Laminator posted:I'm in a rental house now, it's an older home but I'm not sure of the age. There's lots of crappy construction in it (charm, I think they call it), but I'm most concerned about electrical. There's not a single GFCI in the place, including the outlet above the sink. Is this typically something that the leasing company will fix if I request it? I'm getting mixed answers from Google. Texas code, if that helps. Oh god the triplex I live in is exactly like this. The only outlet in the bathroom is above the sink built into the light fixture.

Yeah I think you have that backwards. Electric for the oven, gas for the cooktop is the way to go. I would rather have a decent electric cooktop versus a lovely bottom barrel gas stove though.

I have a non-induction ceramic cooktop and the manual says cast iron is not recommended unless "designed specifically for glass cooktops." I would be worried about it scratching the cooktop more than anything. All my pots are stainless steel anyway.

Actually it's legionella that's the problem. Most bacteria will grow very well in the range of 95-115 degrees. Above 120 shouldn't be a problem. If you keep it low, all you need to do is crank it up to the highest temperature for a few hours once a month.

Alereon posted:Since when is Legionella a concern in domestic water systems? Unless you live on a filthy well your city water has residual chlorination levels sufficient to kill Legionella. The concern is with cooling towers and industrial/commercial hot water systems. Unless you or someone you live with has a compromised immune system, scalding from hot water is likely a much higher risk. Actually chemical disinfectants like chlorine can be rendered inactive in the presence of a biofilm, so it can still be an issue with municipal water supplies.

Alereon posted:Okay, but how is there going to be a Legionella-containing biofilm in pipes that have only ever held chlorinated city water? Sorry if it seems like I'm being contrary, it's just that someone in your house is about 50 times as likely to suffer a scalding burn as get Legionnaire's disease. It seems like that should be the obvious priority when setting a domestic hot water heater temperature, unless you live with someone with AIDS or drink from a filthy well. Legionella and human flesh have similar heat tolerances. No I agree that scalding is a problem. Keeping a gas heater at 120 would be sufficient. If I had an electric I would probably keep it a little higher because they heat a little slower.

Platystemon posted:tl;dr: OP documents their house. No good deed (pun acknowledged) goes unpunished and now OP has to defend themselves from a bogus lawsuit in small claims court. I need to remember to post the stuff I got from the previous owner of my house. He was an engineer who did all sorts of DIY stuff, including security system. He left detailed instructions and blueprints for everything he did. He also had 40 years worth of instruction manuals and receipts for every appliance in the house.

I knew some folks that lived in the middle of nowhere. Electricity was provided by a wind turbine, solar panels, and a back-up generator, along with an enormous bank of lead-acid batteries for storage. All of their major appliances other than the washer, were powered by propane, including the refrigerator. I think it was also self-built out of hay bales. The kids room was up a super steep ladder to a loft that had no railings. God I wish I had pictures.

Baronjutter posted:How come so many sinks have the faucet set so far back that you have to jam your hands against the back of the basin to wash them? I see this so often at restaurants too, they'll have some massive ridiculous ultra-modern basin and then this tiny little faucet that just dribbles some water along the back wall of the basin. People buy sinks and faucets without any actual measuring.

I found the Zillow listing for the front door toilet house. It sold for $670,000 in 2017 https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1422-Marshall-St-Oceanside-CA-92054/16584351_zpid/ It looks like they turned an old garage into an enormous bathroom, so less bad than expected, but not ideal.
