MRC48B posted:Those pendant lamps are supposed to have a second hanger that suspends them center over the middle of the countertop. The extra cord gets looped in some way to keep them at the right height. Nah, you're supposed to trim the wire to the desired height when you install them. I can only assume what you see there is the cord length out of the factory and it was literally babbys first light fixture install. Or the flipper was just a moron. Possibly both.

My neighbors have a huge silver maple that is approx 6 inches from my driveway. It has pushed up my driveway, front yard, my sidewalks, neighbors sidewalks, everything--to the point where trucks can't go up my driveway and most cars scrape their mufflers at a minimum getting up it. It sucks and at some point I'm going to have to have a Come To Jesus talk with them about getting rid of it bc I need to replace half my driveway, the aprop, a bunch of sidewalk, and regrade the yard, and I suspect cutting out a bunch of its roots to do so will either kill the tree or cause it to grow new roots and just ruin all the new concrete in <10yrs. It's a really nice probably close to 100yo tree and I absolutely do not want to kill it just for a stupid driveway but I'm not sure what else to do.

I've got a gingko in my backyard which is awesome, because for years I planned to plant a gingko whenever I finally had my own yard. In the fall they turn yellow all at once and after a frost, drop all of their leaves in a day or two. Their shape and the leaves are really beautiful all year round. But then it turns out it might be a hermaphrodite tree. Previous owner left me something that says it's a male, but last fall it dropped fruit. Gingko fruit is mildly poisonous AND touching it with bare hands can give you blisters similar to poison ivy. And when it starts to rot, it smells like vomit! This fall, no fruit. I've read they can spontaneously change their gender, so I have no clue what to expect next. Previous owner made a lot of bizarre landscaping decisions and planted half a dozen weird rear end trees on this .2 acre lot, 2 of which I've already had to remove, 2 which are ok for now, and 2 of which grow inedible-because-they're-poisonous fruit. Pics of the dumb trees I've had to remove:  Yeah let's just let this sapling grow directly on the property line and inside the fence and directly next to the garage for 20+ years instead of pulling out when it's tiny, makes sense  Chopped off the main branches of this tree and then left the massive dead trunk in the yard for a decade+ Edit: added some pics Sirotan fucked around with this message at 05:00 on Dec 16, 2020 |

It's hard to tell how high those ceilings are, but my guess is it's a lift/autostacker thing so you can get 2 cars into one space.

I kinda want to do the whole vintage pink tile thing when I redo my bathroom but I'll probably just wuss out and go for white tiles and pink wall paint. Did find that there is a flickr group dedicated to saving pink bathrooms that has a great collection of photos: https://www.flickr.com/groups/savethepinkbathrooms/pool/

mostlygray posted:My buddies family had a portable when I was a kid. It actually worked pretty well. I have a tiny kitchen and I can't wait until the day that I can rip out all the old cabinets and install a dishwasher. Every minute of my life spent handwashing dishes feels like a waste and I hate it very much. I've also managed to break a few glasses recently, which would have never happened had they gone into a dishwasher, so I'm feeling even more bitter about it than usual. And it's a hugely inefficient use of water! Literally no upsides imho.

They did a lovely job of cutting the ditra too, and then made absolutely no effort to seal it where the subfloor meets the walls.

Sentient Data posted:Would that even really matter? Unless the toilet had a constant leak it doesn't seem like there would be enough flow to even be lukewarm in the upper tank Stayed at an AirBNB in the Before Times and someone had put in an obviously unpermitted ~*~master suite~*~ on the second floor of the house that included a half bath stuffed into a closet where someone had plumbed the toilet up to the hot water line. I was there in the summer so it was already pretty warm up there, but when you flushed the thing it would make the entire bathroom uncomfortably warm and humid. I guess if you wanna give your rear end a little steam bath it's fine.

As with anything it's very market dependant. House with no tub in a hot market: no probably not. House with no tub in a cool market: maybe? It will turn off buyers that want one, but there also might be some who don't. I bought a house with one bathroom and no tub and I view it as a plus, imho baths suck and I love my huge shower. But I also have no children or large pets, and am tall so I've never enjoyed them anyway. Sirotan fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Apr 2, 2021 |

Thinking about putting a wall mounted toilet in my (only) bathroom because the current toilet has a like 16" rough-in and there's really no way to move it back (no I don't want a rear discharge toilet) and when you sit on it your knees are in the shower. It sucks, an in-wall toilet would save so much room and look amazing. Also my current plan is to install it myself so I'm really hoping to not become a candidate for this thread.

PurpleXVI posted:I would suggest not installing it yourself unless you're quite familiar with plumbing work. Not because it's necessarily very hard to do if you know how to follow the instructions, but because if you gently caress it up you've now got a well-hidden leak that can do a lot of fun hidden damage until it makes something collapse. Yep totally agree with you there, that is the part I'm still waffling on. It may end up being that I do the general construction part of the install and the hire out the plumbing portion. I've got 6+ months to think about it. Really dreading the whole ordeal since it's the only shitter I've got.

Ashcans posted:Guy only needs insurance on the dumb tree to close the sale, he's planning on removing it and remodeling, but can't close because no one wants anything to do with the tree at all. I imagine that he's going to have to find some company willing to give him some 3-month policy at a wild price just to close the sale. From the sounds of it they had the house paid off so no mortgage or requirement for insurance, were just yoloing it up without insurance in Florida.
