Is an R.V. trailer allowed in the crappy construction thread? Maybe it would be better suited to AI.

Dillbag posted:Did the Brady Bunch run a Victorian brothel, or did the home owners find possibly the worst home stager on the planet, who also happened time traveller? I'd live the gently caress in that house. The bitches would be beating down my door trying to get me to be their pimp. I even saw a powder blue 2 door 1970-something Lincoln for sale yesterday that would be perfect in the driveway. Hopefully there is a pimp cane and pimp chalice somewhere in that place.

I drilled through a waterline one time and that was pretty much how it was fixed. Called up a company to fix the line they asked "you guys got all your locates"? "Yup, except for the waterline, but you can see where that one is now..."

Boogalo posted:We did not gently caress around with our playforts in the late 80's and early 90's. Plenty of sharpened sticks in the ground and some sprung/swinging branches as traps, but a metal spike dropper is another level. Back in the 80s and 90s my friends and I had something of a rivalry going on with some other fort building guys. THey'd build a fort, we'd destroy it, and jack their poo poo, we'd build a fort with the jacked poo poo, they'd destroy it and jack their poo poo back plus any of our poo poo. We even had formal boundaries of their turf and our turf. Dividing line was a ditch. From the top of the embankments down was a neutral zone/no-man's land/DMZ. At one point we even negotiated a peace treaty with them, which we promptly broke and destroyed their poo poo again, before they came and destroyed our poo poo again. One time in particular, we came by night, and dismantled their fort piece by piece, nail by nail rather than the usual break poo poo by any means necessary. We did put aside the rivalry one time in order to throw snow balls at cars after we just happened to have a chance encounter with their "gang" in the same spot at the same time tossing snowballs at cars. Yeah, we had booby traps too. They weren't that effective.

Coasterphreak posted:developers get away with buying up three or four adjacent single-family lots and cramming as many townhomes as possible on every square inch of land. THIS. In my line of work, I see that constantly. Four or five houses with decent sized lots getting bought up and then cramming 50-60 townhouses on them. In fairness, a lot of the houses are in pretty lovely shape, but some look (from the outside anyway) to be pretty nice.

San fran goons should buy some beaters and park them there. Ship them in from the rust belt.

I'd live in that place like a muthafucka. I paid 640/month for a sleazy assed motherfucking place that was like 1/8th the size of that with a moldy rotten assed bathroom and a cokehead landlord that was constantly waking me up at 3am with loud obnoxious 1980s hair metal. I was there for 11 years. gently caress, for that matter, I paid 220,000 for a condo, thats 1/5th the size of that joint. My mortgage is almost twice what that rent is.

People bitch about electricity rates in Ontario. We supposedly got rid of coal, decommissioned a bunch of hydro electric dams up north, and replaced a poo poo load of it with wind and solar. Last month I used about 10$ worth of electricity, the delivery fee was 23 dollars. Actually, my delivery fee has always been higher than what I use.... Not mine, but a local utility rate charts, I think they're the same across the province. https://www.horizonutilities.com/myHome/ElectricityRates/Pages/Archived/2015/SmartMeter-2015-01.aspx

I need to replace my thermostat. I looked at the breaker panel and turned off the switch for the heater. It wasn't the right breaker. Neither were half of the other ones. Circuits 11, 16, 18 don't even exist apparently. I'm still trying to figure out what circuit 12a is.

Facebook Aunt posted:Now I'm wondering if wasn't a deliberate choice. If the the only shower heads available in local stores are the modern environmentally friendly low flow ones, and you hate those (or hate the idea of them) then a garden hose nozzle might seem like an attractive alternative. Hella strong spray comes out of those things. There has yet to be a low flow shower head that I've not been able to turn in to a high flow.

That floor looks pretty dope actually. I'd guess that cleaning it with a vacuum wouldn't be too bad, at least as far as just sucking up the poo poo between the cracks. Actually using some kind of floor cleaner to clean (vs just vacuuming) would be considerably difficult I'd imagine.

The Hyatt Regency collapse happened because, as stated, the design changed slightly. The cross beam was only meant to hold the weight of one walk way, but held two. The load for both was supposed to be bared (borne?) on the threaded rods. Yeah  I saw that episode of Engineering disasters.

PainterofCrap posted:After nearly 30-years, mine is...but drat if I can find what I need, when I need it. Reminds me of working on my car in my parent's driveway. I drop a nut or bolt in to the far dark recesses of my engine bay. "Oh poo poo, what the gently caress do I do? That nut/bolt/screw holds together my entire engine, without it, my car will spontaneously combust". Looks in the random old sour cream/yogurt/cottage cheese containers, and comes up with, screw/nut/bolt thats got the wrong size/drive head, is too long and comes from god knows where while being rusty as hell. But with some washers, its now the right length and holds that bitch together for the next five years until the car get junked. The entire time I'm thinking, "I should probably replace that poo poo with the proper one".

If you're looking for actual books, this one is pretty good, in addition to the one the other goon mentioned.

When they bought it, a second bathroom wasn't a big deal but, by the time they sold it, it was. It was a shotgun house built in the 1860's with editions put on in the 1880's and then again in the 1980's. Weird house, but pleasant. It definitely needed another pisser.
