleeping in the equipment shed though and, at most, I’m in there 5-10 min a day, and I keep the doors open 90% if the time. I’ll look into it, thanks for the advice. But in the end it seems he did get the message and will remediate the situation. Here is a rendering of the planned ventilation

Plus waste heat plus now your heater is using its own exhaust gas as intake gas, which is not going to be great for efficiency or longevity. This is to say nothing of the danger to life it poses. edit: That heater is 400,000 BTU/hr by the way. sleepy gary fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Jul 13, 2023 |
